Bergman (Hershel Harry Bergman, donor’s father) in Brooklyn, NY; the text reads (in translation), “Dear Son, How are things with you? How do you feel? We are feeling well; the whole family is well! Your brother Jankel is in the POW camp in Germany. Best regards and kisses from your parents and family.
