About 30 certificates, documents and forms, documenting the life of a Jewish couple in Poland after the holocaust. Warsaw, Lublin, Szczecin and other places, 1943-1950 (most items are from the second half of the 1940s). Polish. Some German, Hebrew and Russian.
These documents and certificates belonged to Norbert Majewski and his wife Sofia Nina, and they include an interesting documentation of Jewish life in Poland after the holocaust. Among the documents: Identity Card (zaswiadczenie tożsamości) given to Norbert Mjewski on 23.8.1945, with his photograph; certificate issued by the Central Committee for Polish Jews (Centralny Komitet Zydow Polskich), given to Norbert Majewski on 28.12.1945; Three registration cards (Karta Rejestracyjna) in the Polish Tax Authority (Urzad Skarbowy), from the years 1947-1948; two certificates (Zaświadczenie) on behalf of the Israel State representative in Poland (Poselstwo Państwa Izrael), from 1949; Two identity cards (Dowod Tożsamości) given to the couple by the Polish Government in 1949 (with their photographs and personal details), with various border stamps (used, most probably, by the couple as passports); and more documents. In addition, the collection includes a "Service Card" (Dienstausweis), issued in 1943 for another family member, by the German authorities in Warsaw (with his photograph, personal details and Nazi Germany ink-stamps).
Enclosed: "Mein Lebenslauf" (My Biography), two typewritten pages (German), detailing the biography of Norbert Majewski from the day of his birth until his arrival in Israel; three documents issued to the couple in Israel.
Size and condition vary. Fair-poor overall condition. Stains, creases, folding marks, tears and open tears at margins (some long). A number of items are torn lengthwise or widthwise.
