The Grunbergs (the name may also be spelled "Grinberg") write to BR in hopes that he may be able to succeed in helping them with Mr. Grunberg's son who is still residing in the USSR. Grunberg's mother has died, which leaves the boy with an elderly grandfather to care for him as his own mother is not a part of his life. Eve Grunberg is a Canadian who informs BR that she has applied through the Canadian Red Cross but still no luck.
