- 1943-Aug-11 (sent)
- 1944-Jan-21 (received)
Message from Alfred Schnell (1900-1944) and Eva Schnell (1913-1944) to Liselotte Zadek. In the early 1940s, Alfred and his wife Eva fled to The Hauge to escape the persecution of the Jewish people. In 1943, Germany invaded the Netherlands and the Schnells went into hiding. In their messages to Max Bredig, they use aliases including Arthur and Erna Dalem, Arthur and Ellen Escaper, and Alfred and Eva Kwik.
In this letter, the Schnells tell Zadek that they are living in a small village. While the message is dated August 11, 1943, it was not received until January 21, 1944.
