Two passports of Jewish refugees who escaped from Europe on the eve of the Holocaust, containing a documentation of their journey to Palestine in January 1940:
● German alien passport (Deutsches Reich Fremdenpass), issued to Pepi "Sarah" Neumann in Burg bei Magdeburg, 1935. German and French.
With Pepi Neumann's photograph and personal details, followed by stamps documenting her route to Palestine: exit visa from Germany, issued in Burg on 28.11.1939; transit visa issued by the Italian Consulate in Berlin, dated 22.12.1939, with exit stamp from Germany and entry stamp to Italy via the Brenner Pass, dated 27.12.1939; visa to Palestine, issued by the British consulate in Rome and exist stamp from the port of Trieste dated 28.12.1939; stamp of the mandatory immigration department in Palestine, in Haifa, dated 2.1.1940; and additional stamps.
German alien passports (Fremdenpass) were first issued in Germany after World War I to refugees who fled the Soviet occupied territories to the west. When the Nazis rose to power, they were used, almost exclusively, for domestic travel, and only a few succeeded in leaving German borders using these passports.
Approx. 15 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Minor blemishes. Worn cover.
● French identity card and travel document (France titre d'identité et de voyage) issued to Rudolf Boehmer in Paris, December 1939.
