A Refugee's Plea for Help

Return to "A Refugee's Please for Help (1887)"

To the well-born Mr. Josef Kahlberg,It is only the most extreme need that forces me once again to beg for your mercy. A poor Rabbinic family that fled from Russia to nearby as a result of the persecution of Jews stands before you and pleads for compassion. God Himself will inscribe you in the Book of Life for this. Since several letters containing money have not reached us, please send via postal money order only.

Respectfully,Rabbi Osias [Yehoshua] Krohn, Skala a/Z [Skala am Zbruch], Galicia
