Letter written in Hebrew, with Rabbi stamps in three different languages: Hebrew, Polish, and Russian. Rabbi Goldbaum, who was born in 1867 in Hrubieszow, Lublin, Poland, but resided in Kiev, Ukraine, was one of the more than 33,700 Jews murdered in a single operation over a two-day period at Babi Yar on September 29, 1941. Marched to the outskirts of Kiev in small groups, the victims were stripped, forced to lie in the ravine and machine-gunned. Rabbi Goldbaum, who had four children, was 74.
