Identification Papers and Related Documents, 1939-1947
[Back to Formatted Version]
Brief Description:

This record group is comprised of the following materials: German-Jewish prewar identification papers, stamped with "J' and marked with the Nazi-established indicator of Jewishness, the middle name Israel or Sara; and work permits and identification papers issued in the German-occupied territories. Also included are documents which stand out because they were forged to serve as "Aryan" (non-Jewish) identification papers, enabling the Jews to assume false identities. These identification papers, issued for an assumption of a false identity, include work permits, birth certificates, and personal identification documents. Additionally, there are two related collections, which include organizational correspondence and Jewish badges.

Materials are digitized.
