Collection consists of seven folders containing extensive documents concerning Herbert E. Kronfeld's efforts to get his extended family out of Germany to the United States. Includes extensive correspondence regarding his attempts to assist with the immigration of his elderly aunt, Nanette Scheuffele, who was interned in the Gurs concentration camp in France.
