We, former concentration camp prisoners and eyewitnesses of the Shoah, have devoted all our lives to the mission of keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive. Today, as our mission is coming to an end, we understand better than anyone else that our whole work and toil might be in vain if we do not succeed in bequeathing the material evidence of this terrible crime to future generations. The Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp remains the most important of these testimonies: once a place of suffering and death for hundreds of thousands of Jews, Poles, Roma, Sinti and people from all over Europe, today it is a memorial site visited by millions of people from around the world.

  • John William Studer, KIA During Marine Assault of South Pacific
    Little Billy Introduction In World War II over 2,000 Baker County men and women served in the armed forces, almost nine percent of the county’s 17,000 residents. The Veterans War Memorial on the grounds of Baker County Courthouse lists in bronze the names of eighty-eight Baker County WWII servicemen who died during the war, seventy of them killed in action. Those seventy men’s names are also among names inscribed in granite on the Oregon WW II Memorial dedicated on Veteran’s Day 2012 on the grounds of the Oregon State Capitol (www.oregonwwiimemorial.com). Among the names on both memorials is that of Baker City native John William Studer, who joined the Marines right after Pearl Harbor. He volunteered for and was chosen to serve in an elite commando unit called Carlson’s Raiders. Studer, known at home as “Bill” or “Billy,” was killed November 1, 1943, during the D-Day assault of Bougainville Island in the South Pacific. This is his story. His war experiences are revealed in Bill’s letters and in the memories of his comrades in arms and his friends at home. Studer’s Family and Early Years Paul, Bill, Edith (Grover’s second wife), and Grover (father of Paul and Bill) John William “Bill” Studer was born in Baker, Oregon, on September 18, 1920, to Grover C. Studer (1892-1956) and Edith Golden Weitz Studer (1891-1931). A newspaper item announced his birth: “Mr. and Mrs. Grover Studer are the parents of an eight pound boy born this morning at their home on Cedar Street.

    GUIDE TO THE ARCHIVAL RECORD GROUPS AND COLLECTIONS Jerusalem, July 2003 The contents of this Guide, and other information on the Central Zionist Archives, may be found on Internet at the following address: http://www.zionistarchives.org.il/ The e-mail address of the Archives is: [email protected] 2 Introduction This edition of the Guide to the Archival Record Groups and Collections held at the Central Zionist Archives has once again been expanded. It includes new acquisitions of material, which have been received recently at the CZA. In addition, a new section has been added, the Maps and Plans Section. Some of the collections that make up this section did appear in the previous Guide, but did not make up a separate section. The decision to collect the various collections in one section reflects the large amount of maps and plans that have been acquired in the last two years and the advancements made in this sphere at the CZA. Similarly, general information about two additional collections has been added in the Guide, the Collection of Announcements and the Collection of Badges. Explanation of the symbols, abbreviations and the structure of the Guide: Dates appearing alongside the record groups names, signify: - with regard to institutional archives: the period in which the material that is stored in the CZA was created. - with regard to personal archives: the birth and death dates of the person. Dates have not been given for living people. The numbers in the right-hand margin signify the amount of material comprising the record group, in running meters of shelf space (one running meter includes six boxes of archival material).
