Max Bredig (1902-1977) writes a note to himself regarding the U.S. State Department's procedure on applying for a new American visa. He forwarded this information to Ilse Wolfsberg, the fiancé of his former colleague, the patent specialist Fritz Hochwald (1897-1968). Hochwald was interned in the Mirando de Ebro concentration camp in Spain and eventually immigrated to the U.S.A with Max Bredig's help.
