Ivan Landauer, the last Jewish Inn keeper of Hohenems until 1938, has managed to escape to his sister Jenny in Heerbrugg, just across the border. Now he is questioned regularly by the Swiss police and repeatedly receives a note, asking him to continue his emigration to a third country as soon as possible, allowing him only another three months to stay.
