German WWII-occupied Bohemia Moravia postal card from inmate in Prag XI, Schweringasse (Czech: Schwerinova) 1201, Block 1. This address is a Gestapo office used to address mail for inmates in the Hagibor forced labor camp portion of the Jewish Ghetto in Prague, where mixed race couples ("Arian"/Jewish) were interned. Censor-handstamped "Antwort nur mit Postkaren in deutsche Sprache" / "Answer only on a postcard in German language" and ZENSIERT. Note the numbered words on the reverse. At this time only 32-word responses were allowed, so each word is enumerated. Hagibor (I've read) is a Hebrew word for 'Strength', and was a Jewish youth soccer club before being converted into a makeshift concentration camp. Late use in the February 1945.
