“I am writing to you from the film production company Sirenafilm based in Prague. We are currently preparing a film about the Jewish Kindertransport from Austria after the Nazi occupation of Austria in 1938. An essential element of certain scenes is the use of ´´Reich´´ passports that were issued to Austrian citizens shortly after the occupation with the infamous J stamp. After extensively browsing and familiarizing myself with the world of passport collecting, you proved to be the foremost authority on the subject as much as someone who has previously worked with television and film productions. “
