TitleBescheinigung
DescriptionIdentity card, or Kennkarte, 011785, for Dutch citizen Carel Frederic (Frederik?) Frumau. Written in German and Dutch, this card states that Carel, born 19 May 1905, is a leatherworker/repairer, living in Dordrecht, Netherlands. It bears official Nazi stamps, including one from a prison camp that is incomplete, and was to be carried at all times. This ID card was also required to legitimise a military document postponing Carel's deployment to labour due to the nature of his work (M2008/040:001). A diagonal blue line across the cards likely indicates that it was cancelled at some point. Carel Frumau, a Catholic, and his family helped Jews in South Holland during the war.
