Description
In this letter, dated August 10, 1945, from R. Rehker, secretary of San Francisco's Eureka Lodge, to U.S. Assistant Attorney General Herbert Wechsler, Rehker writes that Richard Auras joined Eureka Lodge No. 6 on October 14, 1937, after the lodge had investigated his character and found him to be "upright and honest," adding his belief that Auras would be a "loyal and faithful" citizen of the United States.
Auras was arrested on December 8, 1941 by the US government under the Alien Enemy Act of 1798 and interned at Fort Lincoln, south of Bismarck, ND.
