Letter postmarked on January 29, 1941, from Dachau concentration camp, written on January 26, 1941, by Heinrich Dawicki, age 34, to his parents in Lodz, Poland

Dear parents, I am healthy and happy. I always think about you, my dears, are you healthy as well? Many thanks for the money I received; I got 15 Reichsmarks on my name-day. I was extremely glad about little Terenia who in the last letter also wrote a few lines. I am also curious whether she has also gotten big yet, and whether she is going to school? What does she look like? Dear parents, father is working with Bidermeier, and is Mama working too, and where? Dear Janek and you, sister Marysin, write to me please whether you are healthy and whether you are continuing to work. Are you healthy? What is Staskuzeski up to with his wife Matyrsia and children? Are they all healthy? Dear Mama, write to me about what Aunt Kosia is up to. Is she living in her house? How is she doing? Dear father, how is the woman living on Aegielniana Street across from the park? The house stands a little off to the rear. I do not know its name. Dear father, I am curious whether she will come to you. How do Mr. Mund Mr. Freitag and Luniok view the case? When will it be taken care of? Dear parents, I am very bored without you. And when will I see you? In closing my letter, what is Uncle Wald up to? Does he still live there and is Josiek at home? Jesek should write to me. What is new at the Muschynski’s? Did you get the things from them? I send a thousand greetings and kisses to you, dear parents, and Genia, for all the acquaintances and relations.
