LS in German, signed “Oskar,” one page on the reverse of a 3.5 x 5.5 postcard, no date but postmarked Menden (Sauerland), August 20, 1957. Written in the hand of a Schindler-aided Holocaust survivor, a brief letter to Schindler's wife, Emilie, in part (roughly translated): “Happy to see your husband after 8/9 years, remembering Krakow and Brunnlitz." Schindler signs his name at the conclusion. In fine condition. After a string of failed business attempts, Schindler and his wife migrated to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and purchased a farm where they raised chicken and nutria. By 1957, however, Schindler had become bankrupt and returned to West Germany alone—he never saw his wife again. Following a failed attempt to run a cement factory, Schindler relied on the gifts and donations of various Jewish organizations for the remainder of his life.
