Ghetto Uniejow - Very touching correspondence write Jewish boy and sent to his unkel in USA 1940
Very touching correspondence of a young Jewish boy maybe 12-14 years (it's just a guess after the pattern of the letter and simple sentences that he composes) who writes to his head in the US about any help. The letter was sent from the ghetto in Uniejów in 1940, when the Germans were still allowing correspondence with the outside world. We could not find anything about F.Waldman , this child and can certainly be regarded as one of the perished victims of the holocaust. Very good condition
During World War II, in September 1939, German troops occupied Uniejów. In 1940, the Germans created a ghetto here, towering about 130 families in it. According to one version, as early as October 1940, the Jewish inhabitants of Uniejów were transferred to the Turku ghetto. This ghetto, in turn, existed until October 20, 1941, and then its prisoners were sent to the ghetto in Kowaly Pańskie and then to the German Nazi extermination camp in Chełmno nad Nerem. According to the authors of The Encyclopedia of Jewish Life Before and During the Holocaust, Jews from Uniejów were sent directly to Kowal Pańskie on October 20, 1941, and then murdered on July 20, 1942.
