BeskrivelseJewish forced labour identity card, in German, Russian and Polish, issued to Mojzesz Chaim Jacobi by the Employment Office, Warsaw. It states that the Employment Office is mobilizing Jewish labour in accordance with the relevant decree. A round-up of labour in the street shall not take place. Inside, the card is set out like a table, with columns in which to record the name of the employer / company, the type of work or service performed, the first day of work, activities undertaken, end date of work, and the stamp and signature of the employer.
Part of a collection of 19 documents related to Mojzesz Chaim Jacobi (Marian Jacobi), born 29 September 1913 in Łomza, Poland. He studied medicine at the University of Strasbourg, where was awarded the degree of MD in 1938. He returned to Poland and in December 1939 he married Erna Lindenszat, born 1921 in Poznan, Poland.
The family was forced to relocate to the Warsaw ghetto. In 1941, his father and sister, along with her daughter, were caught in a round-up, deported most likely to Treblinka and never seen again. Marian and Erna and her mother escaped from the Warsaw ghetto to the 'Aryan' side just before the Ghetto Uprising of April 1943. They survived in hiding in various places.
From September 1940 to October 1940, Jacobi was employed as a doctor in the Belzec camp (one of the forced labour camps set up prior to the construction of an extermination camp). In March 1941 a letter from the Warsaw District Chamber of Health advised him that he was permitted to practise only in the Jewish district, wearing an armband with a red Star of David and the word 'Arzt' (doctor). From July to September 1941 he was employed in the Krankenhaus Czyste (Czyste hospital, Warsaw). In July 1942 he was ordered to serve in the 'Ambulatorium' (Outpatients Unit) at the Umschlagplatz, wearing an armband with the words 'Judenrat in Warshau - Umsiedlungsaktion' (Warsaw Judenrat - Resettlement Aktion) (M1991/015:013). He was employed by Schultz & Co as a factory security guard from 12 August to 30 November 1942 (M1991/015:014a &b). He fought with the Polish Army on the Eastern Front from September 1944 until August 1945. Post-war, he received numerous awards and decorations for the liberation of Warsaw and Berlin, and for general service in the war against the Nazis.
In 1946, he and his wife Erna, Erna's mother Anita Lindenszat, Marian's sister Zofia and their mother Rebecca Jacobi, received permits to emigrate to Australia. They departed from Marseilles on the 'Monkay', arriving in Sydney 11 February 1947. Marian's medical qualifications were not recognised in Australia, so he had to re-qualify as a medical practitioner in Australia. In October 1952, aged 39, he took the Oath of Allegiance to Australia. He had a medical practice in Orange, before moving to Sydney, where he was in practice until his retirement in his early eighties.
