Red Postcard with black printed text, has handwritted black ink, and handwritten pencil on front, and handwritting on back in black ink. There are six black stamps on the Postcard, five circular, and one rectangular. The rectangular stamp is postmarked with THERESIENSTADT. Alice Rosenburg sent the postcard to her mother Selma Kaufman in Theresienstadt in 1943. The card was returned unsigned by Selma. Selma had probably already been deported to another location by the time the card reached Theresienstadt.

During the war, the family hid in Rogne (Norway) startin April 1940 and in Valdres (Norway) before finding refuge in Malmo (Sweden) in October 1943. They moved back to Oslo, Norway in 1945. Markus died on 1947-11-11. Alice and her daugther lived in Oslo until 1951, when they immigrated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Alice died on 1981-11-02 in Montreal (Canada).
