Typed letter from The Bowery Savings Bank, Safe Deposit Department, to Fritz ...

This letter from The Bowery Savings Bank to Fritz Hausmann at 6299 Elwell Crescent, Forest Hills, Long Island, appears to be a marketing letter promoting safe deposit box services. While not directly related to the Oppenheimer immigration, it was preserved in the correspondence file and establishes the Hausmann family's address — the same location where Fanny Hausmann stored Julius Oppenheimer's luggage (see receipt in 0019). Fritz and Fanny Hausmann were evidently part of the German-Jewish refugee community in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, which had become a significant settlement area for Central European immigrants. Their willingness to store nearly a ton of the Oppenheimers' household goods in their home for months speaks to the communal solidarity among refugees and their supporters.
