The following are some additional items we sold:
Scarce WWII Holocaust Railroad Ticket to Auschwitz From Lyon
Scarce train ticket to the most infamous World War II holocaust concentration camp, Auschwitz. Dated dated 30 August 1944, ticket is from Lyon, France and was probably used by an S.S. Officer on his way to the camp or as part of a Nazi trick; rail tickets to the Death Camps were often sold to Jews during the Holocaust with the pretense they were going to ”Work Camps” in the East. The ticket is made from thin cardboard, typical of rail tickets of the era, and bears the date stamped in green and the ticket number in red. Printing on front side only. Item measures 1.25” x 2.25” with expected toning, else near fine condition. Sold for $1,969.
Postcard from a Jewish charity in Nazi-occupied Poland requesting aid for 15 families. Postmarked Warsaw, 24 June 1941, card is also stamped with Konigsberg Nazi postal censor and Jewish Council Warsaw marks. Postcard’s pictorial side is printed with an urgent request in German for relief and provisions for fifteen local Warsaw families. Help is sought from the Warsaw-expat Jewish community in Shanghai by way of HICEM, an emigration organization that assisted 90,000 Jews in escaping Europe during the Holocaust. Requisition translates to: ”Dear Sirs, From your writing 3.IV.41 Nr. 18378 we gather that you have the ability to send packages with food and provisions. We would like to ask you now kindly to send whenever possible food packages to our employees, as they are living in very materially poor circumstances. We have listed the names and addresses below…We hope that you’ll be able to accommodate our plea and are looking forward to your answer as expected by law. [Handwritten signature of a representative]”. Postcard is addressed in type to ”’HICEM’ / 120 Nanking Road, P.O. Box 1425, Shanghai, China”. Opposite, sender’s address is rubber stamped in purple as, ”Judische Soziale Selbstghilfe, Helfskomitee Warschau, Abteilung: Verwandtenhilfe, Warschau, Grzybowski-Platz 10/1”, translating to: ”Jewish Social Self-Help / Help Committee of Warsaw / Department of Help For Relatives”. Body of letter also lists 15 individuals for whom help is needed. Text has a few corrections in ink by an unknown hand. Postcard measures approximately 5” x 3”. Toning, else near fine. Sold for $787.
