ostcard sent from Mauritius to Vienna in 1945. Contains a brief, hand-written notice from a detainee by the name of Arnold Neumann: ”Soon traveling from here to the Land of Israel.” The front of the postcard bears the inked stamp of the British censor, the inked stamp of the Military Post, two inked stamps with the words ”Return to Sender, ” and a sticker from the Aliyah Office of the Jewish Agency with the word ”urgent.” (Apparently, the postcard was sent to Vienna and marked ”Return to Sender, ” but seeing as the sender was already en route to Palestine, it was forwarded to the Jewish Agency in Palestine, which in turn handed it back to Neumann.) - The Scans are a Part of the Item description General Tags: stamp , stamps , Raphael , Israel
