Red scrapbook, 1965 - 1974

The items in the collection reflect Landwirth’s wide-ranging activities as a businessman, hotelier, and philanthropist. Some of the family photographs and photographs taken with friends reveal his affectionate relationships with loved ones. The folder titles, such as publications relating to the space program, Holocaust and memory, philanthropy, speeches and addresses in box I, reflect his main activities. There is also a folder covering his hotelier business. The Holocaust and memory folder houses his reparation claims documentation and flyers of Holocaust remembrance events as well. In addition to the photographs held in a separate folder in this box (of special note are photographs of Astronaut John Glenn), additional, larger photographs removed from their original frames are housed in box II. The large scrapbook in box III, the albums and scrapbooks housed in boxes IV and V and the materials in the oversize folder held in box II reflect the fact that Landwirth and his family diligently documented his work and its reception. Two boxes hold the various awards and honors Landwirth was given throughout the years.

Attached to the folders in box I is W. Halamandaris’s Profiles in caring: the most caring people in America, which features Henri Landwirth and the DVD Gift of Life in America.
