Sar.Obergefr.Franz Politzer. recres San.Staffel, Königgrätz Königglätz, 18.Jänner 1942 Büco des Siaatsfekretärs baa Fee pcotehtor in Bühmen und mähren. Eing. 20. JAN. 1942 Mr. State Secretary Karl Hermann Fr a n k , Prague. Forgive me, Mr. Secretary of State, if I bother you with a request today. I have been an independent bookseller in Iglau for 12 years and, like many other booksellers, I had a lot to suffer from the Czech re gime. Nevertheless, during this time I started to close a travel bookstore to my assortment bookstore, although I already lacked the right rooms at that time. I repeatedly tried it there and there, but without success. Since you, very venerable Secretary of State, can see that I can only need dry rooms as a bookshop, I ask you to let me rent the Jewish property in the suburb of Spitalvorstadt Nr.313 Rahm- hofgasse lo, owner Franziska Wolf, Benutzniesser Karl Bondi. I would like to mention that the house is very dry, and the same is only 5 minutes away from the city train, which is of great advantage for a travel bookshop. At the same time, I can tell you that I would not take away an apartment from anyone, if I were to relate, since the 6 rooms in question are all located on the ground floor and have always been storage rooms. I myself have been moving in for a long time and would be very grateful to Mr. Secretary of State for a message to my address.
