DescripciónLetter in French, sent to Salomon Frankfurter by the HIAS-JCA Emigration Association (HICEM), Marseille. The letter advises Frankfurter that the sum of US$250 has been deposited at HICEM's New York office for the cost of his passage from France to the United States.
Salomon Frankfurter, born 7.5.1886 in Vienna, interned as a refugee in France seeking emigration to the United States. With one exception, they are written in French, covering the period 1939 to 1942. They illustrate the lengthy process to collect required documentation from French authorities and to obtain with the help of HIAS-JCA Emigration Association (HICEM) and the American Consul General in France with necessary travel visa documents. One document is written in German: a ‘Durchschrift’ (copy) of a meeting at the US consulate (in Marseille) on 22.7.1941 with the US consul Donaldson and representatives of the French internment Camp des Miles speaking on behalf of 609 internees who have relatives in America. Frankfurter succeeded in escaping Europe – from Marseille via Casablanca to the US. There is no further information on his life history
