Letter from Johann von Leers to W. E. B. Du Bois

1955

Thanking him for his letter (mums312-b144-i265) and thanking him for his books; describing his take on German colonialism "and its effects on the African peoples"; commenting on social relations in that nation; noting his fight against the Jews and describing that people's efforts "to bring war on Germany, to force Germany down and bring out country again under their heels"; and thanking Du Bois for allowing him "to expose a little my own point of view....I should feel particularly happy if a man like you....will understand me."
