Dear Dr. Lichtigfeld,  

I am very interested to hear from you, whether you have arrived back well. Unfortunately, I have not heard anything from you yet.  

Regarding the matter of supplying the Jewish prisoners with kosher provisions, I can inform you that this is being handled and taken care of from here. The matter of kosher provisions for the camps Emden and Senkwaarden has already been resolved, with the result that the meat is already being delivered from Hannover. I am in constant contact with the camps.  

As for the kosher provisions for Camp Belsen, I can inform you that Mar Laren and Mr. Otway have taken care of this matter. I have the approval that not only 50% but 100% kosher can be delivered.  

For the Exodus people, I urgently need various religious books. Regarding these people, I have all the help from the English authorities. They will not be regarded as DPs. In the new camps, things are still not entirely in order, but certainly much better than in Peppendorf and Am Stau.  

I would be pleased to hear from you again soon and greet you with  
(Torah greetings)  
Your devoted  
-Ch.R. Lubinski  

P.S. Mr. Lipski from the Jewish Relief Unit accuses me that the candles for Niedersachsen have not arrived.</abstract>

Sehr geehrter Herr Dr. Lichtigfeld
kaufe
Es interessiert mich sehr, einmal von Ihnen zu hören,
ob Sie gut wieder angekommen sind. Leider hörte ich noch
nichts von Ihnen.
Was die Sache mit der Belieferung der Jüd.Gefangenen mit
Koscher-Verpflegung betrifft, kann ich Ihnen mitteilen,
daß diese von hier betrieben und erledigt wird,
Die Sache mit der Koscher-Verpflegung für die Lager Emden und
Senkwaarden ist bereits erledigt, mit dem Ergebnis, daß das
Fleisch bereits von Hannover aus geliefert wird.
Mit den Lägern stehe ich in dauerndem Kontakt.
Was die Koscher-Verpflegung für Lager Belsen betrifft, so kann
ich mitteilen, daß Mar Laren und Mr. Otway die Sache erledigt
haben. Ich habe die Genehmigung, daß nicht nur 50% sondern
100% koscher geliefert werden können.
Für die Exodus-Leute brauche ich dringend verschiedene
religiöse Bücher. Bezüglich dieser Leute habe ich seitens
der engl. Behörde alle Hilfe. Sie werden jedenfalls nicht als
DP&apos;s angesehen. In den neuen Lägern ist es auch noch nicht ganz
in Ordnung, aber jedenfalls viel besser als in Peppendorfnund
Am Stau.
Ich würde mich freuen, bald wieder von Ihnen zu hören
und begrüße Sie mit
(
Thorah-Grüßen
Ihr ergebener
-Ch.R.Lubinski
NB Mr.Lipski von Jewish Relief Unit
macht mir den Vorwurf, daß die Kerzen
für Niedersachsen nicht angekommen sind.</p>
