The ghetto in Dabrowa in southern Poland was established in the poorest section of town in November 1939.  It remained an open ghetto until August 1942, when liquidation began.

I showed this postcard during my talk at AMREIPEX in Chicago 1986, and after the talk, a gentleman commented that he never heard from his family after he was sent to a camp at the age of 13. However, when he saw this postcard, he recognized that his sister had written it. The next day I brought the card and presented it to him as a gift.
