United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives Finding Aid

RG-10 Small Collections

Re-processed in Aug. 22, 2012 RG-10.156 1998.A.0079 Title: Edith Hahn Collection, 1915-1997 (bulk 1941-1942) Extent: 1 boxes (20 folders; 465 documents); 25 microfiche. Provenance: Edith Hahn-Beer wrote the majority of the letters and postcards to Joseph (Pepi) Rosenfeld. Rosenfeld kept the letters and postcards until Edith and her husband, Fred Beer, retrieved them in the late 1950s. Over the years, she added correspondence from her mother, Klothilde Hahn, and others during World War II and several identification documents and photographs. She added other materials relating to post-war experiences and her book, "Ich Will Leben!", in the 1990s. Dalk Feith, former United States Holocaust Memorial Council member, and Drew Lewis, former United States Transportation Secretary, purchased Hahn's collection during a Sotheby's auction on Dec. 5, 1997 and donated it to the USHMM in 1998.

Biographic/Historical Note: Edith Hahn-Beer (b. Edith Hahn, January 24, 1914, Vienna, Austria) is a survivor of Nazi labor camps in Germany during from 1941 to 1942. Until the Anschluß in 1938, she was a student of law at the University of Vienna. She was forced to discontinue her studies and, in 1939, was forced to move into the Jewish ghetto in Vienna along with their mother, Klothilde Hahn. In April 1941 Edith was forced into a labor camp at a farm in Osterburg, Germany, where she performed agricultural labor. In October 1941, she and other women from the farm camp were taken to a paper carton factory in Aschersleben, Germany, near Leipzig. During her time in these camps, she managed to maintain a steady correspondence with a former law school friend, Joseph "Pepi" Rosenfeld of Vienna. There are some 290 pieces of correspondence in the collection between Edith and Pepi that chronicle her experiences in the camps and his support and encouragement for her. In 1942, the Nazis ordered Edith to report for relocation, but she decided to escape deportation by going underground. She sought the aid of a non-Jewish friend, Christine Margarethe Denner. Denner applied for and received duplicate identification papers for herself for Edith to use while posing as a Christian. Living under her new identity, Edith settled in Munich, Germany, where she worked as a seamstress and nurse. In August 1942 Edith met and fell in love with Werner Vetter, a Nazi. After his divorce from his first wife, Vetter and Edith married in 1943. Their daughter, Angelika Maria (Angela), was born on April 9, 1944. As World War II turned against Germany, Vetter was drafted and soon captured by the Russians and taken to Siberia as a prisoner of war. Edith fled with her infant daughter to the German countryside. After the war, Edith and Werner divorce and he returned to

In 1957, Edith married fellow Viennese refugee, Fred Beer. They lived near London until Beer's death in 1984.
