Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:
The controversial Mr. Wiesenthal, signing the postcard as “Engineer”, is apparently - at the time of writing - convalescing in the women’s hospital at Mauthausen. He arrived at Mauthausen in February 1945, after moving through a number of other camps (Gross-Rosen, Chemnitz, Buchenwald) as the war was ending. He survived at Mauthausen on starvation rations until the camp was liberated by Americans on May 5. He describes some of his experiences to Mr. Grossman.
