Bach family

The collection consists primarily of German publications by Dr. Kurt M. Dresel during the interwar period.

The collection contains original and published materials pertaining primarily to the family of Marietta Bach in Munich, Germany and their textile company. Also included are mostly published materials about Jews in Bavaria during the Nazi period and the November pogrom.

This collection contains a comprehensive and very well annoted historical collection of documents of the Bach and Mayer family from Stuttgart and Neustadt an der Weinstrasse. Vital documents reflecting the families' professions and essential information such as family trees, birth, marriage, and death certificates, and wills are complemented by photographs, correspondence and memoirs. Most original German documents from the 19th century are translated into English, and some are annotated with complementary information from family memory.
