English Translation

Prague, 19 May 1942. Dear consul! On your evaluable letter, I would like to inform myself as follows: Already after your first letter was published, I researched in the "Hei-matgemeinde des Grögers" and found in his documents under "St a n d * single, whereupon it is to be concluded that Grögers was not married to my mother Klara Schranz.Also from a letter that my mother wrote to Grö Ger, it can be seen that Groger suspected my mother in Hienblick of paternity. I sent the original letter as a supplement to the Ministry of the Interior na to Berlin.In the first letter, which I own, my mother writes to Gröger * Later, we (probably) face all kinds of difficulties, because I am a foreigner and a national citizen and we have nothing left to trust in Deutsoland (perhaps in Munich) civil. Meanwhile, you register for Vienna, for example, (Fr.Paula) will be happy to do so, so that we will not be able to travel in Prague but in Vienna and Trento.Then you can pick me up in Vienna, and we will get married there and arrive in Prague already.A travel booklet,Prague,Munich-Trento-Milan-Venice-Trieste Vienna Prague is not too expensive, I think. Then you could pick me up, we left here (which is actually the right thing to do, trust quietly and drive home via Venice and Trieste." This letter was written by my mother on 19th of July in Trento. Now I allow myself to briefly describe my odyssey search for my mother. In the year l93l, on the deathbed, Mrs. Sofie Gröger confessed to me that I was not her daughter, but the daughter of Frl. Clara Schranz (teacher).She also handed me letters from my mother and told me that my mother died at my birth and that she and Mr. Gröger had raised me and spent me as their own child.Wieter couldn't tell me because she died.Mr. Grüger was dead since the Hahre l916 and so I could not find out from this page either.Icl wrote after Trento, however, no answer.Since the year l93l I researched my mother without results, unfortunately, until today. It was only after the creation of the Protectorate that I turned to the German authorities.In the former Czech Republic, I was very persecuted and was afraid to let my mother look for her by the Czech authorities, which my mother was a German.I myself was very unhappy married at that time, so I had no confidence in my husband. and Jews against me date back to 1937, where I happened to discover a gang that forged German zoliband rolls and state papers (I.G. Farben,Lufthansa and Krupp).I worked in conjunction with the German criminal police and the Prague police so that the gang was made harmless.From that time on I had no rest.In lg34 I learned Mr. Alexander Saibert,journalist.He is divorced and I also live together for 9 years, happy and satisfied.We have 2 children ( 7 years and 3 1/2 years old).However, because I don't have my daddy in order, we can't get married.I was registered as a Gröger in the Matrician, but only after 6 years.The Grö-ger married in Prague in March l9o4 stand - single) and I am already in the May Igo4 registered as born, where Mrs. Gröger always claimed that she had learned to know Grögers 2 months before the wedding.That would therefore be in February.
