English Translation

35 In the course of the year l942, on behalf of the Central Office, I made estimates of the value of art objects of all kinds in the camps of the central office in Langegasse and on the other hand, after which I had already been appointed as a treasurer of Jewish art possession by the Ministry of Finance since lg4o. On 1 February l943, the bassier's certificate issued to me on a monthly basis was no longer renewed,and I no longer had any further work of treasure.I suspect that Arch.Josef Eichhorn,who arrived at the store shortly before lFebruary éinmal and encouraged my estimates and my expertise to use his influence to eliminate me,either because he wanted to front-end the wares or buy art objects, whose too cheap acquisition prevented him from the height of my estimate. The estimates made since 1 October 19942 I am not able to conclude and submit my invoice defir,because despite repeated requests,the central office does not allow me to conclude or sign the estimation lists,yes to my various letters at all. I would ask that the Central Office for the settlement of the Jewish question be asked to give me the opportunity to conclude the estimation lists so that I can make my final statement.In addition, I ask for a statement that I was not allowed to continue with my estimators, after which Arch.Eichhorn is no longer eligible for such works, which, in my opinion, would not have fulfilled the conditions for this.
