Postcard to Sala Garncarz, in Polish, Sosnowitz, Poland, November 4, 1940
NYPL, Dorot Jewish Division, Sala Garncarz Collection
Dear Sister!
We were very happy to get your postcard, as you can well
imagine. But Sala, don’t think that we stopped worrying
just because we received your postcard—nothing of
the kind, because you write so little about yourself. Write
in more detail. How is the food? What do you eat, when,
and do you like the food? Do you cook? Write as often as
possible! How are the sleeping arrangements? You write that
you have separate beds, do you have covers? Do you have
heating? We are anxious to know everything. Dear Sala, we
certainly want to know everything about you, but one forgets
the right thing to ask, so please fill in whatever is missing.
Sala! We did not send a package as yet, because there was
no time. We will try to send it, maybe tomorrow, as soon
as we find out how.
All is well with us … when Mother received your postcard,
she was the happiest person in the world. May your words
only prove to be the truth. As of now, our brother-in-law
David remains at home. We don’t know if he will leave.
Laja Dina [their sister] and the children are in good health.
You should have seen how Sala [Laja Dina’s daughter]
kissed the postcard from [her] Aunt Sala.
Raizel
