The Tauber Holocaust Library and Archives houses personal papers, government records, photographs, and artifacts as part of its archival collections. Personal papers document the individual experiences of victims and survivors of the Holocaust. German government records provide insight into government-sponsored actions of persecution and deportation; documents published by post-war Allied occupying forces reflect post-war conditions and treatment of German nationals. Photographs include a collection of Nazi press photographs, scenes of deportation, and a large collection of US Army Signal Corps photographs of the liberation of concentration camps. The Tauber Holocaust Library’s collection of archival artifacts includes items of survivors of camps and a large collection of Nazi regalia.
