Dear Mr. Morawetz,

I want to thank you very much for your moving letter of February 20th. From this letter and the one you wrote to Doubleday I can make out the deep impact Anne's Diary had on you.

As you can imagine I am receiving many, many letters from readers of the book from all over the world, and every one of them is impressed especially by certain passages. You are the first one who is struck by the feelings Anne expresses about the fate of her friend Lies and the suffering of so many other Jews. Lies survived however and is living now in Jerusalem. She is married and has 3 children. Of course I am in contact with her.

I am also always in correspondance [sic] with Mr. Kraler whose real name is Victor Kugler and it is correct that you heard about his emigration to Toronto. His address is 22 Braeburn Avenue, Weston, Ontario. Mr. Koophuis died several years ago. Miep and her family as well as Elly I am meeting when I visit Amsterdam.

I hope we shall stay in touch with each other and you will keep me informed about your work from which I would like to receive a copy, and also I would like to know when and where Miss Lois Marshall will have the première of your composition.

Wishing you all the best, I am with kindest regards

very sincerely yours

Otto Frank
