Correspondence
Language of Material: English.
Scope and Contents
This correspondence series contains personal letters and emails with individuals and institutions for Crowe's research on
Oskar Schindler's biography. Some of the institutions include Bundesarchiv, Yad Vashem, Muzeum Gross-Rosen, and Museum Svitavy.
Crowe corresponded with several individuals, including Holocaust survivors, Dr. Moshe Bejski and Mietek Pemper to gain information
on Schindler and to arrange interviews. The series includes letters from Edith Schlegl, Schindler's daughter who was born
out of wedlock with Aurelie Schlegel. Of particular interest are the letters from Christian and Tina Staehr, which Crowe arranged
travel plans to visit the Staehr family at their home in Stuttgart, Germany. Christian Staehr is the son of Ami Staehr, who
became a friend of Schindler during the latter part of his life. In 1999, the Christian found Schindler's suitcase of papers
that Ami stored in the attic. The correspondence includes letters regarding arrangements for the visit, and a letter from
Staehr asking to remain in touch. The Staehrs sent photographs with the letter from Crowe's visit. This series is arranged
in alphabetical order.
