Letter of Support for Dr. Eli Pfefferkorn's Immigration Application
This letter, dated June 19, 1984, from Seymour Siegel, Executive Director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, is addressed to the District Director of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Baltimore, Maryland. Siegel writes in strong support of Dr. Eli Pfefferkorn's immigration application, emphasizing the Council's "compelling, immediate, and continuing need" for his services as a Consultant on Holocaust Program Development and Research Analysis. The letter details the Council's mandate, established by Congress in 1980, to plan, construct, and oversee a permanent living memorial museum in Washington, D.C., commemorating the Nazi Holocaust. Chaired by Elie Wiesel, the Council aims to integrate commemoration, remembrance, and education, including providing access to Holocaust curricula and teacher training through advanced technology. Siegel explains that Pfefferkorn's services are essential for fulfilling this statutory mission and that the Council has requested and received a waiver of the two-year foreign return requirement of the Immigration and Naturalization Act on November 28, 1983. The letter concludes with gratitude for the INS's assistance and an offer for further questions via their General Counsel, Jonathan A. Bush.
