Seelinger, Bieber, and Groag families collection

Seelinger, Bieber, and Groag families collection 

The collection consists of a traditional folk costume brought with Emmerich Laszlo Seelinger and Jolanthe Bieber Seelinger when the couple fled Austria for Uruguay in 1938. The collection also includes illustrated correspondence and poetry authored by Trude Groag sent in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the end of WWII in 1965. The letter and poems were sent to Eva Feitis Schmeichler and her family by Trude Groag, a fellow survivor from Olomouc. The poems were originally composed by Trude Groag shortly after arrival in Theresienstadt in 1942.
