Collection of documents and certificates belonging to Imre Fodor (Amir Doron). Most are from Budapest, first half of the 1940s (with a number of earlier or later documents). Hungarian, German and some Russian.
Fodor, born in 1923, studied in Budapest and was a member of the "Zionist Youth" movement. After the German invasion of Hungary he volunteered to assist the Budapest Jewish Council, joining rescue actions undertaken by the Red Cross. Among other things, he was involved in the transfer of forged certificates to those in need, and took part in the release of Jews arrested by members of the "Arrow Cross" party. After the war he took part in the "Bricha" movement. In 1948 he immigrated to Israel, where he served in the IDF and the Israel Police.
This interesting collection of items includes, among other things, official certificates and documents reflecting Fodor's activities in Budapest following the German occupation. Items include:
* "Protective letter" - official document issued by the foreign interests department of the Swiss Embassy in Budapest, issued to Imre Fodor and his mother in October 1944. The document confirms that their names appear on a collective Swiss passport and that they should be considered as carrying a valid passport. Marked with the stamp of the "Legation de Suisse, Budapest" [Swiss Legation, Budapest]. Such protective letters were issued by Carl Lutz, later honored as one of the Righteous among Nations, as part of an operation to rescue Jews which he undertook in his role as vice-consul at the Swiss Embassy in Budapest.
* Two certificates issued by the International Committee of the Red Cross in Hungary (one in the name of Imre Fodor and the other in his mother's name), confirming their residence in a house protected by the Red Cross (on Benczur Street in Budapest). Budapest, December 1944. Marked with the stamp of the "Comité International de la Croix Rouge, Delegation en Hongrie" [the International Committee of the Red Cross in Hungary, Hungarian Delegation], and signed by hand.

The card is signed and includes a photograph of Fodor wearing a yellow badge.
* Identity card issued by the Red Cross, confirming that its owner works in the service of the Red Cross Committee in Hungary and is under its protection. The card was issued in 1944 and includes a photograph of Fodor (though it bears a different name).
