Donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2016 by Toby Cohen, daughter of the recipient of this letter.

Scope and Content

Contains a letter and recommendations, dated October 1, 1938, written by Friedel Tykoschinski (b. September 26, 1914 in Trier, Germany) who moved in 1926 together with her parents Hersch Hermann (b. 1887) and Rosa (b. 1885), and younger brother Erwin to Berlin. She asked Mrs. Cohen (donor's mother) to send her a secondary affidavit, supporting that of Friedel's uncle in New York.
