The Abraham family lived in Berlin. Leopold Abraham, the father, a plumber by trade, and his wife Frieda were deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp some time in 1943. Max Abraham, the son, came to England with his wife, Hanni, in 1939, where he worked as a technical teacher at the ORT school in Leeds. He had previously worked as a technical teacher in the ORT school in Berlin. Hanni's parents and brother and sister all perished in Auschwitz. Frank Russell, one of the correspondents in the later letters, was a former pupil of the ORT school in Leeds.
