DescriptionRussian passport, No. 505752, of Mr Leopold Pavlovic Richtman. Born in 1914 in Orlov. Nationality Czech. Passport issued 24 September 1940. Social Status is student. On the 11 October 1940 it states that he was admitted to a psychiatric facility (hospital) in Lwow. It doesn't state if he was admitted as a patient or student, but it is certainly as a student as seen from the Ukrainian document (M1991/017:025) which certifies that he was a medical student in a medical institute. Leopold Pavlovic lived in Poland during the years 1939 - 1945. He was able to secure a certificate of birth and baptism in the name of Leopold Rychtman certified by a Roman Catholic Priest in Lemberg, which allowed him to live under an assumed name and to obtain other documents, which helped him avoid detection as a Jew. He takes up residence in Lemberg and gets a job with the railway working as an interpreter under his assumed Christian name of Leopold Rychtman.
