- Notes
- 1 page, single-sided. Folded once vertically and once horizontally. Paper printed with letterhead of The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Inc., Far Eastern Office, Shanghai. Document is a letter of recommendation certifying that Mr. Heiss worked at the office as a messenger from August 12, 1947 until December 5, 1948. It describes him as "honest, diligent and reliable", and explains that he is leaving the position because he is emigrating to Israel. Narrative: Salomon Heiss was the father of the donor, Erika Bloom. The Heiss family fled Nazi-occupied Vienna in 1938, after Salomon was arrested and detained in Dachau for 3 days. They survived the war in Shanghai, immigrated to Israel in 1949, and eventually settled in Montreal.
