Title
Letter from Arthur and Erna Dalem (Alfred and Eva Schnell) to Max Bredig, June 24, 1944
Description
Message from Alfred Schnell (1900-1944) and Eva Schnell (1913-1944) to Max Albert Bredig (1902-1977). Alfred Schnell was a former colleague of Max Bredig. In the early 1940s, Alfred and his wife Eva fled to The Hauge to escape the persecution of the Jewish people. In 1943, Germany invaded the Netherlands and the Schnells went into hiding. In their messages to Max Bredig, they use aliases including Arthur and Erna Dalem, Arthur and Ellen Escaper, and Alfred and Eva Kwik. In this letter, the Schnells tell Bredig that they have received letters and are healthy and living with peasants. The Schells' mentions of health and recovery in their letters may be a cipher for conveying their safety or status in hiding. While the message is dated June 24, 1944, it was not received until March 22, 1945.
Date 1944-Jun-24 (sent), 1945-Mar-22 (received)
