Friends Indeed: The American Friends Service Committee Collection

In this episode of Curators Corner, librarian Ron Coleman shares the American Friends Service Committee Collection. The collection records the Committee’s work to help refugees fleeing Nazism. Ron is joined by Susan Warsinger, a Holocaust survivor who volunteers at the Museum and whose escape from Nazi-occupied Europe is documented in one of the collection’s over 20,000 files.
