The collection contains oral history documents related to German-American author Sonia Pressmann Fuentes (b. 1928), who fled to Antwerp, Belgium, with her family in 1933 to escape Nazi persecution due to their Polish Jewish heritage. Her family was set to be deported back to Germany: an order for deportation had already been served when the family escaped on the Red Star Line to the United States.
