Scope and Content
The Fischgrund family letters consists of two letters, one each in German and English, written to Adolph Fischgrund of New York City in 1939. The letters, one written by a member of the family of Moritz Fischgrund of Bratislava and the other written by Otto Fischgrund of Brünn (now Brno, Czech Republic), describe the plights of the families and ask Mr. Fischgrund, who may or may not be a relation, if he would consider sponsoring them for immigration or to give money to help them.
