They Opened Their Aunt’s Safe And Found Relics From A Disturbing Era

Redditor seltsame just inherited a very old house from her mother’s aunt Greta. She was born in East Prussia in 1921, but fled to Germany in the 1940s.

Along with the house, seltsame inherited a creepy metal chest. She knew that Greta had lived an interesting life, but she didn’t know that it was on this level.

A postcard with the Nazi symbol stamped onto it. Precious.

This card is from 1944, and it reads, “A house destroyed by the enemy.”

Wait…what?
