The memoir/family history was created by Elena S. Whiteside as told to her by Paul Wos, Irena Wos Madejska, Odon Wos, and Wanda Wos Lorenc. The donor presumably left photocopied sections (i.e., introductory pages and chapters by Paul Wos and Irena Wos Madejska) when she visited the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Oral History Department in May 1992. That department passed on the materials (or photocopies of some) to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives ca. Sept. 1992.
