Collection of Documents of an Inmate in a Hungarian Labor Camp – 1940s
Seven documents and paper items which belonged to Imre Balu, a Jewish inmate in a Hungarian labor camp. Oradea, Budapest and other places, 1940s (one item from 1958). Hungarian, some Romanian and Russian.
Among the documents are the following:
* Identity card (Polgári Személyi Lap), printed and filled in by hand, issued for Blau in 1941 by Hungarian authorities in Oradea.
* Labor service book (Zsoldkönyv), printed and filled in by hand, issued for Blau in 1943. Contains his personal details and workday schedule signed by the supervisor.
* Postcard handwritten by Blau, sent on May 29, 1944 from the labor camp to another address in the Jewish Ghetto (according to the ink-stamp, the postcard was returned to the sender due to the restriction barring Jews in the Ghetto from receiving post).
* More items documenting Blau's life after the war.
Size and condition vary. Overall fair-good condition. Stains, creases, folding marks and tears to margins. Tear reinforced with adhesive tape along the folding crease of one item. The cover of the labor service book is detached.
