The correspondence sheds light on Berent’s bonds with his German home. The letters centre on source material on the Jewry of Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland), and a critical discussion of an anti-German article published in the Library’s Bulletin. Contained are birthday wishes as well as a letter of condolence on Berent’s passing.
