My father, Lothar Auerbach, was fortunate to obtain a visa from the British Passport Control Office in Berlin in February 1939. This visa was signed by Cecil Insall, the deputy of Frank Foley, who, by the extraordinary efforts of himself and his staff, saved the lives of many Jews who were at that time desperate to emigrate to Britain or Palestine.
I am anxious to contact anybody who may have documents or other material relating to this matter. Does anybody have a German passport with the visa stamps of Foley or Insall? Any information that goes beyond that contained in Michael Smith’s book would be most welcome and assist me in my research.
