“...With the polite request, to allow the two boys mentioned below to come here from Germany. They are both children of my niece. Their father does not earn a penny and the family must shortly vacate their home. It is important for them first and foremost to bring the two boys to safety and for them to learn a trade, perhaps here, for the purpose of emigrating onwards, as both have only just started apprenticeships.

In the hope that action can soon be taken as quickly as possible,

Respectfully yours

P.S. Hans has started to learn carpentry

Peter has started to learn bricklaying”
