ОписаниеRed cross message service letter between Fritz Albera in Mauritius and his mother Rosa Abeles in Brno, sent 28 May 1941.
Adolf and Rosa Abeles lived in Brno, Czechoslovakia and had two sons, who both escaped. Bedrich Fritz Albera, was born 27 February 1904 in Brno. He changed his name from Abeles to Albera in 1933, at the suggestion of his mother since his business trading name was Albera. With worsening conditions in Czechoslovakia it was decided that Fritz should leave to find a new home and bring his family later. Fritz was attempting to get to Palestine to join his brother but was caught by the British and interned in Mauritius for 4 years. He was released when he was given the opportunity to join the South African Army.
Adolf died of natural causes, though with much suffering, on 22 August 1941. Rosa was deported to Terezin on 2 December 1941 and from there to Riga where she was murdered.
