One of the two uploaded documents contains information about a Wiener Library's envelope about Oskar Maria Graf (*1894), who was a German-American writer. As an act of resistance against the Nazis, he had joined a group of socialist writers in 1933. His works were not chosen to be burned by the Nazis - he therefore publicly asked to be"burne" and has since then been counted among exile literature. He died in New York City in 1967. The second document contains official biographical information about Graf, provided by Munzinger-Archiv in 1967. It is part of the envelope, as well as various newspaper articles from 1950 to 1977.
