Correspondence with Lichtenstein, Erwin
16 letters
The correspondence centres on three issues: published and unpublished material on the Jewry of Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland); the submission of an article on the persecution of Jews from Danzig in the Nazi era and the efforts to publish it in the Library’s Bulletin or the German learned journal Vierteljahreshefte für Zeitgeschichte; and details regarding two restitution cases Lichtenstein was working on in Germany. The latter concerned the failed emigration of Jews from Danzig to Palestine and their internment on Mauritius by the British authorities.
