Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

A forced laborer from Camp Granew requests a change of payee for money sent to someone in Litzmannstadt. Translation: "To the oldest Jew in Litzmannstadt. I am the underground construction worker Willi Kuperberg. I wrote a postcard on 26 Dec 1941, requesting that Mrs. Jochovich be paid; but I am sorry that I have to hold it back. I am requesting that instead Mrs. Davo be paid out. Please excuse me that I changed my mind. Respectfully, Underground Construction worker, Willy Kuperberg Camp Grunow."
