The Karl Peter and Victor Federer Archive (1937-1950) 

The archive does mainly consist of the letters from the Federer family to the Meyer couple during 1940-1945, both during their sons stay, his travel back to Prague and their deportation. Some of the later letters are also written by Karl Peter himself. After the war, the letters are written from Victor Federer, among other things to tell the Meyers about his wife and sons fate. There are also some photographs of the family, dating prewar and pre-deportation. The archive gives insight to the fate of one family, and a clear picture into the evacuation of Jewish children, the Norwegian foster homes care and the workings of the Nansen Aid. The letters dating immediate post war from Victor Federer also show the fate of the concentration camp survivors.
