for Simon Sonntag
Mogilow, December 12
Dearest Ella,
I ask you, if you love God, to go to Simon immediately and ask him to be so good as to go to Ionescu. Get him to sell the silver, machines, silk sheets or anything else and send me 30 thousand because we’re desperate. The children are ill, you wouldn’t recognize Anne. I’m working hard breaking stones. Perhaps Simon could go to Gelb and Badler, they should do everything for me
and send us something. God willing, I’ll repay everyone for everything. We’ve come here with nothing. There’s much to tell, but I’m incapable of writing. I’m writing this letter with bloody hands, so I ask you to do everything you can and to help Simon as well. Every day and every hour matters. We’re desperate and need food, if possible. Otherwise all my love, Brücky
Dear Simon, I have written three postmarked cards, as well as a detailed letter to help you to understand our terrible situation better. Your loving Jacob Brücky
Dear Simon, I mean it, we’re desperate,
Dear Simon, I beg you, I need 2 hundred for Ossy, he’s got nothing left.
Ella Fischer
Chernivtsi
Send everything to Poldy’s address. That is the best thing, we’re not far off. I myself am sharing a room
