Lichtenstein and Rothschild Families Collection

The material in this collection allows insights into life and persecution of members of two Jewish families from Austria and Germany. While the rather administrational documents refer primarily to the Lichtenstein family, the included photographs depict members and social life of the Rothschild family. The Lichtenstein family was from Vienna, Austria, while the Rothschild family lived in Herne, Germany. Numerous members of both families were murdered during the Holocaust. With the exception of an imprisonment of some of them in Theresienstadt concentration camp, no affiliations are known between these two families. Open
