Another very interesting post, Lynn ( ladydoe )! I don't know about these postmarks, but perhaps a Germany specialist like PostmasterGS may be able to help. Others like salentin or hrdoktorx or mikeclevenger may also be able to weigh in. Let's see who may respond.... |

Interesting lot of cancels. I wonder if those in Yiddish 'Jewish Community Krakow' could be from the Ghetto ? Or copies ? I will try to find something. Lovely lot nonetheless.  |

Hi.
It is written in Yiddish.
Trying to translate .
On the top it is written: "Jewish community of Krakow "
On the bottom is harder to understand.
פאסט is post.
זאמעל is something that have been collected.
שטעלע is like a stand or position.
I'll try to research a little bit more, but this is what I got for now.

Postal service in Krakow ghetto was activated on 29 Apr 1941 by the Judenrat (jewish administrative representatives to Nazis in ghettos).
The service was forbidden by the Nazis somewhere in December that year.

ladydoe, I'm afraid I don't have much to contribute. Most of the items you show are standard commemorative cards. The stamp sets would be placed on the paper/card, then cancelled with a cancel commemorating some event (ex., 1936 olympics, Hitler's birthday in 1940, etc.). These aren't particularly rare. The exception is the one containing the Krakow ghetto box cancel. The cancel was used within the Krakow ghetto, but I can't speak to any details about its use or whether it's genuine.
