Jewish Prague

Yaacov Edelstein

The first Jewish elder, Yaacov Edelstein, also sent an admittance stamp authorizing the sending of one package to the Terezín ghetto. The stamp was addressed to Heinz's father, and the package was then prepared and sent to the ghetto by Heinz.


Why did even the most powerful figure in the Terezin ghetto, the Jewish elder himself, send an admittance stamp to Prague authorizing the sending of one package to the ghetto?
