Abstract:

Eugene Reichbach, a lawyer and playwright was born December 22, 1913, in Bucharest, Romania, to Sylla Reichbach and Elise Bruck. He served as a non-governmental organization delegate to the United Nations from 1957 to 1963, representing the Hebrew and Christian Forum Association and the American Board of Missions to the Jews, Inc. He wrote dramas and comedies for the theater sometimes using the pseudonyms Eugen Reichbach or Eugene Doron. Reichbach died in Philadelphia on September 19, 1977.

The collection consists of three typescript plays: "The Godless God," "The Melting Pot," and "The Rosebush in the Desert," written under the moniker Eugen Reichbach; reports and correspondence related to Reichbach's tenure as a non-governmental organization delegate to the UN; and diplomas, immigration, and vital records for Reichbach and his wife, Grete. Some of the correspondence, diplomas, immigration, and vital records are in French, German, Romanian, and Hebrew.
