a.) Complaint on the circumvention of the Jewish Laws - 8 May, 1944
The letter written by a photographer and studio owner to the mayor of Kiskunfélegyháza draws the attention to a woman and her daughter being in the same profession owning a studio working with a Christian man allegedly being there as their "strohmann" (literally strawman) planning to declare that the studio is in his own property. The letter-writer emphasizes that as far as he knows „it is not yet possible to lay claims for Jewish shops” and it would not be right to allow strawmen to seize business-premises of „their own Jews.”
