World War I Correspondence

1 folder

This folder includes the correspondence of Louis J. Frank with Beth Israel Hospital medical staff serving in World War I. Correspondence is mainly sent from France and Germany.

Topics include discussion on daily life of those serving, travel throughout Europe, practicing medicine during and after battle, and reactions to Armistice.

One major thread of correspondence includes a request from Dr. Joseph Horowitz, who, stationed in Germany with little to do after the Armistice, asks Louis J. Frank to coordinate with Congressman Isaac Siegel to help him return to work at Beth Israel Hospital.
