"I Have to Write Everything Down": The Diaries of Selma and Chaim Engel (Curators' Corner #16)

I don't know what extent your museum wants to go to purchase Holocaust related documents, but I have seen many postcards posted from the various camps listed on e-bay. There was an entire prison uniform going for about $12,000, postcards and documents going for about $250. It's really sad actually and while I would like to have one of these documents, I'm not going to pay blood money for an item from someone that was probably tortured and murdered.
