[PW] ? A French Schindler ?

[Denise Montgomery]

Have you tried the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC? They have a research
library which has resources that you could only find in Europe.

(One of my patrons is a professor in our music dept who is doing research on
composers in the concentrations camps, and  there are many times that the
only U.S. holder of many German or Polish items that she has requested has
been their library!)
