Postcard
Written minutes before Yom Kippur in 1941, Raizel asks ominously if Sala has heard anything from Jakub because she has not heard anyting from him in Olkusch. She ends the letter, "the day will come when we will all be happy together in a better life," possibly in reference to the world-to-come in Jewish messianic tradition.

Letter
In the wake of Sala's disappointment with Ala's inability to visit with her, Ala explains that there are sides of her that Sala does not yet know, but that she will soon. She writes that "In the camp, I surrounded and protected you with my warmth," and that her feelings are unchanged. Still, she admonishes Sala for her lack of respect toaward her elders.

Cannot express my joy in words, in spite of my big mouth. Pounding out on typewriter at midnight. Writes directly to Harry, du, writing in German. Ala had an affair and the wife showed up. Remember me.

Incomplete. Things have been in a turmoil. It isn't the administration business to know about the things you mentioned. She's distracted. Might belong with 418
