SERIES DESCRIPTION
Series I. Germany
The bulk of this series is comprised of Kleinman family financial
records. In order to receive permission to emigrate, the Kleinmans had to
submit tax returns and bank statements as well as detailed inventories of
their possessions. Other documents included in this series are birth and
marriage certificates.
Series II. United States
This series is made up of the post-war correspondence of A.I. Kleinman.
In his attempt to locate family members in Poland, he contacted refugee
agencies, U.S. and foreign governments and acquaintances in Israel. Once
it had been established that his family did not survive the war, he arranged
for memorials in their honor. He also put in a claim for restitution for
his mother's property in Poland.
