DescriptionA brown coloured German work permit in the form of a booklet that was issued to Karl Heinz Nerichow under the Nazi regime. Entries from May 1935 to November 1938.
This document is significant as it is a tangible representation of Karl's time as an apprentice cabinet maker [M2012/015:002] and covers the full period of his apprenticeship.
Karl’s sister Henriette was sent to England aged 13 in 1938 due to “Kindertransport” - the informal name of a series of rescue efforts which brought thousands of refugee Jewish children to Great Britain from Nazi Germany between 1938 and 1940. Karl made his way to England in 1939 at the age of 17, they both migrated to Australia in 1957. This document is a representation of Australian Jewish history and the Holocaust and its effects on Henriette and Karl’s life.
