Today we have a copy of a telegram sent from Paul Zerzawy to Vitali regarding the San Francisco relatives’ attempts to help him and Helene leave Vienna and come to San Francisco. Things are looking hopeful.

Over the past few weeks we have seen letters from Helene asking for financial assistance as well as a March 25 letter from Paul Zerzawy to Erwin Fulda regarding such assistance.

We have seen documents from 1945-1946 in Istanbul regarding the Joint’s work to help Helene. From the telegram we see that the family was working with the Joint as far back as 1941 to help the relatives get to America.
