Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Stationery from the concentration/extermination camp Stara Gradiska to Zagreb. Censored with the stamps removed. Stara Gradiska was a notorious extermination center in Croatia, a sub-camp of Jasenovac, specifically constructed for Serbian, Jewish and Romani women and children. Like Jasenovac, it is run by the Ustasia. Inmates were tortured, strangled, starved, and gassed. On one night in late August 1942 -- over a month after this letter was written -- one guard slit the throats of over 1,360 prisoners.
