TitlePostkarte Dopisnice
DescriptionPostcard to Artur Israel Heim, in Berlin, acknowledging the receipt of a package that he sent to his parents, Jacob and Dora Heim in Theresienstadt. The postcard is dated 11 December 1943; the postage stamp pictures Adolf Hitler. The card is signed by Dora Heim, indicating that she received the package. However, according to the donor, Dora and Jacob were already dead by the time this card was sent and the signature is false. If the signature of receipt is false, another person at Theresienstadt may have taken the package and signed the card so that the goods would not be wasted.
