Three years after the end of Second World War, on September 13, 1948,
Heinrich Alexander, a Berlin Jew who survived the war in emigration
wrote this letter to the head of Hamburg’s Jewish congregation. In
his brief letter he explained that he did not want to remain in Berlin
and asked Harry Goldstein, the head of the Hamburg congregation to
support his relocation to Hamburg. A couple of weeks later Goldstein
replied. In his letter Goldstein explained that because of the housing
shortage and the difficulties to receive a residence permit for
Hamburg he would not be able to help, and he asks Alexander to
reconsider his plan. Both short letters are held in the Hamburg State
Archive’s collection (regarding the Jewish community after 1945).
