To the Association of Polish Jews in America

Rychbach [Germany] , April 29, 1946

We request that this letter be sent to the landsmanshaft of Nowy Dwor in Warsaw

Dear Landslayt:

First, thank you for $1250 you sent which we received from Dr. Tenenboym. It was very useful especially for the people newly arrived from Russia. Regrettably, it was difficult to distribute, because Nowy Dworers are now widely scattered. Only three Jews live in Nowy Dwor itself. They are: Aron Matushok, Yosef Klaynman and Khane Lubelska from Man Kovalkso. Living in Warsaw are: Meyer Mundlak with his wife and child; Zefel Goldshteyn with his wife and mother; L. Berman; Yankl Evenzon; Avrom Kartsovitsh; Wolf Altshteyn; Moyshe Ravitski ; and several others, in total about 20 people. In Lodz there are also 20-odd Nowy Dworer. The largest number, about 100 people, are now concentrated in Lower Silesia, the new province of Poland [formerly Germany], where the Jews returning from Russia are being settled. Their numbers will grow, probably to 150, because not all Nowy Dworers have yet come back from Russian.

In connection with this, it would be very desirable if your future aid would be sent to three addresses: Warsaw, Lodz and Rychbach, proportionate to the numbers of Nowy Dworers. That would make it easier to receive and disburse the funds; we wouldn't have to travel to Warsaw as we did the last time, which entails difficulties and expenses.

We have created here an expanded committee for all of Lower Silesia, headquartered in Rychbach. The following have become members: Gedalye Turkltaub, Shaye Gutman, Yisroel Kirshteyn, Shmuel Grinvortsl and Leybl Levkovitsh.

Now a few details about our material living conditions and our morale. On the free market a kilo of bread costs 30 zlotys, sugar 250 zlotys, butter 700 zlotys. A suit costs 6,000 to 15,000 zlotys. The wages of a factory worker are about 2000 zlotys a month, supplemented with food coupons, but that isn't sufficient and there is nothing available to buy. As to morale, we feel very bad here. No one intends to stay. People are eager to move on to other places, but that is not so easy. We believe that you will do everything possible to help us here and also to help us emigrate.

 

A heartfelt greeting on behalf of the survivors,
Shaye Gutman

At the occasion of your second banquet, we send you our most sincere salutations.

In addition to this, we must thank you for what one of your members, Mr. Samuel Bernstein, has allowed to obtain an advance of 85,000 francs to buy a machine which helps us in our work.

In ending, we wish you the important success in your beneficient work.

A letter of thanks from Lonia Abramovicz Shtarkier, who survived the Nazi beasts along with her husband and only son. Through the efforts of the Nowy Dwor Relief Committee in Los Angeles they received a loan from the Joint Distribution Committee in Paris in the amount of 85,000 francs, which enabled them to purchase a machine for their work, helping them to re-establish themselves.
