Scope & content: Handwritten one sided note, pencil on paper Narrative: This letter was written by Bajla Kaminski (nee Bajla Podolcka), the donor's mother. It is presumed to have been written and thrown out of a deportation train leaving Malines, Belgium. The note was picked up and mailed (or brought) to the address written on the note. This address was the home in which the Kaminski family had been hiding before they were denounced and arrested. Bajla's daughter, Sara, was given this letter after the war. Bajla Kaminski was deported on January 15, 1944 on transport XXIII from Malines to Auschwitz concentration camp. She was presumably killed in Auschwitz.
