There doesn’t seem to be a sender.

As for the recipient I entered (but I’m not sure at all)  
PASTUCH, Larion  
village: Tschernjotka  
district: Dschulinka  
Winniza - Ukraina

Could it be these places?  
Dschulynka/Джулинка, a village in the south-east of Winniza.  
According to [wikipedia](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dschulynka) Tschernjatka/Чернятка is part of the same commune.  
According to [.wikidata Q4514532](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4514532) the two places are only about 6 km apart.

Could this be the sender: Sawelij PASTUCH ? (writing to a relative in Tschernjatka?)

Agree on the place: Чернятка.  
From the content of the postcard and the grammar, I assume it is a woman who is writing.  
Thanks for sharing the list, I didn’t know about that source.

Agree, writing is from woman, but the research on the cemetery is also extremely helpful, thanks!

found a Maria Pastuch (Пастух, Марія) - of course not sure if its here, but the village and the rajon fits.

 ![IMG_1022](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/arolsen_archives/original/3X/7/0/70d35e3b8ed1e8e15f3cae9f0dbe2ef758e09e9c.jpeg)

she writes on 11.02.1943  
_Sister, if only you could see how many different people are here. French,Poles and Ukrainians. Everyone is in misery…_  
card of Maria Pastuch is mentioned as an example for letters (postcards) in which the forced workers express „a hidden pain, an unspeakable longing for family, loved ones, and beloved Ukraine, and a burning sorrow over their unhappy situation.“ (autom. trans.)  
source: [Eastern workers from Podillia in the Third Reich](http://history.org.ua/LiberUA/966-621-137-8/966-621-137-8.pdf) (ukr.)  
p. 198-199

**EDIT** :

no i have doubts, that it is Maria Pastuch - the post stamp didnt fit (did she changed the locations in a pretty short term?)

Maria Pastuch 22.03.1943 Hochheim Main - shared by @routebleue below  
 ![IMG_1143](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/arolsen_archives/original/3X/6/6/66d45f58d338615301c55f2a2eb1a3dadc9e1174.jpeg)  
unknown 06.04.1943 Liegnitz? - (this card)  
 ![IMG_1145](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/arolsen_archives/original/3X/7/b/7bdfb98fc8509b756dcb64e99a308369885aec65.jpeg)  
Maria Pastuch - Rüsselsheim 30.11.1943 - here ([new card](https://talk.arolsen-archives.org/t/marija-pastuch-30-11-1943/32131))

because if its Maria Pastuch (same person) it would mean  
Hochheim Main (22.03.1943) - Liegnitz 06.04.1943 - 30.11.1943 Rüsselsheim  
This doesn’t make sense to me, or I’m missing something here
