Ref. Arnsberg in Westphalia

22nd November 1938

I am turning to you with the following case, as tragic as it is urgent, with the plea for help. It concerns my two nephews aged 16 and 12, who lived in A. until the days of the pogrom. The children’s father was arrested some weeks ago. During the most recent events the elder boy was also taken away – no one knows where -, the younger suffered mistreatment. The mother has been in hospital since the pogrom and Hans is staying with strangers. The home has been completely destroyed. The family with whom the boy is staying are going to emigrate in the near future.
