Description

In this petition and affidavit, dated August 1946, Curt Benedict seeks to overturn the decision not to release German national Richard Auras from his internment as an enemy alien.

Benedict writes that Auras has been a loyal member of American society while residing in the United States, in both his personal and professional lives. Benedict assures that Auras has never been a member of the Nazi Party while residing in the United States, and, if released, Auras plans to become a citizen.

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.
