| | Manuscript Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | Charles Simon Papers
| | | | Creator: | Simon, Charles | | | | Dates: | 1942-1947 | | | | Abstract: | Charles Simon (1915-2009) was a Cleveland, Ohio-area educator and language expert, as well as a veteran of World War II. Simon began his teaching career in 1938, but his career was put on hold when he enlisted in the Army in 1942. Stationed in England, France, and Germany during World War II, Simon used his extensive language skills as a member of the civilian censorship department. He used much of his leave time to assist survivors from concentration camps. During his time stationed in England, he became involved with the London Esperantist Club and became invested in the spread of Esperanto as an international auxiliary language. The collection consists of correspondence, newsletters, programs, and pamphlets. The correspondence is extensive and consists of letters to his father, Sigmund; his brother and sister-in-law, Edgar and Shirley; and his future wife, May Kagan. Approximately one fourth of the material is in Esperanto, and there is also a small amount of material in German and French. | | | | Call #: | MS 5142 | | | | Extent: | 0.60 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Esperantists -- Ohio -- Cleveland | Esperanto | Simmons family | Theater programs -- England | Theater programs -- France | United States.
