Correction:

The article “Author Unearths a Little-Known Family Treasure” in the Feb. 27 edition, imprecisely described Katie Lang’s discovery about her father, which was that he was Jewish. It also did not fully describe how he was able to immigrate; he had relatives who vouched to support him. Due to an editing error, Col. Robert S. Allen was inaccurately identified. He was Herman Lang’s superior officer at Gen. George Patton’s headquarters in Europe, not at Camp Ritchie, Md., where Lang also served
