A train ticket from Stettin to the Auschwitz concentration camp - July, 1944.
A train ticket from the town of Stettin [Poland] to the Auschwitz concentration camp during WWII. July 27, 1944. Extremely rare.
In most cities, Jews were forced to buy travel tickets prior to their deportation to Auschwitz. (See examples of these travel cards at the Yad Vashem Museum).
During these months of 1944, the extermination in Auschwitz reached its peak: from mid-May, the Jews of Hungary began to arrive, and their extermination lasted until July 1944. Among the last Deportation was a Deportation from the Lodz ghetto, which was the last ghetto in Poland and Corfu.
In 1942, the port of Stettin served as a station for transporting Norwegian Jews to Auschwitz. World War II destroyed 65% of the city, and during the Holocaust most of the city's Jews were murdered.
Size: 5.5x3 cm. Very good condition.
