Title A name given to the resource Transatlantic Connections Document Translation Translation 27 March 1935 My dear Theodor and family! Thank you for your lovely lines you sent to me on Nov 17 last year. I would have responded earlier, but I did not have the time. A lot has been expected of me, especially regarding my political activities. I have been a member of the city council since last fall, I am the vice team leader of the local NSDAP. I am the counselor of 4 commissions, so not a day goes by where I do not have any meetings. But I do not mind working this much, because it is for a good cause and for our leader Adolf Hitler. It is getting better in Germany, people are working again, you can see smiling faces and we all have to thank our Adolf Hitler for that. The sales are also improving, money is still tight, but we will soon have more of it. We do not have any unemployed people in Sylt anymore and this also goes for many other areas in Germany. If I had a lot of money now, I could repay you my debt. I could purchase some cheap dollars here and pay into your savings at account the Reichsbank in Berlin, but like I said, money is still very scarce. You would not get the money anyway, so I might as well just keep it for now. Except for a minor cold we are all fine health-wise. Dad and mom are alive, but dad is not light on his feet. Dad is 72 now and mother turned 69. Did you get my newspaper, I hope so. You were able to see for yourself how it is here. Your newspapers are written by Jews and they are lying. The Freemasons also have control over your newspapers and Freemasons and Jews are a pest to the people. We are re-arming for the next season, the season of 1934 was quite good. Germany is at peace, the people can work and the spas are being visited again. In May we will have 3,000 national comrades here, who will travel with the NSDAP organization “Kraft durch Freude” (Strength through Joy). Mostly workers and employees, who can get to know their homeland for a small amount of money. I hope that you and your family are doing fine, too, and the same goes for your shop! What are Louis and George up to, please also pass on my regards to them. For now, I send my kind regards to you and your family, yours, Hans Rehder Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I feel so embarrassed writing you because I cannot repay you even if I wanted to. Sales are so slow that I need the small income to live on and pay taxes. I always ponder about how to do it and how to satisfy you, but for now there is no way out. The people do not have money, nobody can buy anything and earning money is unthinkable. Because of the deflation, I have lost approx. 120,00.00 marks regarding my warehouse. Lost it and now I have to sell my goods for the purchasing price or less on a daily basis. The situation here in Germany, which I cannot even begin to explain to you, is frantic. We are now putting all our hope into the Hitler administration, if Adolf Hitler is not able to take over soon, there will be nothing left other than Bolshevism. 100,000 people do not have anything to eat, they live off of welfare. A 4-person family gets 22.00 marks a week. So 4 people are supposed to live with 22.00 marks for 7 days straight, buy heating and dress themselves! You can calculate that this is not enough to feed them. My dear Theodor, if the worst is not going to happen, then something has to change soon and then I hope to be able to meet my obligations again. I am so sorry, but the circumstances are to fault because it is my sincere wish to meet my obligations. Health-wise we are all fine, thank god! Dad, though, is not really feeling well since he had a minor stroke last year, which he has not seemed to recover from. Mother is much better and still bears her age well. My wife and 2 children are healthy, my youngest daughter is now 1 ½ years old and I am truly enjoying it. The children are the only thing that can bring happiness nowadays anyway. How are you, I hope you are fine. My dear Theodor, please do not be angry with me, I want to, but I am truly not able to. I send my regards to you and your family, father and mother also send their regards Yours, Hans Rehder Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Transatlantic Connections Document Translation Translation Westerland, Sylt, 15 Jan 1931 Dear Theodor & family! I have received your lovely letter with all your news and I am really happy about it. Every time I hear about America, I get homesick. I have waited until today to write back to you, because I wanted to send you a check over 420.00 Reich marks. But I did not manage to do so because we are going through bad times, so I can only send you 200.00 marks today. Dear Theodor, you have to be satisfied with this for today because money in Germany is starting to become a rarity. There is no money left. Business is slow because nobody has the money to buy anything. Just imagine, there are about 5 million unemployed people in Germany, you can imagine how trade is suffering because of that. Of course, we own a large warehouse for our footwear, but what good is that when the purchasing power is non-existent. I could easily send you several 100 pairs of shoes, but that does not work. But Theodor, you do not have to worry, even though the times are bad, your money is safe and I will repay you. I am sure that money is not so scarce where you are and that you do not necessarily need it now. Health-wise, we are all fine, which is very important. Dad, mother, they are all still alive and well and my brother John is about to get married on Jan 20. His bride is from Gelsenkirchen, which is in the Rhine area. My brother, as you know, owns a café and a guest house in Kampen on Sylt and his bride is very competent in his business. We can only guess what the next season will bring, but I am sure less than before, because travel is dwindling. But we do not want to lose hope, because even though we are going through hard times, we can make it through if we are cautious and save our money. If Germany could only free itself from the damn Youngplan, a lot would change. But we have such a cowardly administration that says yes to everything our former enemies lay upon us. Now they started to organize a national administration for Germany and I think everything will be different then. Then we will have decent people back at the top and not all of the traffickers and Jews. We do not really have winters here and only 8 days of snow, today it is raining again. Tell me, when will someone of the family come over to Germany to visit us! Make it happen and come over or at least send Louis or George. I seem to only hear from you, but I want to write to Uncle Peter today as well. For now I send my regards to you and please write to me soon. Yours, Hans Rehder Stamps on the stationery: Death to the lie, do away with the Dawes Plan! Think of your child and the future! Become a National Socialist.
