Description:

This is a letter written from Hindeh, a woman living in Sokoliki Górskie, Poland (a village in the far south east Poland, immediately west of the Ukranian border) writing expansively to inform her aunt in Palestine of family news. The letter covers various weddings, news about children in the family, the family business, and questions about life in Palestine; a postscript asks about something written about Palestine in the newspaper. Sokoliki Górskie had a very small Jewish community and was apparently sheltered from the recent developments of the eastward expansions of the Nazi regime. Written on both sides; written in a Yiddish cursive script.
