This is a note from a teacher at the Dusseldorf Jewish School in Germany to Shmuel (Samuel) Ehrenhalt wishing him luck in America. The note written in German, dated June 24, 1936, translates as, ?Your class wishes you all the best in the future. Dusseldorf 24 June 1936 Class 3.? The family left Germany for New York six days later.
Ehrenhalt and his family were able to escape Nazi Germany for the US after an aunt in New York started the immigration process on their behalf and without their knowledge. They left for New York on June 30, 1936, Ehrenhalt?s eleventh birthday.
