Richard Mandelik collection

Consists of letters to and from Richard (Rico) Mandelik, while he was imprisoned in the German auxiliary jail in Prague, Czechoslovakia from 1939-1940 and letters, on concentration camp stationery, from Sachsenhausen and Oranienburg from 1941-1942. Mr. Mandelik most likely perished in Oranienburg.
