Caption: The back of a postcard sent from Erwin Leser, a German Jewish prisoner in Theresienstadt, to Emma Sandel.

It reads: "Dearest Emma! Many thanks for your friendly lines. I am well and hope you are the same. Did you receive the last postcard I sent? I got a letter from the brothers and all is well with them. Moschkowicz came here yesterday, but I have not spoken with him yet. I am working as a flour sifter in the bakery and occupied in the mornings with this. I have not been able to see your acquaintances. Yours, Gerwin."
