Arbeitslager Jawischowitz, a subcamp of Auschwitz, was located near the town of Brzescze. The inmates of this camp worked in a coal mine belonging to the Hermann Goring Reichwerk. Below are thumbnails of a preprinted parcel acknowledgement card sent by an inmate at Arbeitslager Jawischowitz to the Comite Relico in Switzerland acknowledging receipt of two packages. The card bears a Brzeszce postmark of June 24, 1944. Please click on the thumbnail to see the full image, and then click your back key or "Example 1" in the left frame to return.
