Letter to Bianka Hassel

Berlin, 15.6.1945 Beloved Mother! I was delighted to learn from Werner today that you are on the list of those who are soon to return to Berlin and I can send you post care of the Iranische Str. It is still like a dream to me, that you really will be home again and I only hope that the journey here will not be too much for you. We have all come through the last critical weeks unscathed, and I didn’t lose the apartment either, so I can count myself lucky in every respect. Until we meet again, safe and sound, heartfelt kisses from your (Signature) Hella and Hans
