Dear Mr. Ambassador:

Thank you for your kind letter of December 24 and for sending me the two books about Chile. In light of your recommendations I will read the volumes with great interest and appreciation for your thoughtfulness.

May I take this opportunity to tell you how much I have enjoyed knowing and working with you and wish you well in your new endeavors.

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

Enclosed is a photograph of Franklin D. Roosevelt which I wish to send to you as a gift. If he were able to appear today, I am sure that one of the first things that he would do is to shake your hand and convey his gratitude to you for your efforts and success in resolving the difficult Viet Nam War negotiations. In doing so, he would also be expressing the appreciation of the majority of American and World citizens, who now have a much greater confidence in the possibility of attaining a full generation of peace.

KISSINGER, HENRY A.

Please forgive my oversight. I'm afraid that is
an indication of the pace of this office!

Let's try again, however. Enclosed is the card
for your collection. I apologize for the delay
but am pleased that you indeed will have the
signed card.

Could you please explain for what purpose you would
like to use the news photo? Just send a note and,
if possible, I'll be happy to comply.

With best wishes,

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

Enclosed you will find my Chanukah gift to you, the type of gift which I hope you enjoy-- a good book.

Unfortunately, there are many people who will not be enjoying Chanukah this year--and most of them are the Jews in Soviet Russia. The Russian government is now climaxing 3 years of a vicious anti-Semitic campaign (cloaked under the guise of anti-Zionism) by bringing 35 Jews to trial on phoney charges ranging from attempting to hijack a plane to Israel to slandering the state. These people may be shot for these "crimes".

The Soviet government denies Jews any chance to practice their religion. They also deny Jews the right to freely emigrate (to Israel), this being in violation of the U.N. Human Rights Bill which the Russians have signed.

Twenty five years after Auschwitz, the Russians are looking for the final solution to the "Jewish Problem". Their answer is much crueler than gas chambers.

The world sat by silently while 6 million Jews were turned into bars of soap. F. D. R., the State Dept., the Allies, the Pope all turned their heads the other way and hoped the problem would disappear. Now, history is beginning to repeat itself. However, the Jews of the world will not sit by silently now. Everyone in this country sympathized with that Lithuanian sailor who so desparately tried to obtain his freedom a few weeks ago. 3 million more so desparately want their freedom, but no one says a word about them.

Chanukah is the holiday which commemorates the victory of the Jews who fought off the Roman legions in order to gain their freedom. And I, being my brother's keeper, sit here and wonder what I can do to help Soviet Jews gain their freedom. I can write letters to the Soviets, to my Senators, and to the President. I can pray that the U.S. government attempts to do what it can. (Meanwhile, others in our country can wait no longer and have taken matters into their own hands.)

I realize that we have many other important matters to discuss with the Russians--Berlin, the Middle East, disarmament--but I hope that this administration will not make the same tragic mistake that the Roosevelt administration made. Your boss, the President, is ultimately the one person who can do anything for Soviet Jews. I believe that YOU are one person to whom he will really listen.

Best wishes for a joyous and free Chanukah.

KISSINGER, HENRY A.

Dear Mr. Mayor:

Just a short note to thank you for your holiday greetings and for sending me the book on Furth. I am pleased to be brought up to date on the appearance of my home town. It is a handsome little book and I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Please accept my good wishes for 1972.

Dear Professor Kissinger!

Again we near the holidays and the changing of the year 1971/1972.
We hope here, that you have the opportunity in some quiet
hour to think of the old city Furth. So that you can see how she
now appears, we send you this small picture book, which is
published in early summer. With the pictures, we send our
most heartfelt holiday greetings and best wishes for the year
1972. It would give us special joy if you could arrange this
year to come visit us again.

With highest regards!

Sehr geehrter Herr Professor Kissinger!

Wieder nähern sich die Festtage und die Jahreswende 1971/72.
Gerne hoffen wir hier, daß Ihnen die Möglichkeit gegeben ist,
in einer stillen Stunde dabei auch an die alte Stadt Fürth
zu denken. Wie sie jetzt aussieht, möchten wir Ihnen gerne
durch einen kleinen Bildband vermitteln, der im Frühsommer
ds.Jhrs. erschienen ist. Wir verbinden mit den Bildern unsere
herzlichsten Festtagsgrüße und die besten Wünsche für das
Jahr 1972. Besondere Freude würde uns bereiten, wenn sich in
diesem Jahre ein Wiedersehen, sehr geehrter Herr Professor
Kissinger, ermöglichen ließe.

Mit vorzüglicher Hochachtung!
