The bulk of the scrapbooks falls between the years 1950 and 1990. The articles and
clippings that comprise the scrapbooks document Weil's public speeches, appearances, and
writings, focusing on his administrative accomplishments and research at UWM, as well as his
prominent role in Milwaukee's Jewish community. One scrapbook documents Weil's trip to
Germany to help establish a school in Schuldorf. The collection has a letter and documents
relating to his imprisonment at the Buchenwald Concentration Camp and documents that track
his arrival to Milwaukee.
The bulk of the 2022-012 accession comprises correspondence between family in German and
correspondence and other records meant to facilitate immigration of Weil's family to the US
from 1939-1943. The records include previous school records, financial records, affidavits,
and other materials. There are also documents relating to his imprisonment and his release
from Buchenwald concentration camp but none of them describe the conditions of Buchenwald or
other concentration camps.
