Scope and Content
The Annelies Sabatowski letters were written by Annelies Sabatowski, originally of Dresden, Germany, on December 30, 1938, and March 6, 1939, to "Gisa" (Gisela "Gisa" Kleinermann, now Goldstein). In the letters, Annelies, a fifth-grade pupil at the Jewish school in Dresden, writes that classes were cancelled for a few months after Kristallnacht, and that she is hoping to be on a transport to England. Annelies and her family (with the exception of a brother, Fritz) were deported to Auschwitz and killed in 1943.
