27 postcards sent by Jewish families from the Terezin Ghetto (Terezienstadt, Czechoslovakia), 1943-1944.
Rare and remarkable collection of designated postcards printed by the Nazi authorities, for use by prisoners in the Terezin Ghetto (presented as a "display ghetto") and sent from the ghetto. The postcards were arranged meticulously in an album, with notes to distinguish between them and to note their development. To the album is added a comprehensive research about the differences between the various cards and about the graphic-typographic differences between the cards. On the first page appear five fragments cut out of postcards from the Terezin Ghetto. Good condition.
