William Fraser collection

Consists of one bound memoir, untitled, by Bill Fraser, a soldier in the British Army who was captured at Anzio in February 1944. In June 1944, he and a group of British POWs, were deported to Auschwitz, where they worked in the IG Farben complex.

After a months-long march, he was liberated near Regensburg by the American Army. Includes a copy of a poem entitled "Memories of a Prisoner of War Camp," a World War I era holiday card, a copy of a letter sent to Bill Fraser (date unknown), a postcard sent by BIll Fraser from Stalag 7 on 16 May 1944, and a newspaper clipping regarding a Scottish POW named George Syme. Also includes twelve commercial slides of attractions in wartime Germany.
