ОписаниеPostcard from parents, to Jakob Sapir in Vilna, Lithuania, 1940. Censored by Nazis.
Jakob Sapir, his wife Tola and son Peter, travelled in the late 1930s from Poland to Vilno in Lithuania, then on to Moscow. They then travelled from Vladivostock to Kobe, Japan and eventually arrived in Shanghai in 1941. They lived in the French quarter in Shanghai, but were later moved into the Hongkew ghetto. Peter Sapir attended St. Francis Xavier's school, run by English priests, which was outside the ghetto boundary. Jakob Sapir earned a living in Shanghai running a Polish kitchen. The family left Shanghai in 1947, aboard the "Hwa Lien" ship, migrating to Sydney, Australia.

My dear children!
We have received all your letters and today also a letter from SASHA [?] und Sasha[?]
We are well and we are very lonely without you our dear children. I think that Eda [or Edna?] with the child are together with you. I am very happy about that. Please write to us more often. Heartfelt regards to the GENFAPENOWICZ [?] family. ANNA, OSIP, SASHA with family.
Your mother
My dear children!
I am asking mister GOLDBERG he should fulfill JASA and KASZA [to see us? Practically illegible] for which I will always be grateful to him. We want to get to Petrus [up to God?] but don't know how? I would like you to help us along.
I greet and kiss you all
Father
