Description

A letter written in blue cursive on light blue paper.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Someone (only initials given) had visited the city of Lodz (known as Litzmannstadt during the German occupation) and reports to Julius Streicher's violently antisemitic tabloid Der Stürmer that there are many Jewish schools, Talmud Torahs (primary school for boys). One, on 10 Jacob Street, is dedicated to a Rabbi Mirjel (?), whom this writer suspects is involved in a "secret" Torah association.
