- Slovak Certificate by the Local National Council of Bánovce nad Bebravou. It hereby confirms that Bella Fessler, born 14 June 1899 in Bratislava of Israelite religion, had last known address in the district Bánovce nad Bebravou, from which he was deported for reasons of racial persecution to Majdanek in Poland on 27 March 1942. It is likely that he perished there because there has been no news of him since then.

The certificate is dated 30 July 1946, signed by two council’s officials. Beneath is a handwritten note by Jakub Schenk "I witnessed that the abovementioned died in Lublin".
