United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives Finding Aid

RG-68 Israel

RG 68.002M Acc. 2001.74 Title: Nazi persecution of Jewish communities in Bohemia and Moravia. Extent: 58 microfilm reels Provenance: Yad Vashem Archive microfilm roll numbers JM 11664-11675, 11751-11796. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's International Programs Division exchanged the microfilm with the Yad Vashem Archives (YV) in Jerusalem, Israel. Documents originate from the Jewish Museum in Prague (JMP). In 1994 Yad Vashem signed an agreement with the JMP and selected JMP records for microfilming. The JMP prepared the documents for microfilming but microfilming was done by the Central State Archive in Prague in 1994-1995. On the film, titles appear in Czech and German before each file. In 1999-2000 the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum negotiated an agreement with the JMP that allowed YV to make copies of the JMP microfilms for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This agreement was signed early in 2001. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the microfilm in Aug. 2001. Restrictions on access: No restrictions on access. Restrictions on use: Per agreement with the Jewish Museum in Prague, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum will not reproduce rolls without written permission of the Jewish Museum in Prague. Each researcher using materials must sign a statement agreeing to abide by restrictions. Researchers must cite the Jewish Museum in Prague as the holder of the original documents. No more than 5 complete documents may be used in a published work by a researcher. See Agreement for exact wordings.
