Original registered airmail cover sent in 1950 from K.K.L. (Keren Kayemet LeIsrael – Jewish National Fund), Montevideo, Uruguay, to the Legal Aid Department, IRSO, Frankfurt am Main, in the American Zone of Germany.

1️⃣ Philatelic value: Franked with definitive issues of Uruguay (2×20c Artigas + 8c Lavalleja) totaling 48 centésimos, tied by Montevideo cancellations. Registered and airmail labels, with clear Frankfurt arrival postmark dated 18.9.50.

2️⃣ Historical / Judaica value: The sender, K.K.L. (Jewish National Fund), was and remains a central Zionist institution. This cover documents the active role of the Uruguayan branch in post-war Jewish aid and international correspondence, linking South America with Europe in the aftermath of WWII.

3️⃣ Social value: Addressed to the Legal Aid Department of IRSO in Frankfurt, this piece illustrates the reconstruction efforts and Jewish community support networks across continents during the 1950s.

This combination of Jewish National Fund origin, post-war Germany destination, and registered airmail transmission makes it a significant postal history item for collections of Uruguay, Judaica, Zionism, or post-WWII aid and reconstruction.
