I have arrived in Białystok for my printing examination, and at the same time I submit my request.
I am a Jewish artist and dramaturge. My talent was recognized by the Polish Ministry of Education in Warsaw. For two years I have specialized in giving lectures at the Art Academy for educated audiences and was retained as an artist-lecturer in pedagogical courses in Warsaw.
Previously, I was involved in stage direction, the preparation of artistic events by artists, and the dissemination of art among children, through an approach of art-paternalism.
I am nearly the only Jewish painter, and in general artist, still producing, and I already publish artistic work in “Nasze Życie.”
I believe that the Jewish people of the future can thrive only through access to education, cultural materials, and labor. Therefore, we must train artists to depict Jewish life realistically and meaningfully.
I am presently in this place, at the “Tabor” [facility], preparing myself. My husband — a former Olympic specialist in physical education and now active in Nazi-sponsored sport — remembered me to you, Mr. Director, to bring me into the workforce.
My request is minimal: to be allowed to live and to work ten hours daily in the field of printing arts.
It is the director who has barred me...
I am the [?] whose request Moshe is to fulfill — if I myself [survive].
