Vatican Locates Boston Jew's Kin In Warsaw After Others Fail
BOSTON (JTA)—Jacob Freedman, a Boston tailor, has obtained word that his sister and nephews in Warsaw are in good health, through the assistance of the Vatican.
He wrote to Pope Pius for aid after the American State Department and International Red Cross had been unable to help him.
From Cardinal Luigi Maglione, Papal Secretary, he received the reply: "La Segretaria di Stato di Sua Santita begs to inform Jacob Freedman that Mrs. Chana Freedman and her sons are in good health and still reside in Warsaw, ul Suadlecka 18."
Freedman commented to the Boston Globe:
"I don't know the words to express what I feel, that they should take an interest in us with all the other things in the world to worry them.
I think it's the finest, most wonderful thing. So human, so much love and humanity."
