Various Photocopies Dealing with Jean Clark and the Holocaust [sticky 1657 & 2077]

[This material is quite hectic and varied, but is rich with information. It was photocopied in June of 1994 from the Holocaust

Research Center, and is only moderately connected to the Red Cross. The First three pages are the handwritten notes of the

photocopier relating to the different dates and epicenters of the letters herein photocopied. The first letter appears to be from John Kerte’sz to Jean Clark, but the bulk are Jean Clark’s to her Parents in Salem Oregon. The dates range from February 6 – May 22, 1945. John Kerte’zs’ letter seems to be written from Budapest and in expectation of Jean’s arrival. Jean writes from London, Wales, France and Germany. Being that the letters are hand written and photocopied they are difficult to read. Jean might have been a Red Cross worker seeing as how some of the letters are written on Red Stationary and some of the letters mention the Red Cross. Also included are various articles and reports dealing with the Holocaust. It seems likely that Jean witnessed them first hand. One essay is entitled “Buchenwald Concentration Camp.” Another is from Time Magazine dealing with the 120^th Evacuation Hospital. Another is entitled “Flushless, Plushness, Blushness: The Army Latrine” and does not seem to pertain to the Holocaust. Another is entitled “120^th Evac. Hospital Makes the Headlines!” and is written by Larry Rue.]
