Description
Tan postcard with green printed postcard lines. Includes a handwritten address to Jenny Levy from J. Birman. Message handwritten in black ink.
Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:
Censored postcard from an inmate at Litzmannstadt (Lodz) Ghetto to Hamburg marked "Zuruck" (returned to sender) probably due to contents. This postcard was sent from S. Birman in Litzmannstadt to Mrs. Jenny Levy, in Hamburg. "My dear Aunt Jenny, your kind card we have received and we were glad you are well. This evening we invited Mrs. Suess, since she is very nervous and her heart is weak... Also Gust? Spiegel and aunt Elma Rosenberg we spoke to. We received both letters from Uncle Arthur. Father and I work G.S.D. (?) and are momentarily very occupied. Kindest greetings and kisses from all of us. Your Werner."
