Can anyone help me with the translation of this postcard? This is the back of a postcard with a young man standing by the wrought iron fence (Uploaded ).

Is the language Yiddish? What language are the letters (Hebrew cursive ?).

I know that the photo was taken in 1922 in Filipow, Poland.

Yes, the language is Yiddish, written in Hebrew cursive.

It reads, as best as I can tell,

As an eternal

memento

for (Frei___; perhaps a name like Fraydl, or the word "friend".

Yehudis/Yehudit Levinstein

Unfortunately, the signature is smudged. I can see the word "from" possibly followed by "your". The last name might begin with "At_____".
