<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4942999, member: 110350&quot;]I took a look at his section of anti-Semitic materials, and didn&#039;t see anything in it that I think is inappropriate to sell. I still don&#039;t get why anyone who isn&#039;t anti-Semitic themselves would want to buy and own that kind of thing, other than for the purpose of donating it to a library or archive.&nbsp; The kind of thing I have falls in an entirely different category, like this excerpt from the signature page of a letter my great-grandmother sent from the Vichy-run concentration camp she was in (Camp de Gurs) in mid-1941, signed &quot;Mama&quot; and giving her mailing address. Not that most mail, even to the then-neutral USA, got through.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1188251[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Or this envelope enclosing a later letter she wrote from a different camp (she did not survive the war):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1188252[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1188253[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Or my mother&#039;s Heimatschein from the Berlin police dated May 1939:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1188258[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I see or hear about this sort of thing being put up for sale on Ebay every now and then, and feel sad to think that it&#039;s going to end up with someone that has no personal connection to it instead of an appropriate archive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
