Reason: I worked as a commercial employee at J.A.Kluge in Oberaltstadt, Sudetengau from 1 July 1929 to 15.0ktober 1938. In 1929 I was employed by the company mentioned with a monthly salary of RM 30.-, which increased to RM 120.- monthly until 1937, in which I married. So I was unable to make a financial reserve. My wife comes from a poor family, the father is a locomotive heater, the mother tailor, so that my wife could get only 1 living room kitchen and 1 bedroom with furniture, since besides her there was still 1 boy who studied, therefore cost a lot of money. At the end of 1938 I entered the full-time services of the 4 . If since that time my income also increased, on the other hand, the cost of living increased considerably, moreover, I was transferred once, so that I had to move over, therefore I could not save much during this time. Since the end of September 1939 I live with my family / wife and two children at the age of 3 1/4 years and 1 1/2 years / in Brno. I have a two-room apartment here, of which serves ./. St. S.J-85
