Tx/ht that my dearly beloved sister Mrs. Stefanie Deutschländer lost her life during the terror attack on the 20th of May. The funeral takes place Friday. inister the 24th of March from the morgue. Leopoldine Kollesch. 12th of July 1944 To 2 Mr. Reichsminister Karl Hermann Fr a n k , in P r ag . A sincere request is based on my polite request, whose justification I allow myself to establish in the following. I,Stefanie Deutschländer,born Worell,on the 25th of Jan. l877 in Rohatetz/Bezirk Göding/Mähren born,German and Aryan descent,married on the 8th of Mar. l899 in Trieste,Fritz Deutschländer who had been working at the German,Evangèlische Schule,-the oldest,German school in Trieste since l888, who later became its head and has done German cultural work until the collapse of the Eastern Monarchy lgl8,so full 30 years there. At that time, our German school was officially closed by the Italian state,2 Jaire was held by the military and the reopening was only permitted under the conditions that the school could only have Italian language of instruction from then on and that all teachers must have Italian nationality, which is why we also had to acquire it, according to the attached certificate of the Kuratorium of the Protestant community in Trieste. Curator Taschner, who is currently the local group leader of the NSDAP, has kindly made it available to me. During the break-up of l9l8 our pension fund was also founded.The documents he made were almost devalued to the Günze-bis on a small remainder. Under these changed circumstances my husband directed our once German school as an Italian educational institution until his death, March 29, 193l. From this time I refer from the Protestant community to their means a modest pension of 375 Liren = monthly,-more the congregation is not able to give. 2 19/44 SLA
