Sophie then presented us with a letter Carl Laemmle had writ-
ten in English dated September 7th, 1939, in which he encouraged
his family with his unbelievable vigor. Laemmle knew how per-
sistent and life-loving Laupheim’s business owners were. At the
same time, he had experienced how they once had to leave their
beloved hometown, their souls broken. In this letter, Laemm-
le writes that “this is strictly confidential”. There is reason to
believe that, with his letter, Carl wanted to provide a necessary
impulse, wanted to help people help themselves and help acquain-
tances escape. Once again, Carl showed his humble character,
remaining in the background as he helped.
