The file contains three typewritten letters. The first is from March 1933, by Karl Jauch of a watch manufacturing company with the same name (Karl Jauch Uhrenfabrik), to Alex Margulies in London. He reassures him that German authorities in no way are harassing or abusing law-abiding Jewish citizens. He states that reprisals are directed at Communists and Socialists, and rightfully so. Jews have nothing to fear and he should not believe the foreign press. There might be some incidents on the street by hoodlums but they are reigned in by the authorities. He advises Mr. Margulies to bring his mother to London and offers to bring her along on his next visit. The second letter is addressed to Barnett H. Abrahams LTD., London by Armbruster & Böhringer, Pforzheim from March 31st, 1933. This letter is more formal and denies any danger to the"decen" Jewish population. It claims that only Jewish supporters of communists and socialists are being targeted, but that most of them managed to escape and are instigating anti-German feelings abroad. The third letter is from 1944 addressed to Dr. Wiener by Louis Oungre (general manager of the Jewish Colonization Association), reporting on the progress of agricultural colonization in Argentina.
