Otto M a d e r 4 10 Professor a.D. Mähr.Schönberg, m Jo Langemarckstraße l5 Eh2/37 Moravian Schönberg, on 29 December 1942 X Office of the Sian flagpuies belten Feo o.toc in Böhmon uis Mühren. To the Secretary of State Mr Karl Hermann Fr a n k Pra-g. They had the kindness to respond to my letter of 16 December l.J. The communication from your personal speaker gave us the feeling that we were not entirely left in the very incredible situation in which the court decisions had taken us.I feel obliged to thank you for this support alone. Unfortunately, the attitude of the mayor and the housing office remained severely negative.They declared that they could not exert any influence on a householder.Only an apartment in an old, darker house contaminated by vermin was offered to me, but only in order to avoid an unpleasant arrival.I had to reject it for health reasons. As the last escape I tried in my unusually difficult situation to obtain an apartment in the local settlement buildings of the "Reichsgesellschaft für Verwaltungs-Wohnungsbau, Wien" (Reich Society for Public Administration Housing Building, Vienna), or not one of the conditions according to which the forgiveness of the apartments took place. It is probably more difficult than my present apartment, only I have this and some other disadvantage as well as the risk of moving into a new building, which the doctor has expressly warned me to put my health at risk again, although or ill in the future. Take it. I attach to my letter a copy of a certificate issued by the Health Office on the nature of the replacement apartment offered to me by the landlord.It is probably unheard that such an apartment can be offered in court as a "appropriate" replacement apartment, and it is encouraging that judges in the Third Reich find it "reasonable" to obtain such an accommodation.I have communicated the case in a detailed presentation of the Führer's law firm. That, Mr. Secretary of State, I am referring to the X1-336b/42.
