Jean Jaffe was a good friend of the Jewisch-Austrian(-American) writer Soma Morgenstern. He mentions her as such in his memoirs (written in German, not (yet) translated into English) "In einer anderen Zeit. Jugendjahre in Ostgalizien" (In another time. Days of Youth in East Galicia), 1995. ISBN 3-924245-37-1. Also his son, the American Jazz critic Dan Morgenstern, mentions in his article about his father Jean Jaffe as friend. ("Soma Morgenstern's life in America" in: Weigel, Robert G. (ed.): Vier groÌÄüe galizische ErzÌÄå_hler im Exil [Four great Galician Novelists in Exile] : W.H. Katz, Soma Morgenstern, ManÌÄå¬s Sperber und Joseph Roth. Frankfurt, 2005. ISBN 3-631-53001-3.)
Soma Morgenstern's legacy contains five letters from JJ to him, the first one from July 1946, the last one from 30 July 1958.
If the letters Morgenstern had written to Jean Jaffe still exist somewhere, I would be very interested to read them. Maybe somebody could advise me about the chance. Also I would like to know if somewhere is a photo on Jean Jaffe is still existing.
