The Letter from John Paul II. Vatican, 2000
Daniel Strehlau’s friend, who spent his entire life in a wheelchair and was a devout Polish Catholic, participated in a special audience for disabled people from Poland at the Vatican, which involved direct contact with the Pope. Piotr was the first to meet with John Paul II, allowing him to present the Pope with Strehlau’s documentary films on VHS together with a letter as a gift.

Dear Sir,
In the name of His Holiness John Paul II I would like to
thank you very much for the letter from June the 1st of this year as
well as for the gift, which is your author’s documentary The Jews of Warsaw.
The Holy Father is grateful to God for the spirit of unity and peace,
which infiltrates much more todays into believers of Christianity and
Judaism, as well as all people, who join on different ways the dialog
between these two religions.
His Holiness recommends you in a pray to God, and wish you
more success in the field of the art and in the field of the social
work.
Sincerely
Mons. Pedro Lopez Quintana, Asesor
