Large collection of documents, from the estate of Isaac Stone, head of the Berlin Documents Center and U.S. foreign service office, [1940s].
Isaac A. Stone was born in Estonia in 1907 and immigrated with his parents to Boston as a young boy. In 1935, he earned a PhD in history from Harvard University. During the years following World War II, Stone served in the US Foreign Service and was in charge of the Berlin Documents Center established in Berlin for the purpose of gathering all documents from the time of the Nazi rule, needed by the prosecution team of the Nuremburg Trials to prepare the statement of claim.
From the mid-1940s, at the time the Nuremburg Trials were taking place, Stone worked as part of the team of Judge Robert H. Jackson, US Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court and chief United States prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trial (Jackson awarded him a special citation for his services). At that time, Stone worked independently to collect food and clothing for the Holocaust survivors in the DP camps in Germany and toiled to locate the relatives of the camp inmates in the US. In light of these operations, Stone was called the "Tzaddik (righteous one) of Nuremberg". [this name was used in NBC’s “Eternal Light” program broadcast, March 23, 1947].
After he retired from his service for the U.S. foreign office, he served as professor of history at several US universities. Ascended to Israel in 1970 and died in Jerusalem four years later.
The documents in this collection have been issued by the Office of U.S. Chief of Council and by the International Military Tribunal for use by the large prosecuting team (46 attorneys) of the Nuremberg trials and for internal court use.
The material is composed of English translations of documents from the time of the Nazi government used for preparing the statements of claim and the sentences; reports, protocols and memorandums distributed among the prosecutors; official documents connected to the trial (calling witnesses to the trial, requests for documents, biographical lists etc.); intermediate reports and temporary sentences, etc. The collection also includes hundreds of copies of documents from the time of the Nazi regime, used by the prosecution.
Below are some of the documents in the collection:

Collection of original caricatures and sketches by Dosh, 1959-1962.
Dosh is the pseudonym of Kariel Gardosh (1921-2000). Born in Budapest by the name of Karl Gardosh (originally: Goldberger) where he finished high school, and later began academic studies in the University of Szeged. When World War II broke out, he was sent to a labor camp. After the war, after returning to Budapest, he discovered that his parents and most of his family had perished in the Holocaust. At the beginning of 1946, left Hungary for Paris where he studied literature at the Sorbonne. In 1948, Gardosh ascended to Eretz Israel, changed his name to Kariel, joined the Lechi and drew caricatures for its journal, HaMa'as. Due to his lack of fluency in the Hebrew language, he chose to join the Hebrew media as a caricaturist. After the murder of Folke Bernadotte, Gardosh was arrested and after his release, he worked as the graphic editor of the magazine HaOlam HaZe. (In 1953, he was injured when a bomb was thrown at the magazine headquarters). That same year, he joined the Ma'ariv staff and published a daily political caricature in the newspaper for many years. Eventually, he began to write articles, stories and skits, and at the same time wrote for the Hungarian language newspaper Új Kelet (The New East). In 1956, Dosh first created the figure of Israelik, which became so very popular representing the State of Israel and the typical Israeli Tzabar. Later, the name was shortened to Srulik.
This collection includes the following items:
* 110 caricatures for newspapers from 1960-1962. They were published in the Ma'ariv newspaper and in the Hungarian language Israeli newspaper Új Kelet. These caricatures are final versions (ink on paper), with printing instructions. The titles are usually handwritten in pencil. Sometimes, a text in Hungarian is pasted on the Hebrew text for publication in Új Kelet after its publication in Ma'ariv. Srulik appears in most of the caricatures. The caricatures deal with a variety of political, state and social topics on the agenda at the 1960s. They include the relations with the USSR, the Algerian Jews, inflation, leaving Israel for countries abroad (yerida), Haifa port workers' strike, the abduction of Yossele Schuchmacher, the second Geneva Convention etc. All were drawn on regular paper leaves, besides seven caricatures, which were drawn on heavy Bristol paper (three are especially large – 25X70 cm. 35X49 cm. 35X40 cm.).
