Under auspices of the Jewish Museum and as part of the “Blind Trust” project in Eastern Berlin, a small Berlin museum there has an exhibit in tribute to Erich Frey and her 12-page letter he wrote in 1942 to his daughters who had left Germany three years earlier. In this letter, Frey gives a personal account of persecution under the Nazis. The exhibition takes place in the workshop where German owner Otto Weidt employed blind and deaf people to make brushes. Weidt was able to protect Jews up to 1943–among them Frey, a former bank employee. Frey and his wife Elsbeth had to go in hiding in 1943 and they were discovered in April 1944 by the Gestapo and deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia where they were taken to the Auschwitz death camp.
