Description
Tan postcard addressed to Marc Oeurelstr with blue postcard lines. Includes a handwritten message.
Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:
Przemsyl is home to almost 67,000 Jews at the time this postcard is written. Under the terms of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, it is controlled by Russians after the end of September 1939. When Germany attacked Soviet Union in June 1941, the Pact with the Soviet Union was broken; and by June 28, under German occupation, a Judenrat is established within a week. By mid-July the ghetto is established. Thus this postcard was written just four months before Operation Barbarosa commenced.
