Accession 2000.103 --- Liebermann Family Collection
USHMM, Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies � 95
This collection contains documents pertaining to the Liebermann family‘s pursuit of
restitution (1957–1997). The donor‘s father, Hans Liebermann, escaped with his family
to the United States in 1938, and corresponded extensively with lawyers, the German
authorities, the URO, U.S. consulates, surviving members of the family living in Israel,
friends, possible witnesses, and a former bookkeeper of the family firm. He also obtained
statements; bank documents; affidavits regarding members of the family who were killed
in the Holocaust, as well as affidavits regarding real estate, jewelry, silverware, and the
expenses of the family‘s emigration. Among the pre-1945 documents supporting the
claims is significant material on the persecution and emigration of many family members.
