Raizel Garncarz
Letter to Sala Garncarz, in German, Sosnowitz, Poland, March 1, 1942
NYPL, Dorot Jewish Division, Sala Garncarz Kischner Collection

In this rapid-fire letter Raizel intersperses references to the observance of Purim, the Feast of Esther, Sala’s birthday on March 5, and receiving money from Sala at last. Looking forward to Passover, the next holiday, she ends with blessings from their parents.
