Will Reveal Zweig
Letters in 10 Years

JERUSALEM (Palcor)—Stefan.
Zweig's correspondence with
many famous authors will be
brought to light in 1952, it was
revealed here by Prof. Gothard
Weil, head of the Jewish Na-
tional and University Library on
Mount Scopus.
The ( famous Viennese author.
whc died in tragic circumstances
in Brazil during the last week
of February, had tranterred his
files of correspnadence with the
authors to the Library in 1933
and had supplemented the gift in
later years by many other letters
of the same kind, Prof. Well as-
serted. The librarian ex: -,iained
that Zweig had, however, set the
condition that the material was
to be neither published nor even
shown to anyone until 10 year:,
after his death.
