Messages from the president of Jewish Communities of Switzerland, Saly Mayer, to the

underground leadership of the Romanian Jews. The conventional language and attempts at

camouflage – the message on the right was written on the wrapper of a razor blade – were of no

avail. The documents were handed directly to the Gestapo, and then transmitted to their intended

recipients.
