[1] postcard, with a postage stamp of "Par Avion" (airmail). The name "Rabbi Shimshon ben Yuda" was printed on the postcard and his son’s name was added in script.
The postcard was sent to Luzern, Switzerland, asking the addressee to study Mishnayos, a Sugya of the Gemora and a Siman in the book Mei Yehuda for the ascent of the soul of their rabbi, Rabbi Simshon Altman and his son.
This postcard indicates the organized activity of Rabbi Altman’s disciples to commemorate him dozens of years after he was killed on Kiddush Hashem.
