- Internationale Freundschaftsheim [International Friendship House] (CDG-B Germany)
- Wilhelm Mensching (CDG-B Germany)
Internationale Freundschaftsheim (CDG-B) had one of its main bases of support, particularly financial, in the United States. This collection of records came to the Peace Collection via Roger Scattergood, a Philadelphian who held various offices on the American Committee, and its contents are a thorough representation of the correspondence, minutes, finances, tax exemption struggles, history, constitution, and by-laws of the American group.
Of particular interest in this collection, is the American Committee's reaction to the internal struggles of the German organization at Buckeburg during 1963 when a sort of schism occurred between the founder and the then current administrators of Friendship House.
In order to get a complete picture of the workings of both the American Committee and "Friendship House," it is necessary to do an overview of the correspondences of both the CDG-A and Internationale Freundschaftsheim (CDG-B Germany).
