- 1 page. Personal letter from a mother to her sister in law in Italy, asking her to take good care of her daughter, 6 month old Marika. She is sending her daughter away because she believes she will have a better chance of survival with her aunt. Narrative: Written to the donor by her father. She was to be sent to her uncle and aunt (her father's brother and his wife) when she was 6 or 7 months old. Her father was sent to a forced labour camp in the Ukraine; he died during the war. Her mother was placed in a ghetto, then was later deported to Bergen-Belsen. Marie went with her. Both survived the war.
