Jetzt ist Schavuos auch herum. Wie hast Du die
Feiertage verlebt? Gab es auch Käsekuchen? Hast Du die Sachen erhalten die ich bei Charlotte Liesel für Dich
mein Liebes bei gepakt hatte. Kannst Du das rote Kleid auch anziehen? Von liebe Susi hatte auch ein Brief es hat aber fransösisch geschrieben und kann ich es nicht verstehen. Aber Leo Lehman konnte es übersetzen. Morgen fährt er nun auch in ein Kinderheim und mit ihm die letzten jüdischen Kinder. Susichen hat auch eine Rechenaufgabe gemacht und ein Bildchen dazu gemalt. Die schönen Blumen von Dir halte ich alle mit
Viele herzliche Grüsse und schreibt uns bitte bald. Ja bitte Deine liebe Mutter sehe oft. liebe Charlotte.
Ich habe am 13. Dezember Geburtstag. Zu den Buchungen lasse es dir ändern. Du bist am 8.10 geboren und nicht am 8.9. Ich hatte mich geirrt.
Shavuot has now also passed. How did you spend the holidays? Did you get to have cheesecake? Did you receive the items that I packed for you, my Love, with the things for Charlotte Liesel? Does the red dress fit you, and can you wear it? I had a letter from dear Susie as well, though she wrote in French and I can’t understand it. However, Leo Lehman was able to translate it for me. Tomorrow, he, too, is leaving for a Children’s Home along with the other remaining Jewish children. Little Susie also wrote out an arithmetic exercise and painted a little picture to go along with it. The beautiful flowers from you I have kept all together with your letters. Here, too, lots of flowers are popping up everywhere. Sometimes I stop and pick a bunch of flowers on my way walking home from work. Aunt Flora also sent me a photograph from Eretz Israel1 of little Naftali, Uncle Siegfried’s young boy. He’s a fine, handsome lad. Grandma will be delighted with him. Stay healthy my good darling little Beate. Have you had any photographs taken of you? I would so enjoy getting a photo from you, and your dear papa certainly would, too. You’ve now been at Couret for over 6 months already. Please write to me again soon yourself.
Affectionate greetings and write us again soon. Yes, please I see your dear mother often. dear Charlotte.2
My birthday is on December 13. Have your booking record entries changed. You were born on October 8th, and not September 8th. I made an error.3
