Fuld family papers

The Fuld family papers series consists of correspondence between Lotte, Bracha, Petra, extended Fuld family members, and family friends. A large part of Fuld family correspondence is in German as the family gradually began to correspond in English in the mid-1940s. Correspondence contains letters sent from Germany in the late 1930s-early 1940s; letters by Lotte and Bracha sent from England and Palestine. Also in this series are Lotte's 1960s journals and some of her personal records and legal documents. Material related to Bracha's death and burial include letters sent to the family in March-April 1946; drafts of essays and articles about Bracha; Petra's reminiscences, clippings of newspaper articles in Hebrew and German; English translations of chapters from Bracha's biography by Sari Gal (Tel Aviv, 1999), and an English-language edition of The world's greatest women spies by Kurt Singer, that includes a chapter dedicated to Bracha. Also included is material about the Bracha and Lotte Fuld Memorial Collection at the Jewish National and University Library.
