Corso Re Umberto 75

Caro amico,

l’Associazione nazionale ex deportati politici nei campi nazisti, che mi ha invitato a un convegno su Il dovere di testimoniare,[1] mi ha appena comunicato di avermi riservato una stanza presso l’Hotel Concord (via Lagrange 67, tel.: 557 67 56).

Arriverò a Torino il 27 ottobre (probabilmente verso sera) e mi fermerò fino al 30 ottobre, mentre il convegno si terrà il 28 e il 29 ottobre.

Ti scrivo perché mi farebbe molto piacere approfittare finalmente dell’occasione per parlare di nuovo con te.

In attesa di un felice e salutare nuovo incontro, ti mando i miei saluti più cari, come sempre

Tuo

Hermann[2]

Caro amico,

I have just received a message from the National Association of Former Political Deportees to Nazi Camps, which has invited me to a congress on “The Duty to Bear Witness,”[1]  informing me that they have reserved a room for me at Hotel Concord (via Lagrange 67, Tel.: 557 67 56).

I’m coming to Turin on October 27 (probably toward evening) and staying until October 30. The congress will be held on October 28 and 29.

I’m writing this because I would of course take great joy in finally being able to speak to you again on this occasion.

Until we meet again, I wish you happiness and health, warmest greetings, as always,

Yours,

Hermann[2]
