Two Identity Papers issued for Jews – Westerbork Transit Camp – Netherlands, 1941

Two identity papers (Auszog a. d. Kennkarte) issued for Dutch Jews in the Westerbork Transit Camp. Westerbork, 1941. Dutch.
The documents (two single leaves, printed and filled in by typewriter), issued for Marta Kuglmann and for Julius Nussbaum. The documents contain their personal details, passport photos and dates of their arrival and departure from the camp. The letter "J" is printed in the top margins of each document and the official's signature, the camp ink-stamp and a pasted stamp appear in the bottom margins.
The Westerbork Camp was one of the two transit camps established by the Nazis in the Netherlands, from which they intended to deport the Jews to the concentration and extermination camps in the East. From 1942-1944, more than 100,000 Jews were deported from the camp and only 5000 survived.
The name of the owners of these papers appear in the list of survivors released in the city of Targowica in 1945 (see the USHMM website).
