The articles, newspaper clippings and correspondence in the Friedrich Ernst Auhagen Collection were collected between 1939 and 1952 by Henry Pope, a prominent Republican and Chicago area businessman who was indicted in 1941 for failure to register as a German agent. Betty and Henry Pope frequently invited Dr. Auhagen into their home when he visited the area.
