Correct - but using that address may result in a delay of up
to a month in issuance of your receipt. It would be best to
use the address posted at http://www.nizkor.org/funding.html:

Congregation Emmanu-El / Nizkor Project
1461 Blanshard St.
Victoria, BC
V8W 2J3

In the United States, checks should be made payable to:

"SAN ANTONIO AREA FOUNDATION - Nizkor Fund"

and should be mailed to:

San Antonio Area Foundation
Nizkor Fund
P.O. Box 120366
San Antonio, TX 78212-9566

We thank Dr. Mittleman for pointing this out, and thank all of
you who have sent your donations in support of the Nizkor
Project.

The funds you have provided have been used to provide substantial
improvements in service.

Mr. Giwer complained of insufficient bandwidth, and I note with
satisfaction that he no longer does so. I confess, however, that
further improvements with regard to Nizkor's bandwidth will require
a few more months of patience. We regret keeping Mr. Giwer waiting.

Mr. Giwer complained of the lack of adequate search capability, and
I note with satisfaction that he no longer does so. I confess, however,
that the implementation of our second search engine will require a few
more months of patience, as will the full implementation of the first.
We regret keeping Mr. Giwer waiting.

Mr. Giwer complained of the lack of primary source
documentation, so we added 1,387 pages of material comprising
the OSS Hitler Papers. We regret that the addition of another
125,000 pages of primary source material from the United
States National Archives may require another year to complete,
although we trust he will understand that we are working as
rapidly as possible to satisfy his scholastic need. The
German, British, French and Canadian National Archival
microfilm digitization will require somewhat more time, but
we're working on it, and trust to Mr. Giwer's understanding
and patience in the interim. We regret keeping him waiting.

We deeply regret the delay in inclusion of more RealAudio
files - we intend to add a substantial collection of Nazi-era
speeches and motion picture footage within the next 12 months.
We appreciate Mr. Giwer's patience, and regret keeping him
waiting.

Since Mr. Giwer's complaints, as noted above, Nizkor has put
your generous donations to good use, and added an additional 15
gigs of storage and five full mirror sites to our network.

We apologize, however, to Mr. Giwer, as we have been tardy in
our conversion of raw text files to HTML, but we promise to
double our current total of 5,300 web pages within the next 12
months, in the hope it will help satisfy his obvious and
insatiable appetite for knowledge of one of the most onerous
events in human history. We regret keeping Mr. Giwer waiting.

We thank Mr. Giwer for providing us with all the motivation needed
to continue improving our service to the Internet, and for his
daily reminder that Nizkor's addresses are readily available:

Canadian donations should be made payable to

Congregation Emmanu-El / Nizkor Project

and should be mailed to

Congregation Emmanu-El / Nizkor Project
1461 Blanshard St.
Victoria, BC
V8W 2J3

In the United States, checks should be made payable to:

"SAN ANTONIO AREA FOUNDATION - Nizkor Fund"

and should be mailed to:

San Antonio Area Foundation
Nizkor Fund
P.O. Box 120366
San Antonio, TX 78212-9566

In closing, our thanks to Dr. Mittleman for mentioning our
addresses in this context. Please, Sir, feel free to continue
to do so. I'm sure Mr. Giwer will accomodate you by publishing
reminders on a regular basis.

He wouldn't want to keep you waiting, Sir, now would he?
