Thanks, Naomi. I’m delighted both with the outcome for Fred Weil, as well as with the sheer collegiality that the request evinced. Up with that sort of thing!

Dear All

 

I am writing again to send warmest thanks to the following, who agreed to look at this difficult text: Rachel, Iman, Anja, Brigitte, Klaus, Scott (who set up a googledoc: great idea!), Christiane, Jean, Kai, Dorothea, David, Alexander – and most especially to Dan Wilson, who has managed to decipher most of it and has now sent his version to Fred Weil, who has asked me to convey his gratitude and close the ‘search’.

 

Thank you!

Naomi

 

 

 

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
