The collection consists of a bound volume containing a photocopy of a handwritten diary entitled"Diary of the Holocaust 1943-1944; Buch " by Edith Goldapper. In the diary, Edith, originally of Vienna, Austria, writes about being sent to a children's home in Belgium in 1938, living in children's homes in France, and crossing the border into Switzerland. She also writes about living in the Ringlikon refugee camp and being transferred to girls' camps in Fribourg, Neuchatel, Lucerne, and Montreux. In 1947 Edith went to work for a Jewish refugee organization in Zurich and received an affidavit from Mr. Bulova, president of the watch company, to immigrate to the United States in 1953.
