17.2. 1941 b | My cousin Helene Levystein gave us the address of her cousin, who owns a food store in Chicago; please go there to shop. It is called Royal Blue Store, Rotschild-Hirsch. Nachmanns deliver bread there. Mrs Rotschild has already reported this at home. I know this woman, too; everyone wants to advertise her relatives. Father does his shopping often there with Auntie from the Leerbach Street. You, dear Martin, know her, too; when we have no coal, we go there to warm up and stay until the evening. I wonder if Julius Kahn gets to leave now. Frieda is totally desperate now. Hede goes to the movies more often now. 2 times per week in Paralier? With Sig. Kahn, the brother of Leopold who lives on the ground floor. Every Saturday night they all come to us. Father often plays patience, an old folks’ card game. Once more, warm greetings from your Johanna Kossmann. My Nephew Simon is now in N. York with his family: he used to have a law office in Brussels. |
