Postcard from Camp Westerbork from Louis and Rebecca Degen

Postcard from Camp Westerbork from Louis and Rebecca Degen, which they have sent to J. van der Glas (Sjaak), where their youngest son Marcus (Max) was brought to. In this card they show interest in "your nephew", glossing over that they in fact meant their own little son. The postcard has a wrong date: 1942 should be 1943.
