biographical history: Franz Szell, an exiled Hungarian journalist apparently resident in Tilsit, Lithuania, and the author of this material, spent more than a year in the archives in Latvia and Estonia researching Alfred Rosenberg's family history with a view to publishing the open letter (936/1).
related material: Another version of the open letter is held at the Berlin Document Centre.
scope and content: The letter seeks to demonstrate the racially mixed background of one of the Nazis most virulent exponents of Nazi racial ideology. The collection also includes copies (in several languages) of a letter addressed to Goering, Göbbels and von Neurath, amongst others, containing essentially the same information as in the open letter (936/2). The last letter is addressed to the Justice Minister, Trygre Lie, Oslo, and in addition to the information contained in the above, contains details of the author's own experiences.
