An NS warning from November 1943 or 1944 for the grandmother of the author in Frankfurt: Unfortunatly, after reviewing the contribution lists, I had to find out that you still have no idea about the sense of the Victims Sunday. The amount subscribed by 30 or 50 pfennigs is not a victim, it's only a ridiculous tip. I remind you to the Stalingrad fighters, as well as fathers, sons and brothers at the front who are giving their lives for us at home and for Germany's future. For this reason, I directed to you this reminder and are hoping that you will not leave the community of the people. I'm expecting that you will give a victim at Victims Sunday in future - because it is about to be or not to be.
Heil Hitler, signed Becker, Head of cells (lowest NS leader for a block of buildings)

Explanation of the author:
A warning as member of the community of the people could be called for violations to the People's Community. These included the shopping in Jewish shops, to small donations, as a house owner not to make enough housings available, etc.

In the Nazi state the righst of the community was above the rights of an individual.

After the warning, if a person once more rejects against the community of the people, it was a case to the Gestapo (Secret State Police) and was made punishable by imprisonment.
