Overview
- Description
- Letters written between 1938 and 1941 by members of the Gittler family of Breslau, Germany. The majority of the letters were written by Wilhelm and Gertrud Gittler and their son, Franz Gittler, and were sent to Ilse Gittler Muller (daughter of Wilhelm and Gertrud), who, with her husband Hans (later changed to Harold), had immigrated to the United States in 1938. The letters describe family matters and immigration attempts. Franz Gittler was sent to England on a Kindertransport and survived the war, but Wilhelm and Gertrud Gittler perished in the Holocaust.
