With only a few exceptions, all of these documents and letters have been published in Never Forget: My Family’s Flight from Nazi Terror by Tom Singer (Missouri History Museum Library call number: St.L./B/Si617n). The book recounts the Singers’ flight to America and their time New York City before coming to St. Louis and provides some genealogy for the Stern and Singer families. The collection consists of correspondence and personal documents concerning Rudolph Singer’s life in Germany and his family’s escape from Nazi Germany. The collection is arranged into two small series: the Rudolf Singer Series, 1918-1944 and the Wallace Rindskopf Series, 1938-c.1945. Both series are arranged in chronological order. The Rudolph Singer Series, 1918-1944 consists of official documents and identification cards belonging to Rudolph, Elsbeth, and Thomas Singer along with small photographs of Tom Singer at age 2. The earliest document is a military pass from Rudolph’s service in the German Army during World War I and after, 1918-1920. There is a certificate from General von Hindenberg honoring Rudolph’s military service. Also present are Rudolph’s driver’s license, work accord, national identity card, and membership card along with Certificates of Origin and U.S. Certificates of Naturalization for both Rudolph and Elsbeth. Elsbeth saved the List of Passengers on the ship that brought them to New York City, the New Amsterdam. Note that the family’s German passports, dated 1935 and 1938, are all marked with a red “J” on the first page to designate their Jewish status. While still in Germany, Rudolph Singer used the spelling Rudolf, but changed to the Americanized spelling, Rudolph, when he arrived in this country. His wife’s name was changed from Elsbet to Elsbeth or Elizabeth. The descriptions in this inventory maintain the spellings used in each individual document. The Wallace Rindskopf Series, 1938-c.1945 consists mostly of letters and one photograph of Rindskopf and his wife, Bobbi. The letters relate to his efforts to get the Singer family to the United States in 1938 and 1939. Included is the first letter between Julius Stern and Wallace Rindskopf, dated 13 February 13 1938, in which Julius Stern asks for aid getting the Singer family out of Germany. Stern also wrote to Wallace’s brother, Alexander (Ally) Rindskopf and the brothers wrote to one another while trying to decide what action to take. Please note that the letters written by Rindskopf are carbon copies that he most likely retained for his own records. Rindskopf’s correspondents include: Flora Stern (Julius’ wife), Rudolf Singer, Cecilia Razovsky of the National Coordination Committee, Sara Dukore of the National Council of Jewish Women, Adolph Buell, Jacob H. Kravitz. There are several letters and a few telegrams between Rindskopf and Singer. The Singers had to obtain permission to travel in France. There is a letter dated 19 October 1938 from the Supreme Council of the Israeli Religious Community of Wurtemmberg to the French Consulate requesting assistance for the Singers’ passage through France to Rotterdam. The letters, particularly Rindskopf’s copies of his outgoing letters, provide details of the process that was necessary to get a Jewish family out of Nazi Germany in 1938.
