Stamped and posted envelope. “Zürich” Stamp on back.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

The Swiss government would attempt to limit the numbers of refugees seeking to enter neutral Switzerland fleeing Nazi persecution. Many would be placed in labor camps and would be required to work, perhaps an effort to appease Nazi Germany. Refugees themselves would try to arrange for release to other countries like Portugal or South America. This cover was mailed to the Materials Section of Jewish Aid for Emigrants in Zurich from the Workcamp for Emigrants in Liestal.
