Hi, Everyone.

 

After few emails, I made this google doc

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bKMcDUqssth_bcyrvEtsWFVGzD0M6MityqdxX4rGJC4/edit?usp=sharing

 

Rachel and Naomi suggested sharing it with everyone.

 

Anyone with the link can edit.

 

When I hear from Naomi or Fred that it’s okay to link the images of the photograph and notes verso, I’ll do that.

 

Yay for collaboration!

 

Best,

Scott

Subject: Can anyone read rather difficult handwriting in German?

 

Dear All

 

Mindful that german-studies does not accept attachments, I am writing to all you knowledgeable people with a query from an acquaintance, Fred Weil. His mother was in Theresienstadt and while she was there she wrote a diary on the back of family photographs. He has sent me one by attachment – it contains ca 11 lines, written in pencil, but he has enhanced the contrast.

 

Unfortunately I’m afraid it is beyond my capabilities, as her handwriting is pretty difficult. If anyone enjoys a challenge and is good at deciphering, would you be willing to have a look?

 

I have copied Fred in, so if you are interested, could you reply-all?

 

Thanks and looking forward to a typically helpful german-studies response!

 

Naomi
