TLS, one page, 7.5 x 10, Dokumentationszentrum letterhead, November 12, 1964. Letter of thanks to a contributor. In part, “I am alwys [sic] very happy when I receive a letter like yours as it is very encouraging and I consider it an appreciation of my work, which I am not doing for myself but I think we have to fulfill the testament of millions of our killed brothers. I am also very grateful for any contribution as it helps to my work because we are now in the last year, where we can still persecute the murderers of our people. 1965 comes the limitation and then nothing more can be done.” Letter is affixed to a mount and matted to an overall size of 10 x 14. Intersecting folds and light show-through from the mailing envelope affixed to the reverse, otherwise fine condition. Encouraged by the conviction of Eichmann in 1961, Wiesenthal reopened the Jewish Documentation Center, this time in Vienna, and concentrated exclusively on the hunting of war criminals.
