This postcard from Sala’s cousin Blima Feldman offers news of Blima’s family as well as of other Garncarz siblings living in Wolbrom, where the Garncarz family had lived prior to moving to Sosnowiec. It bears the stamp of a German administrative district called the General Gouvernement, which was occupied territory not annexed to the Reich.
