Postcard written in blue ink. Front is printed with offical mentions. Card is addressed to Sandor Newman and stamped in Budapest 1944. At the back is handwritten a message from Sandor's wife Elizabeth and glued a b&w photograph of a little girl facing a wall, playing with a toy baby carriage and a doll. The girl is their daughter Judith at age 3. Narrative: Sandor Neumann was conscripted in July 1943 to work in the copper mine of Bor (then Yugoslavia), a forced labour camp managed by the Hungarians. He worked in the kitchen and at cleaning. Sandor had received this card while he was interned at Bor and kept it on him at all times. In 1944, some prisoners were shot by their guards. Before shooting the prisoners, guards made them undress and this card was left behind in Sandor's clothes. Sandor was shot in the arm and used urine to desinfect his wound. He was then marched to Germany, where he was interned in Dora, Flossenburg and finally Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where he caught pneumonia. Sandor survived the camps and came back to Hungary in October 1945. A Red Cross' radio annoucement informed Elizabeth Neumann that a card belonging to Sandor had been found. He was able to go and pick it up himself. Sandor Neumann was born in Karcag (Hungary) on 1908-11-29, he was raised by an uncle in Debrezen after his parents' divorce. Elizabeth (donor's mother) was born in 1911 in Oradea Mare (Romania), her father immigrated to Ksujszallas in Hungary in 1913. Sandor and Elizabeth were married in 1938. Their daughter, Judith, was born in 1941 in Budapest.
