Scope and Contents
Postcards (1943-1944) were sent by the Seklers from Theresienstadt and stamped in German stating that answers were to be made in the German language only.
NB: Theresienstadt was notable for housing privileged, wealthy classes of Jews, in addition to the aged. The Third Reich utilized the camp, duplicitously, as a showplace for the outside world. It a was the only ghetto or camp to which representatives of the International Red Cross were admitted.
