<<The Last Legal Jewish Publication in Nazi Germany.>> Designed to familiarize potential Jewish émigrés with the procedures of applying for a visa to the United States. Cited on pp. 92-101 are sample letters written to American consulates wherein the Jewish males carry the middle name of “Israel” and Jewish females bear the middle name “Sara.” This was in compliance with Nazi law. In all likelihood, this booklet, issued after the onset of World War II, is the final official publication of the Jewish community of Germany. Within a short time, the author himself would perish in the Oranienburg concentration camp.
