Scope and content
Photograph of the last letter sent by Julian Meyer to his family from Italy. It was written on the 18th August 1943 which was his 25th birthday. 'In normal circumstances it is difficult enough to express adequately one’s emotions on an occasion such as this. Under present circumstances it is practically impossible. My chief desires are to make it clear to you that I am not deserving of pity,… I know and am reconciled to the fact that we as individuals are but inconsiderable non entities, when one realizes the mental anguish & physical torture to which so many are now subjected. It behoves us now not be bemoan our misfortunes, but rather to count our blessing which are manifest and many. … My friends have helped to make today most pleasant. Though a fence encompasses me, my spirit is free and with you'.
