Scope & content
Double-sided postcard. On front, are the informations of the receiver and the sender, Halina Grundland and (?) Zilberbogen. There are three black ink circular stamps, two that reads “WARSCHAU” and one that reads “138 / III”. On top right there is also a rectangular purple postage stamp that reads “30 / GENERALGOUVERNMENT” with an illustration of the St. Bridget's Church and the Water Tower in 1940. On back, is a handwritten letter in black ink. Narrative: The Zilberbogen were a Jewish family originally from Warsaw (Poland). Mother Chana and daughters Elzbieta (born 1933) and Celinka (born 1937) moved to Belgium in 1939. The father, Szygmundt, an engineer, stayed in Poland. During the Second World War, the mother and daughters were first sent to Brens camp and then to Rivesaltes camp in the South of France before being released. Chana was then hospitalized and spent the war hidden in a Sanatorium in Mazamet from 1940 to 1947. Elzbieta and Celinka were hidden in various locations in the South of France, including a farm and different children's homes run by OSE. Szygmundt was killed in Poland. Chana and her daughters went back to live in Belgium after Liberation until immigrating to Canada in 1951.
