About This Item
Print. .. Metal registration card, measuring ca. 6x13 cm. ~ An extremely rare archaeological find of a Nazi Period artifact. Found on location at one of Mittelbau-Dora satellite camps. This metal Nazi Concentration Camp Slave Laborer Registration Card is hardly ever seen outside a display at a museum. These cards, by definition, never left the administration of the concentration camp in which they were kept and after liberation moved to the custody of the memorials and the museums. In contrast, the "Arbeitsbuch", the personal identification document of the slave laborer, was carried by inmates into their liberation and consequently is to be found in abundance on the market even generations later. The metal card was found on location in the soil of the former Mittelbau-Dora satellite camp. It is embossed with full details of a particular inmate. A special machine was needed for producing this. The writing remains almost perfectly legible. The general condition is good for an excavated item, the corrosion, patina, dust and soil remained untouched and bear witness to the period. Reaching far beyond the value of a single collectible of Nazi memorabilia, this artifact is an archeological piece of history and should be treasured as such. (The last photo shows a display of such cards at the Buchenwald Memorial Museum, from Librarium's collection.) --
