DescripciónThis is letter written to the attention of Mr Stepanek at the German Jewish Aid Committee from Tradoc Ltd, of which Hans Charmatz is the Director. Two visas have been approved for two workers, Charlotte and Felicitas Lewinter, at the Viennese knitting factory he is trying to establish but the two women for which they were granted do not have the financial means to emigrate. He asks the committee to help them with landing money and tickets to Australia.
In 1938 Hans Charmatz was able to leave Austria for London. From there, he set about trying to help friends from his Zionist Club in Vienna to leave the country. Hans developed a plan to establish a knitwear factory in Australia, arguing that he needed skilled workers from Austria. He wrote to the Australian government requesting immigration permits for 20 "specialists" and their families. His bold plan was successful and was responsible for saving the lives of 20 of his friends and their families.
