Dear Sir,
my name is Renate Haertle, I am a teacher of history at
Nibelungen-Realschule in Braunschweig, Germany. My students and I are
working on a history project concerning Jewish citizens who were
persecuted by the Nazis between 1933 and 1939 in Nazi Germany.
We concentrated on Dr. Heinz Meyer and his family who lived here in
Braunschweig from 1927 to 1938/9 and were forced to emigrate to the US.
We have already found  out a lot about his biography and tried to
contact his children, Margrit and Jochen in the US. So I was very glad
to find your photos of Margrit and her family on the internet some days
ago. But yesterday night I learned that Margrit passed away a few weeks
ago. May I offer you my condolences on her death.
My history class and I have been talking a lot about Margrit during the
last few months, trying to find her somewhere in the US. Now we can see
her and her family and they got back their identification, those
wonderful photos tell us about their lives.
We are working on this project in order not to forget what happened and
to put up a memorial plate in front of the house they last lived in.
This project is called "Stolpersteine" and will be publicly presented on
23 February here in Braunschweig. That's why I would like to ask you if
we may use some of your photos for our presentation. And maybe you could
give us some more details We would be very glad to hear from you.
Yours sincerely
Renate Haertle

Dear Ms. Haertle, 

Thank you for your condolences. I am copying my father, Ernst Jochen
Meyer, Margrit's younger brother. I am sure that he will have much to
say. His website is http://home.earthlink.net/~ernstmeyer/. I would
direct you particularly to
http://home.earthlink.net/~ernstmeyer/andere/K07.TXT, some of his
reflections on National Socialism.
