A letter

An envelope of a letter to Paulina Włodawer, with a Soviet seal in the center of the page with the addresses of receivers: 13 2 41. The address written in Russian (left) and Polish (right). Łowicz / Bialer / Zduńska 32 (name of the street uncertain, difficult to read); below there is a strip with an imprint: Geprüft (checked) and GAPA next to it, with an caption around: Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, the strip is stamped with two seals with gapas. Above the addressee's name, on the left, a fragment of a seal is visible: REGISTER [ED], in the center of this part of the envelope - a stamped number - most likely postal - 582185.

This is the only envelope preserved in the Włodawer's archives - other letters have survived without the envelopes; in this case, the letter itself is missing. It can be presumed that this is an envelope in which a letter was sent from the part of the Bialer family that remained in occupied Poland, and whom the Włodawers knew from Warsaw (and with whom they had contact during their stay in Lutsk - especially with Emma Bialer - when they stayed in Lutsk after escaping from Warsaw, and with whom they remained in contact by correspondence - also after the deportation of the Włodawers to Asino; with a relative of the Bialers, Paweł Żelechowski, a cousin of Emma and Tutek Bialers, the Włodawers escaped from Warsaw in 1939).

The letter from this envelope could have been handed over by the Włodawers to Emma Bialer (Bogusławska) in the USSR or in Poland after the war.
