Description

Tan postcard with printed green postcard lines and decorative border. Addressed to Dr. Nathan Grunburg. Return address has a handwritten Star of David next to it. Includes a message written in blue ink in Yiddish.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Postcard, written in Hebrew to a Dr. Nathan Grunburg, with handwritten Star of David-perhaps a requirement to identify him as a Jew; with Slovakian stamp with Josef Tiso's picture. The latter was an antisemitic priest, and a fervent Nazi supporter, who deported Jews to death camps. Tiso was executed for his crimes after the war.
