Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
Richard Hermann Schmidt donated his collection of Hadassah Haskale material to the Center for Southwest Research in July 2022. He wanted the archive to retain her letters to promote her memory. The collection consists of Haskale - Moser letters cover the period from 1977-1988. The Haskale - Schmidt letters date between February 2000 - September 2001. They are deeply personal and show the two men Haskale shared her life with. The letters touch on their relationships, family, friends, daily life, Mideast peace efforts, the environment and a myriad of other topics. For example, included on the back side of one of Haskale’s letters to Schmidt of June 24, 2001 is information on recycling in Jerusalem.
Also present are Haskale’s English language translations of several Hebrew language works of other poets. Included is her poem for Schmidt. After her death he wrote an account of their time together and a touching poem of his love for her. Haskale also sent Schmidt a number of newspaper articles with her letters to him from Israel. There are also twelve color photographs of Haskale and Schmidt in Taos or Jerusalem. CSWR made copies of the photographs and returned the originals to Schmidt. The collection is an interesting window on the lives of an international couple, with views of Taos and Israel.
