Dear Mr. Berg:
My uncle was in Drancy in 1944. He was in convoy 77 when
sent to Auschwitz. You are probably familiar with Klarsfelds. He is mentioned
in their book. From Auschwitz he was sent to Mauthausen and was shot
in March of 1945. I will purchase your book or I would like one signed by you, that would be very nice. His name was Alfred Fritz, born in Vienna in 1914.
He was with French resistance, provided identity cards for others in danger and
I believe he is the man on the cover of the book, Suite Francaise, published in 2004 and written by Irene Nemirovsky. This is the British and American editions.
I am quite sure this is him. Do you know him? Do you remember an Alfred Fritz?
With kindest regards,
Ruth Zitron
