TitleLetter from Simon to Dr FG Brickwedde re accommodation arrangements for the forthcoming Temperature Conference in Washington
Date12 October 1954
DescriptionSimon also discusses Dr Moser (who is also attending the conference), describing him as maybe "one of the very few Germans who really behaved decently. The chances, however, are that if he was not a Nazi then at least he belonged to those who closed their eyes and did not lift a finger to help the victims of the Nazis. I really do not want to risk having to make polite conversation with a man who may have been instrumental either actively or passively in the deaths of a few dozen of my relatives who, starting with an old aunt of 92 and ending with a young boy of 2, ended in the gas chambers"
