Lot 841
Two Postcards. Lot of two postcards. 1. In German. One page, oblong octavo, Lodz, March 8, 1940. Picture postcard with cancelled six pfennig stamp. There is a small surface flaw, minor chipping on the printed side and some minor soil but the overall condition is very good.
A poignant note, with hopes for better times, sent to a family in Varel bei Oldenburg(?): "I am very grateful to you for your good wishes on my wedding. When we are all together again in peace then we will all want to (?) again." Next to the picture of three elderly men conversing, our sender has written, "These seem to be the best of friends."
2. One page, oblong octavo, Lukow, Poland (?), 1941 (?). Never mailed, photograph printed as postcard. There is some discoloration and toning, particularly on the address side, pen notations on the address side and a minor pencil mark above the picture but overall condition is very good.
The notation "Lukow, Poland, 1941" on the verso of a picture of a male Jewish population gathered in front of soldiers. The soldier's expressions range from determined seriousness to grins. If this is Lukow, one of the men forced to kneel in the foreground is presumably Aaron Note Freiburg, the last rabbi of Lukow, who died with most of his community in the death camps.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
