- Two sided printed form to send letter from concentration camp. Recto is printed with mail related rules, the recipient's address is handwritten on right hand side, on top right is a red postal stemp with Hitler's profile and a circular postal ink stamp with the date and location. On verso is handwritten a letter dated 1943-07-17. In the letter, Dawicki thanks his parents for a parcel, with stamps and money, that they sent to him. Narrative: Letter was sent from Heinrich Dawicki, born 1914-04-20 to his parents in Lodz (Litzmannstadt). Dawicki was not Jewish, he was a haircutter and he was arrested by the Gestapo on 1940-05-20 in Lodz. The reason of his arrest is unknown. His prisoner's number in Dachau concentration camp was 11707. Prisoners were allowed to write letters to their families, but only in German language and at most two times the month. The letters were censored and mentionning the situation in the camp was not allowed. The contents of all the letters sent are therefore very similar. Heinrich Dawicki was liberated on 1945-04-29. We don´t know what happened to him after. In the Concentration Camp Inmates Questionnaire from 1945-07-20 kept in the Dachau memorial archives, he claims to go back to his family in Lodz.
