B. Stroh signed on the front

These two postcards were sent in the early 1930s by Dally to his Kallah, Ma from Csorna, Hungary.  One of them is from the engagement of one of Dally's Breuer uncles.  Dally writes, "Die herzlichsten gruse von der vorlobong meines onkels. Sendet, Stroh Edwin" [Heartiest regards from the engagement of my uncle. Sent by Edwin Stroh].

The postcards were then signed by Dally's parents Berthold (Dov) and Sabine (Shvartzel). Many aunts, uncles and relatives signed these cards as well. We have tried to decipher as many of the signatures as possible. Hopefully we will eventually be able to identify all of them and point out their relationships. If anyone can help us we would really appreciate it.

Dally's mother Sabine, was a Breuer, and her grandmother Malvine, was a Gestetner. Members of the Gestetner and Breuer families married each other often. Most likely, this engagement was between a Breuer uncle, Dally's mother's brother, and a Gestetner living in Csorna.
