1Title:  Goldenberg World War II Papers and Photographs     
 Creator:  Goldenberg, Helen 
 Dates:  1944-1968 
 Abstract:  Helen H. Goldenberg (b. 1921) was a resident of Cleveland, Ohio, who enlisted in the United States Army in May 1944, was trained at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and served as a clerk/typist in the Women's Air Transport Command in Europe, December 1944 to April 1946. Her name was Helen Horovitz, but she changed her name to Helen Horton when she experienced anti-Semitic discrimination. She married David Goldenberg in 1947. The collection consists of newspaper clippings, pamphlets, a scrapbook, and photographs. The collection documents Helen Goldenberg's service in World War II, including military life at Fort Des Moines, and activities with the Air Transport Command, where she arranged for transport of injured personnel. The materials include a booklet relating to the WACS at Fort Des Moines and individual and group photographs of persons serving there in 1944. There also are portraits and views relating to the Women's Air Transport Command, and a family history relating to the Medalie family, 1967-1968.
