Sender is Peter Javorka.Great item for the serious collector of Judaica and Holocaust postal history. Unlike the German nazis, Romanian fascists were vicious and anti semetic but did not embark on the wholesale extermination of Romanian Jewry. For several years between 1940-1944 the Romanian regime imprisoned Romanian Jews who were not skilled workers in forced labor camps and used them as slave laborers. This cover was sent by one of the unfortunate prisoners in these camps. Postal history items from these camps are scarce and rarely seen.Shipping is $5 in the US, $14 overseas, registered mail fee included. Questions?
