At top right, illegible signature of controller in red colour pencil. Narrative: Donor is Elaine Kalman Naves, daughter of Gustav and Anikó Weinberger. The card is in the handwriting of Évike Weinberger (1938-1944) and Mancika Mandula Weinberger (1910-1944) -- the first wife of Gustav Weinberger. Both Évike and Mancika were killed in Auschwitz in 1944. The correspondence was under supervision by a controller.
