Correspondence with Weil, Bruno

Long-term correspondence on various topics. Letters from the pre-war period centre on the options of Jewish-German emigration to South America, with a focus on Brazil or Bolivia (1936-37). The post war correspondence covers various subjects including the Kartell Convent and the Centralverein; reservations against ‘Yekkes’ (German speaking Jews) among international Jewry; Weil’s research and publication on the Dreyfus affair and Roman orator Cicero; activities in the field of restitution, and various other current affairs (1951-61). After his passing, additional correspondence contains condolence announcements, a memorial service, and radio broadcasts about Weil (1961-63).

The correspondence comprises reports about Jewry and Jewish life in certain South American or Caribbean countries, press cuttings, undated documents, and transcripts of a radio show of Weil as well as a public talk given by him.
