Hi Naomi, Hi Fred,

I have gained some experience with difficult handwriting in the last years and although not an expert in deciphering, I am happy to give it a try also.

Kind regards,

Franziska

No idea if I'm capable - but I'm willing to give it a try! 
Read excerpts of the diary of my grandfather, although they were mostly small but decipherable...

If you'd like me to have a look at them please send the attachments to the email-address below.

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
