Handwritten postcard in German sent to Chaim Raedl, an internee at the Tatura Camp, Victoria, from his son Willi and daughter-in-law Judith in Tiberias, 1941. The postcard is in response to a letter received from Raedl, which reported that he was in good health. Willi provides an update on his young son and the wedding of Judith's sister. He also asks if his father has heard about his opportunity to emigrate. The other side of the postcard, with the address details, consists of an unsigned message wishing Raedl a healthy, happy year ahead.
