Creator Mr. A. R. Vickers (author)
DescriptionLetter (a) and envelope (b) original typed from A. R. Vickers, the Editor of The "Telegraph" to Bernard Kezelman informing the latter that his request to send a booklet "Nowhere to Lay their Heads" to the correspondant "Traveller" has been done.
The letter written by Bernard was the property of his wife - Dasia Kezelma. In this letter Bernard recently returned from the service in the AIF. In this letter Bernard is expressing his indignation at the Anti-Semitic letter in The Telegraph. This letter is significant as it is a part of Australian Jewish history and is a result of anti-semitism in Australia. The indignation shown in Bernard's letter is understandable - having fought against the Nazis, he is offended by the anti-semitic letters and articles.
