In response to this, I have recently obtained 100 Tangier transit visas and necessary Spanish transit visas. Of these, I have sent 8 for young girls to Belsen. They have already arrived in Paris, and I expect their receipt in the coming days. Others I have sent to Sweden, also for young girls, who are already on the ship to Tangier. I am waiting for young Orthodox men from France and Italy. I have compiled a list of 60 entry permits from Rabbi Schleume Baumgarten for young girls held in Belsen. For the procurement of these entry permits, I required a material guarantee which I received from the Joint in Tangier. Regarding the situation in Tangier concerning religious and material matters, I reported in a letter from 10 of this year to Agudas Israel N.Y. We ourselves do not intend to remain here; we are only waiting to help the few surviving members of our families from Europe and to travel together to Palestine or America. Tangier is not suitable for religious Jews to remain, and marrying off the girls here is completely out of the question. The purpose of my work regarding the girls is based on Rabbi Baumgarten's view that remaining further in Belsen can harm not only physically but also morally. It is likely that I can obtain the material guarantee from the Joint for additional persons; however, the city is small and there is a great shortage of housing, which already concerns me regarding the accommodation of 1000 persons. Insofar as it concerns young people, I have the moral responsibility, or rather, I must take on the oversight. Helping a few hundred of these unfortunate people from the camp would only be possible if I could obtain affidavits with your help, Mr. Rosenheim, as soon as possible, preferably collectively, and insert the names here. There are certainly many pious families there who would like to assist orphans in establishing their new lives. Since the situation in Europe has been very critical for years, almost all have prepared for emigration by fully acquiring a trade. This eases the responsibility of the affidavit giver. Should I receive the affidavits, I could immediately send another entry permit, and until the new people arrive, the first can continue on. I have received an invitation to the Agudas Conference in London, and before receiving your esteemed letter, I also intended to take this opportunity to request the Agudas delegates from Palestine and America to assist my young people on a secure and stable basis, as I want them to be provided for before my departure. I believe I can obtain travel expenses from the Hicem (HIAS) N.Y. I would like to request your assistance if you have connections to HIAS, to obtain their consent in principle.

Ramine Reichmann Tanger 25 e Moliere Franger, dar,196 se walvenage for at foderes North Jakob Roven the most bar bass at va mah Rosenho Agudas Israel World Organization, New York ceb Neff CY Sehr geehrter Herr Rosenheim; 5 aly · 11. by an Ich bestastige Ihren w. Brief vom 18.1.d.J. und danke Ibeen defupra di vie Beantwortend dieses, ich habe letzten 100 Tange Binreisevizumab and noetigenden spanische Transitvizums besorgt. Davon habe 8 fuer junge Maedeken mo Belsen geschickt. Diese sind bereits in Paris eingetroffen un erhalt erwarte deren die naechsten Tagen. Andere & habe nach Sohweden eingesendet, ebenfalls an Junge chen, die sich auch schon am Schiff nach Tanger befinden. Brwarte junge orthodoxisch Maenner aus Frankreich und Italien. 60 Einrei sebewilligungen habe ich fuer eine Liste su- sammengestellt von Rabbi Schleume Baumgarten von junge Maedchen in Belsen freigehalten. Zur Besorgung dieser Einreisebewilligungen benostigte ich eine materielle Garantie die ich von der Joint in Tanger erhalten habe. Von der Lage in Tanger betrefflish religioese und materialle habe ich in einem Brief vom 10v.d.J. ander Agucas Israel N.Y. berichtet. Wir selbst gedenken nicht hier zu verbleiben, warten nur die wenig ueberlebenden Mitglieder unserer Familien aus Europa himaus helfen su koennen und zusammen nach Palestine oder Amerika weiterreisen. Tanger ist nicht geeignet fuer religioese Juden zu verbleiben, die Maedchen hier zu verheiraten ist ganz ausgeschlos- sen. Der Zweck meiner diesbezuegliche Arbeit wegen die Maedchen beruht sich auf Rabbi Baumgartens deren Ansicht dass das Verbleiben weiter in Belsen nicht nur phisisch sondern auch moralisch schaden kann. Es ist wahrscheinlich dass ich fuer weitere Personen die materielle Garantie der Joint erhal- ten kann, jedoch die Stadt klein und es herrscht eine eine grosse Wohnung amangel, die mir ist. bereits die Unterbringung der 1000 Personen Sorge macht. Insofern es sich von junge Leute han delt habe ich die moralische Verantwortung, besser gesagt die Aufsicht uebernehmen muessen. Helfen noch fuer einige 100 diese unglueckliche Leute vom Lager, waere nur moeglich wenn ich mit Ihrer Hilfe, Herr Rosenheim, Affidavits erhalten konnte, wegen Zeiterspraen moeglichst Collectiv und die Namen hier einsetzen. Es sind sicher dort viele fromme Familien die gerne einen Weisenkinder behilflich sein moechten ihr neues Leben aufrichten su koennen. De die Lage in Europa seit Jahren sehr kritisch war haben sich fast alle Zur Auswanderung vorbereitet dadurch, dass sie sich ein Handwerk vollkommen aneigneten. Dies erleichtert die Verantwortung des Affidavit gebers. oh sofort Sollte ich die Affidavits erhalten, koenate ich sofort eine weitere Binreisebewilligung senden und bis die neue Leute ankommen konnten die ersten weiterfahren. Ich habe eine Binladung sur Agudas Konferens nach London erhalen und vor Erhalt Ihres w. Bri fes dechte ich auch bei dieser Gelegenheit die "gudas Delegierten aus Palestina und Amerika ersuchen sie moechten meine junge Leute auf einen sicheren und festen Basis verhelfen, denn ich was sie, vor meiner Abreise versorgt wissen. Die Reisespesen denke ich von der Hicem (HIAS) N.Y. su erhalten. Ich mosahte Sichuch ersuch- en falls Sie Beziehungen zu der HIAS haben, deren Einverstandnis im Prinsipe su verimgen ka wollen. over-
