HICEM
The excerpt of this report by Marie Schmolka, director of Czechoslovak HICEM, is enclosed in a letter sent by Pavel Deutsch, a concerned Czechoslovak citizen living in Dvůr Králové, to the president Edvard Beneš appealing to him to allow at least a temporary residence of the Burgenland refugees in a guarded camp on the Czechoslovak territory. The letter ended, without any reaction, in the fonds of the Czechoslovak Ministry of Interior.
