Dr. Emanuel Tanay collection

Dr. Emanuel Tanay collection 

Papers of Dr. Emanuel Tanay, consisting of photographs, documents, correspondence, audiovisual media, and patient case files, among other materials. Much of the material relates to the history of Dr. Tanay's family in pre-Holocaust Europe, as well as his own experiences as a Holocaust survivor in displaced persons camps following World War II. Also includes case files of patients, chiefly Holocaust survivors, whom he examined in support of their Holocaust-era restitution claims, and in relation to his own research as a psychiatrist on the effects of post-traumatic stress on Holocaust survivors.
