Reichenberg-Rosenthal on 27,April 1944. Mithnaglatfe To the Lord 2.9. APR. 1944 STAATSMINISTER HERRMANN KARL F R A N K in P R A G. Signed party comrade Elly Karasek, Reichenberg - Rosenthal ,Lenbachgasse No. 7 asks the Minister of State of her sister Franziska Grigar, Captain in Gross - Wossek No. 5o7 to grant German citizenship. My sister wife Franziska G r i g a r , is German-Aryan descent which she can prove by ancestor passport up to the year l743. Our father was a finananzwach-Oberkommissär and Rit - ter des preus. red eagle order.Even then was my father and the then mayor of Friedland , owner , Schönrianer . My sister Franziska still married Augustin Ferdinand Grigar under Austria. My brother-in-law was Österr. active officer. When Austria collapsed he had two years no pension, only later he got it from the succeeding Czech state. My Schvager Augustin Grigar is of Czech nationality, but his German-friendly way of thinking and his thoroughly pure character can be confirmed both by my husband and me as a partymate as well as by the mayor of his last residence, Mr. Pg. Sc h o l z e in Neuland near Reichenberg. My sister, Mrs. Franziska Grigar, was already looking for German citizenship two years ago.When I was presented a year ago at the Landratsamte in Kolin in this Saehe I got the notice, the thing is before completion. It makes me the impression that my sister does not want to recognize the citizenship. Reasons for this are not before - h/0bb}-f\1S
