1944 SECRET NEGOTIATIONS FOR DOMINICAN
REPUBLIC PASSPORTS FOR PERSONS IN ENEMY-CONTROLLED EUROPE & SUBJECT TO PERSECUTION
(Excerpts from State
Dept. Letter, 5/25/1944 Mr. J. Pehle
to AA Berle)
“We have been advised by
apparently well-informed persons that insofar as people in Poland are concerned
it is of the utmost importance that no word of the issuance of such passports
should reach the German authorities, & that if passports are to be made
available to such persons, they should be transmitted through secret channels
which are known to us…. Attached hereto is a list of fifteen families together
with such biographical data as is available to us.”
