Consists of letters, written between 1940 and 1941, by Hermann Franck of Hamburg, Germany, to his children. In the letters, he talks about life in Germany, the move to a Jewish homeshare in Hamburg, immigration issues, and his increasing fear that he would not be reunited with his children, who had been able to emigrate. On July 19, 1942, Hermann Franck and his wife, Martha, were deported to Theresienstadt, where Hermann died on January 10, 1943. Martha perished in Auschwitz.
