Two Letters Sent by Holocaust Survivors to the Secretary-General of the United Nations with an Appeal to Immigrate to Palestine, 1947
Two letters sent by Holocaust survivors, displaced persons, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations Trygve Lie. Germany, April-May 1947. English.
Two mimeographed letters, of identical content, which were sent by Holocaust survivors in DP camps in the American Zone of Germany. At the beginning of the letter, which is addressed in advance to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, there is space for filling-in the personal details – the survivor's name and the camp he is staying in. In the letter, the survivors request that the UN examine the question of Palestine and enable them to immigrate to Palestine.
Enclosed are the original envelopes in which the letters were sent, addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and stamped with postmarks from Munich, May 1947, and from Kassel, April 1947.
[2] leaves, 28 cm. Good condition. Fold lines.
