Evgeniia Ginzburg and Antonina Axenova Collection

In 2015, the Evgeniia Ginzburg and Antonina Axenova Collection was opened to students and researchers in the Universityof Notre Dame, South Bend. The collection consists of several parts. The most important part revolves around Evgeniia Ginzburg (1904-1977), who spent 18 years in the Stalin GULAG and who chronicled those years in her memoir translated into English as: Journey into the Whirlwind and Within the Whirlwind. Another part of the collection revolves around Antonina Axenova, who was born in the Kolyma camps and who was adopted by Ginzburg in 1949.
