Description

Judaica: 1941-42 Three registered covers/postcard sent from London by a relative to a female Shoah refugee detained at the Mauritius Beau Bassin prison, scarce. About 1500 Shoah refugees, mainly from Slovakia, Bohemia-Moravia, Austria, Hungary and some other Eastern European areas were not allowed to enter Palestine (based on the fact that they have arrived from enemy occupied territories) and were therefore sent on two ships to Mauritius, where they were held imprisoned for about four years.
