Description:
Walter Laqueur was a German historian, journalist and political commentator. From 1965-1994, he was the Director of the Institute of Contemporary History and the Wiener Library in London. He was Professor of the History of Ideas at Brandeis University from 1968 to 1972, and at Georgetown University from 1976 to 1988. In this letter from Catherine Sugarman (Kate Hirsch) to Laqueur, she mentions the possibility of obtaining files related to Helmut Hirsch from Ottmar Katz. This letter and others found in the collection dealing with writings about Helmut's life show the careful custodianship Kate had on her brother's legacy.
