Interesting are the printed regulations on this letter. 'Don't send any goods, because one can buy everything in the Lager'. or 'Petitions for release are pointless'.

The letter reads (Inmates were only allowed to write certain things)

Auschwitz, 21. II. 1942

My Dear Wife,

I am astonished that I had no news from you. I received the money. I am healthy and I am working in my profession. What news is there at home? Are the children well? Are they attending school? What is happening within the family? Write to me pretty soon and send money if possible. Regards to the whole family, relatives, Marion [...]

With kind regards [...]
I remain your

Auschwitz concentration camp (German: Konzentrationslager Auschwitz, also KL Auschwitz or KZ Auschwitz) was a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps operated by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland (in a portion annexed into Germany in 1939) during World War II and the Holocaust. It consisted of Auschwitz I, the main camp (Stammlager) in Oświęcim; Auschwitz II-Birkenau, a concentration and extermination camp with gas chambers; Auschwitz III-Monowitz, a labour camp for the chemical conglomerate IG Farben; and dozens of subcamps. The camps became a major site of the Nazis' Final Solution to the Jewish question. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp)
