Re: Concentration Camp Letters and Receipt
A fine collection. All original examples. The piece with the small illustration is very nice. PM on its way with regards to values.

Re: Concentration Camp Letters and Receipt
A very fine collection!
Do you have any "Polenlager" or other "KL Ravensbrück" paper ephemera in your collection such as this one?
This letter looks like it was dated December 1941— a few months after my grandmother who was KL Ravensbrück prisoner no. 5953 transported from Warsaw in April 1941. I think prisoner number 8429 was part of the batch issued to first large transport of inmates from Pawiak prison in Warsaw but I will check on this.
update:
Unfortunately No. 8429 is in a block of numbers missing from the data between no. 5766 (part of transport form Bydgoszczy and Suwałk) on 15 April 1941 and starting again with no. 9064 a German prisoner transported 20 January 1942. As only 60% of the records survived it is not surprising to find large gaps in available data. I have added no. 8429 into my reference book

This one pictured is the only one I have for Ravenbruck. I don't see too many around and found them har to come by.

Re: Concentration Camp Letters and Receipt
KL Ravensbruck examples, whilst not as common as Dachau letters for example, are not that difficult to come by. At any given time, most of the larger camps are represented by a few examples on the market.

Re: Concentration Camp Letters and Receipt
If anyone has or comes across any Ravensbruck letters with prisoner name and no. I would appreciate if they could make a note of the details and drop me a PM so I can update the existing data
I am updating the dataset published in Ravensbrück: kobiecy obóz koncentracyjny by Wanda Kiedrzyńska

Re: Concentration Camp Letters and Receipt
I'm very late joining this discussion ... and probably too late for my words to have any weight. I was just wondering whether you have ever tried approaching any archives -- I would imagine many institutions would be interested in acquiring these documents.
On a more personal note, I am wondering whether you have by any chance made scanned copies of all of the documents and whether you would be willing to share them? I am working on a text (of creative writing, but based on and involving research into family history) and I would be very grateful for access to documentation.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum.
Re: Institutions acquiring items.
Unfortunately, the majority will only accept donations, which sadly never see the light of day, but remain locked away in storage.
