Telegram about Jewish Transport from Theresienstadt, Tangier, 1945

Monsieur V Tangier, February 9, 1945. Rives Childs American Chargé d'Affaires Tangier. Please excuse me for disturbing you, but knowing your cordial interest in the unfortunate Jews of Europe occupied by the enemy, I believe that you would be pleased to know that a certain number have been saved, as I learn from a telegram received this morning from Switzerland, the exact translation of which is as follows: Montreux 4040 57 7 21 11 Banatdio REICHMANN TANGIER. THIS MORNING 11:45 ARRIVAL FIRST TRANSPORT OF JEWS FROM THERESIENSTADT STOP THIS TRANSPORT WAS ALLOWED TO LEAVE BY THE GERMANS AT THE INTERVENTION OF ALTBUNDESRAT NUSY (HIGH COUNCILOR OF STATE) WHO HAS BEEN ELECTED FROM US FOR THIS MISSION OF THE EUROPEAN EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF THE UNION OF ORTHODOX RABBIS OF AMERICA AND CANADA STOP GERMANY HAS DECLARED TO ALLOW OTHER TRANSPORTS OF JEWS TO FOLLOW! As a result of this, I hope that the entry permission to Tangier, which has been granted due to your very valiant intervention for the 500 children and the 700 Jews, can also be utilized. Please accept, Monsieur, the expression of my highest consideration. Renée Reichman
