Marie Malachowski Collection
Scope and Content Note
The collection documents the personal and professional life of Marie Malachowski as well as the fate of other family members. It is divided into four series. Series І contains documents of immigration and those pertaining to education and work as both a nurse and a pre-school teacher. Series ІІ concentrates on letters from 1939 till 1942 between Marie Malachowski, her mother and others. The letters were mainly about family members, but do not mention information about the Holocaust or immigration. During the time of correspondence between Marie and her mother Hedwig, Marie had already fled to Britain, while her mother was still (and remained) in Germany. Both Series І and ІІ contain restitution material. Series ІІІ contains photographs documenting Marie Malachowski’s trip to Israel in 1935. Series ІV deals with genealogy, specifically with the family tree of Salomonsohn/Gedalia.
