The following biographical sketch, which was found among Ms. Affachiner's papers, describes her various activities. A matter not mentioned in it, but subsequently indicated in her archives, was the management in Israel, during the 1940’s, of an import-export company, on whose behalf she apparently traveled to the United States after World War II.
Most of Affachiner's material left to the CAHJP has been retained by the Archives and is listed on the following pages. The material was transferred to the CAHJP in October 1966 by Dr. P. Jacobi, executor of Ms. Affachiner's estate and Mr. Ezra Gorodetsky. In May 1968 the CAHJP also received the appointment books of Ms. Affachiner, which were added as appendix to the list. The collection was arranged by Hadassah Kellman in January 1968.
