April 2021: Brad Lephew WWII Collection uploaded to the South Carolina Digital Library

The Brad Lephew WWII Collection is comprised of documentation artifacts that relate to the Nazi regime, and the impact on those people that embraced it as well as the victims of it.  This documentation, discovered and collected from around the world by Mr. Lephew, includes various materials such as oppressive propaganda and publications, legal documents used to seize personal property, identity documents, voting records and ballots, and items that show motivational tactics of the Nazi regime.  Materials that represent the victims of Nazi oppression include hand written letters to home by inmates of concentration, death, and forced labor camps, and other documents related to that period in time.  These documents have been translated from the original German by students in Dr. Alex Lorenz's German Translation course, and each student received a scholarship through the Dell Scholars Program for their work on this project.  You may view the collection HERE.
