Letters written to and by Nazi concentration camp prisoners were subject to the scrutiny of extensive regulations: letters had to be written in German and were censored by S.S. personnel; sending money was permitted but packages were not; requests to speak to or visit prisoners were prohibited; and newspapers were permitted but only if ordered through the concentration camp post office. Though inmates could, in theory, send or receive two letters or cards each month, the regulations governing correspondence could be suspended arbitrarily and without notice. Collected here are the correspondences of non-Jewish concentration camp prisoners; in a final blow of 'regulatory' inhumanity, mail privileges were denied to Jews.
