For families separated by deportations and flight, letters were often the only means of keeping in touch. Regular letters brought joy and comfort, while delays caused worry.

In December 1941, the extermination camp at Chełmno was established. It was the first of the Nazi camps that was 'purpose-built' to enact their genocidal policy against Europe's Jews.
Chełmno's purpose was to murder the Jews of the surrounding area and the Łódź ghetto.

On 8 December 1938, Himmler issued the 'Decree for Combating the Gypsy Plague'. Amongst other actions, it ordered the creation of a nationwide list of all Roma in the Reich.
This database would later be used to round up Roma and put them in forced labour and concentration camps... buff.ly/MPd2rT1

These labels translate to say Do not buy from Jews. Whilst their exact provenance is unknown, it is likely that these labels were handed out to encourage the boycott of Jewish shops and businesses.
