Description

Up for auction is a beautiful postcard cover from Kiwerce Ukraine to a female guard at the Lublin ghetto concentration camp , Germany occupied Poland and then forwarded to her at Auschwitz. Postmarked April 27, 1942. Very clear KZ cancels and markings. Interesting wartime cover. Sender is Halina Jarnowska to Anna Schychetsch.
The training camp for concentration camp guards was in Lublin. The addressee was apparently being trained there and after training was sent to Auschwitz, when the postcard arrived at Lublin it was forwarded to her. About 6,000 Ukrainians served as concentration camp guards but postal history around this is very scarce, even fewer of them were women.
Very rare item.
For the serious collector of Judaica and Holocaust related philately this is an exceptional item. Cover is in very good condition
