Telegram from Max Bredig (1902-1977) to the American Consul in Marseille, France informing the consul that Marianne, Paul, and Viktor Homburger have tickets for the S.S. Nyassa and are in need of passports. The Nyassa, a Portuguese ship, only allowed Jewish passengers if they could provide visas stating their intentions not to travel to Portugal. Portugal was not accepting Jewish refugees, but they did allow their ships to transport them to other locations.
