X IV NS Dear Mr. Staatsmipister. 10 DEC 1943 I was told that you would never receive, and that it would be foolish for me to turn to you if I nevertheless dare, fully recognizing that your position and the enormous burden of work and responsibility that you bear, Mr. Minister of State, also do not allow every little thing to happen, I would venture to do so because both from your re- and from the articles you have written in your beautiful newspaper; Bohemia and Moravia know how deeply everything is happening in this room, you are also humanly interested and prematurely interested, and you do not despise the little thing either, for the sake of the great, I turn to You to ask Mr. State Minister for you to help a person, perhaps to save a human life. In our serious time, with the many, many victims brought daily by the front and home, I know, Mr. Minister of State, that the life of the individual can no longer be so important that it is a nothingness in the whole big event. And yet life in such an individual in 1943 means so much for the people who lie to him- B.d.p.9136 $\6-5c/43
