Max Bredig (1902-1977) writes to the American Consul General regarding his recent affidavit for his sister, Marianne (1903-1986), and her husband, Viktor Homburger (1888-1968). In the letter, he explains how close he is to his sister and how he would be happy to support her and her family when they come to the United States. He adds that their father, Georg Bredig (1868-1944), recently emigrated and wants nothing more than to be reunited with his family.
