Bruno-taut-Ring 7b
Berlin-Britz
June 25, 1860
Hello:
l have never had so much to do
at one time as we have had this
last week. Things have settled
down now and we are living with
our Berlin families.
We arrived in Vlissingen Ca small
port south of Rotterdam) early in
the morning of the 18th. We went
by train to Hanover where we
stayed two nights Since our plans
had been changed at the last min
ute, the A. F. S. could not find
homes for everyone in Hanover.
Twenty out of the forty-nine Ber-
liners stayed in homes while the
other twenty-u be stayed in Ger
man YMCA and YWCA homes. /
stayed with the Bartach family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bartach could not
speak any English, but their son
spoke English fuently. Their
daughter spoke English fairly well
also. They were fine hosts and /
loved every moment Of my visit.
The first day their son took me
sightseeing and the second day
we went on a family picnic. /
never knew one family could have
so many relativesi But as every
good thing must come to an end,
I had to leave this family and
once again head for Berlin. AL
though / hated to leave Hanover,
was anxious to meet my Berlin
family. We few to Berlin in a
VC-8O2. During our fight l met a
very interesting German student.
His university class was touring
Berlin for eight days. The rest
of his class was going by bus and
were to meet him in Berlin. Since
he had fed from East Germany a
few days before the Workers Re-
volt, he did not wish to enter the
East again.
At last, after many weeks of
waiting, / met my family. Mama
and Papa Rosin speak only few
words of English, but Carla speaks
English fairly well. We are liv-
| ing in the American section of Ber-
lin. We are living in a refugee
settlement, which was built with
American funds. Since their es-
cape from East Germany in 1866.
they have been living in this set
tlement. The apartments in this
settlement are nice modern ones.
Our home has an american" kit
chen, living-dining room, three
bedrooms and bath.
There is so much to tell you and
SO little time to write lettersi
guess most of it will have to wait
until / return.
Auf WiedeTsehen,
Margaret Ann
