The collection consists of documents, a personal narrative, and photographs primarily documenting the Holocaust-era experiences of Eva Rindner (née Schultzmann) and her mother Lola Blonder (previously Lola Zipser and Lola Schutzmann), including Eva’s treatment for tuberculosis as a child, her father’s death in 1937, and the family’s emigration from Vienna, Austria to Haifa, Palestine (Haifa, Israel) in 1938. Included are documents related to Lola’s work as a volunteer nurse during World War I, financial documents, and letters. The letters were addressed to Eva from her parents, and were received while she was at a summer camp in 1937. Her father Herbert died on 23 August 1937, and at least one letter from him was likely authored after his death by someone else in order for her not to know about his passing until she could be told in person. Also included is a personal narrative authored by Eva describing her family history, emigration from Vienna to Haifa in 1938, and her service in the Israeli Air Force. The photographs depict Lola and her relatives in the Zipser family, including her mother Regina and brothers Julian and Felix. There are also several photographs depicting Eva as a young child in a sanatorium in Switzerland recovering from tuberculosis and learning how to walk with leg bracers. Other images depict the family in Vienna and Haifa.
