Statemin. Prague Prague, 29 September 1943 Mr. Reichsminister Dr. G &eb b e 1 s Berlin. Very venerable Mr. Imperial Minister! Professor Heinrich Hönich, the head of the higher education institution for fine arts in Prague, completed his 7o. year on 5 October. In recognition of his merits as a zaphi- dez d d d p ded, I have beaten ve to lend him the Goethe Medal for Art and Knowledge. My special section Cultural Policy submitted the application with the necessary documents to the Reich Ministry of Education and Propaganda on 20 April 1983. w.H A decision has not been taken so far. Because of the great cultural political significance of the Palles with regard to the Czech culture facing it, I would be particularly grateful if you would make an effort to ensure that the award of the Goethe Medal is carried out in time for your birthday and if you personally remember ush in a telegram on 5 October of the artist. Heil Hitler! t h e d in Dogang f303 F 1
