Abstract:
Discusses eleven letters (now in the Leo Baeck Institute archives) written in Italy between 1939-44 by Maximilian Segall, a Jew from Danzig, and sent to Montevideo. They are a testimony of his efforts to escape Nazi persecution. In 1939 he had emigrated to Italy, from where he attempted in vain to escape overseas. After Italy joined the war in 1940, as a Jewish refugee he was arrested and sent to the internment camp Casoli. Following the German takeover of northern Italy in 1943, he was deported in February 1944 - together with 700 Jews - to Auschwitz, where he probably perished.
