Description From Source	0.16 metres of textual material (1 box), includes some photographs – typescript This series of correspondence (108 letters and postcards), spanning the years of 1936 to 1941, was sent by Fritz Radok to family friend, Dr Grete Simon, who had been practicing as an ophthalmologist in Königsberg before emigrating to New York in around 1936. A small portion of the correspondence was written by Gertrud Radok. The letters capture the growing sense of uncertainty in Germany in the late 1930s, plans and preparations for the Radok family to emigrate, updates on the whereabouts and wellbeing of Fritz Radok’s sons, including the rescue of Uwe, Jobst, Rainer from the Arandora Star, their arrival in Australia on the HMT Dunera and their subsequent detention at Tatura internment camp.
