Rabbi Mordechai Ya’akov Golinkin of Danzig. <<Autograph Letter Signed>> written in Hebrew, to Rabbi Yoseph Lipman Gurewicz of Melbourne, Australia.
Impassioned plea for assistance to provide escape routes from Nazi Europe.
Two pages on letterhead. 2 punch-holes, Lg. 4to.
Danzig: 1st Adar I (1st February) 1938
Vilna-born Rabbi Joseph Lipman Gurewicz (1885-1956) was a student of R. Chaim Ozer Grodzenski. In 1930 he visited Australia on behalf of the Lithuanian Va’ad HaYeshivos and made such a positive impression upon Melbourne Jewry he was prevailed upon to take up the pulpit of the Carlton United Hebrew Congregation in that city. In this position, and due to the dynamic community leader that he was, Gurewicz became a central figure in the intense struggle to obtain sanctuary in Australia for Jews desperate to leave Nazi-Europe.
