Fritz and Katharina Flesch collection

Fritz Flesch sent the 1939 letter to the L.M. Bickett Company of Elkhhorn, Wisconsin, seeking employment in the United States. It describes his and his family's plight as a Jew in post-Anschluss Vienna. Also includes a letter and curriculum vitae from his wife, Katharina, who was also seeking employment, and who at that time had immigrated to Britain, and was working as a house maid near London. The L.M. Bickett Company response reveals that he was not offered a job by this firm. The Fleschs' fates are unknown.
