Father (1889–1980) of Jewish World War II diarist Anne Frank, and the only member of his family to survive the concentration camps. TLS in German, one page both sides, 6 x 8.25, May 15, 1959. In part (translated): “Thank you very much for your kind letter dated the 8th of this month. I was not aware that this piece no longer is on the stage. However, if at a future date it should get on the program again, a special performance for the benefit of the Anne Frank Foundation perhaps would be a nice gesture. I would be ever so grateful if you could talk to the producer / director about that idea, should the opportunity present itself. In my opinion it would perhaps be best not to embark on a big scale campaign for the Foundation just yet, meaning not to approach individuals at this time…Something else I need to mention. The publisher for whom you are translating the Schnabel book wrote to me regarding the edition of Anne’s Fairy Tales that was just published in Italy…Perhaps you would be so kind to let him know that in principle I am agreeable to his proposal and that I am holding the rights to Anne’s Fairy Tales. The Fairy Tales published so far in Italy are only the ones that were already released in Holland year ago. A new edition containing more fairy tales and essays by Anne is currently in the pipeline for Holland and other countries as well.” In fine condition, with two punch holes to left edge and a couple spots of trivial toning.
