Anna Schneider Correspondence

The Anna Schneider Correspondence contains letters between Anna Schneider and her son Karl as well as correspondence between her and other associates. In addition, there is some correspondence of Karl with his relatives. The bulk of the correspondence is between Anna and Karl, 1939 - 1941. Additionally, there are four letters from Ruza, a cousin of Karl’s who resided in Horne Pocernice in Bohemia, to Karl in Palestine, written between February 1947 and July 1947. Additionally, there is a small amount of genealogical information about the Schneider family in the form of correspondence from 1993 between Hilda Schneider and her cousin Franz who resided in London.

The majority of this correspondence is written in German and Ruza's letters are written in Czech. All Czech latters and about half of the German correspondence are accompanied by an English translation.

The genealogical correspondence provides information about the birth dates, marriage dates, and brief biographical information about the Schneider family dating back to the 1800s, Hilda's great-grand parents' generation. This brief biographical information includes information about descendents, maiden names, years of death, and known deportation years.
