Description
In this letter, dated May 20th, 1949, from the Reverend T. W. Strieter of Our Savior Lutheran Church of Chicago to United States Senator William Langer, Strieter refers to an enclosed affidavit written by the former Chief of State of Estonia, which Strieter received from Karl V. Sandberger, father of convicted Nazi war criminal Martin Sandberger.
Strieter writes that the affidavit attests to Martin Sandberger's innocence "as regards the massacre of Jews in Estonia," and urges Langer to use the affidavit in his efforts to seek justice for the condemned Martin Sandberger.
The affidavit mentioned as being enclosed was not found with this letter in Langer's papers.
