Sgt. Silberstein Celebrates Passover
In Von Runstedt's Headquarters

A letter from their son, Cpl.
Lee Rosenberg, occasioned great
rejoicing in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Rosenberg of 2752
Boston Blvd., this being the first
communication they had receiv-
ed concerning him since - he was
reported missing in France on
Jan. 17.
The letter informs his family
that he has escaped from a Ger-
man prison camp and now is in
a hospital somewhere in France.
Cpl. Rosenberg was unable- to
give the details of his escape or
his exact present location.
A graduate of Northern High,
he was associated with his father
in the Rosenberg Department
Store on Michigan Ave., prior to
entering service more than two
and a half years ago. He was

er his induction and had °served
