This postcard was sent to my husband by his little brother, Mihaly Grunstein, who was doing work service in Hungary, in Budakalasz. It is dated 1944, at that time my husband was doing work service in Borsa, so the postcard was sent there.
Mihaly wrote him he intended to escape, and he aked my husband’s opinion. He didn’t write it explicitly, but my husband understood his intentions. So he answered him, my husband told me later all this, that he should not do this, because his companions left there would be executed.
My husband had two brothers, the oldest, Marton was born in 1909, Joska, my husband in 1913, Mihaly, his little brother in the 1920s.
Mihaly died during deportation somewhere in Germany. My husband tried to arrange that Mihaly would get enlisted in 1943, though he wasn't of the proper age yet. Nevertheless later he was taken to Auschwitz, and he died somewhere in Germany.
