    1942-44: Concentration camp letters (3), two folded letters, one with engraved 12 Pf Hitler (Mi 788) sent from Miroslaw Rybycki to Biłgorai (well documented veteran of the Pilsudski Legion) "Geprüft 3 K-L- Auschwitz"; the other folded letter from 1944, with 12 Pf Hitler typo printing (Mi 827) from Lesław Dolinski sent to Puławy with censor cancel "Geprüft 11 K-L- Auschwitz" and the third item, an envelope from women camp Ravensbrück with letter-sheet from famous Maria Rotkowska, author of concentration camp poems, to her mother or sister Maria Sucheni in Gidle. The letter sheet misses the precise camp address of Mrs. Rotkowska (has been cut out - censored?), the envelope is franked with a pair of 6 Pf Hitler stamps. And has camp censor mark, the envelope has been a bit rawly opened.
