- Postcard format card, blank front, space indicated on back for sender and addressee information, stamped T.R. on back. Sent by Sigmond Kohn to Mirko Kohn in Stanis?awów, Poland, who was in the labor battalion at the time. Narrative: Mirko (Imre) Kohn was married to Balazs, the President of the Maccabi sports club and city bank. Her husband and their child were killed during the Second World War. Mirko competed in the National Soccer League Jewish club in Zagreb, Croatia. She chose Zagreb because Yugoslavia was preparing for a major competition in British Mandate Palestine. During the war she was in a labour battalion. In 1943 her unit was shipped by train to the front, in Stanislav, Poland. They were told 'We are lucky to be staying here -the Russians have crossed the Don River and can't go any further.' Her unit was invited to the home of a Polish man whose wife was Jewish. They requested help in rescuing 8 Jewish men. Mirko went with him via a small train to the entrance of a mountain top coal mine where the Jewish men were hidden in a dug-out shelter hidden under tarps and leaves. This was in November. Though she was only allowed to send one postcard home (per week, month?), she sent two using a friend's name. Her friend found out because the card was returned with the address crossed out. Mirko received postcards from her brother Sigmond, her sister-in-law Bela, and her Uncle Istvan. Any card Mirko was allowed to send went to her parents. After the war, she married a man from Konisa who had also lost his family during the war.

Narrative: Mirko (Imre) Kohn was married to Balazs, the President of the Maccabi sports club and city bank. Her husband and their child were killed during the Second World War. Mirko competed in the National Soccer League Jewish club in Zagreb, Croatia. She chose Zagreb because Yugoslavia was preparing for a major competition in British Mandate Palestine. During the war she was in a labour battalion. In 1943 her unit was shipped by train to the front, in Stanislav, Poland. They were told 'We are lucky to be staying here -the Russians have crossed the Don River and can't go any further.' Her unit was invited to the home of a Polish man whose wife was Jewish. They requested help in rescuing 8 Jewish men. Mirko went with him via a small train to the entrance of a mountain top coal mine where the Jewish men were hidden in a dug-out shelter hidden under tarps and leaves. This was in November. Though she was only allowed to send one postcard home (per week, month?), she sent two using a friend's name. Her friend found out because the card was returned with the address crossed out. Mirko received postcards from her brother Sigmond, her sister-in-law Bela, and her Uncle Istvan. Any card Mirko was allowed to send went to her parents. After the war, she married a man from Konisa who had also lost his family during the war.
