Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection consists largely of letters from civilians living in postwar Germany asking for assistance. The letters are organized according to the occupation zone of the person asking for assistance: American, British, French, or Russian. Additionally, one folder contains letters and thank you notes from the teachers and students of the Freie Waldorfschule (the Free Waldorf School) in Marburg, Germany (American Occupation Zone), which received over 800 pounds of school supplies, clothing, food, and candy from the Auxiliary. Finally, the collection contains an early and final draft of a history of the Denver Turner's Auxiliary and an early and final draft of an oral history interview with Gertrude Dienst conducted by Bartholomew Rice, giving anecdotes and information concerning her early life.
