Subject : The German grocery store Luis H.Pillat in Prag XII, Schwerinstrasse 63. Please allow me to address you in my Notla ge, because you know me from the time of the Karlovy Vary migratory bird. Since October 194o, I took over a former Jewish food business in Prague, Schwerinstrasse 63, and tried to look after especially the Germans living in this district and I could also be satisfied with the success.I was drafted into active military service in Feber 1942 and unfortunately had to go in June 1942 when I was suffering from chronic hip inflammation. from France to Prague, find that in my absence the business had come completely here. There were large debts and there were missing large quantities of goods subject to the mark; I was therefore obliged to report them to the competent authorities. The findings on the basis of my complaint then also resulted in quite considerable misrepresentations; since I had remained the owner of the business, I was held responsible for the conditions in no business; the president of the state used a trust, I could not enter the business any more and the income from my business was withdrawn.Now I am dependent on my Wehrsold as a top shooter, from which I can not even pay my apartment. I don't know.
