Poster titled 'volkstypen aus russisch-polen' - types of peoples in Russia and Poland. Graphic antisemitic poster with eight photographed pictures of views of Jews in a market, [female] Jewish merchants, an elderly Jewish beggar.
Posters of this type were distributed in Germany and meant for the "enlightened" German people to show Jews 'as they are' where they live among themselves ['Juden under sich'], images such as these always filled the antisemitic Der Stürmer as well as Berliner illustriete Zeeitung, accompanied by virulently inciteful antisemitic articles entitled "Jews Among Themselves."

![Threatening Leaflet Calling on Jews to Come to Sur-Marne [France] to Register their Personal Details. France under Nazi Occupation, September 1940](https://winners-files.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/112yoav-public/49.jpg)
Avis aux Israelites - Notification for Jews.

France 1940.
France was conquered by Nazi forces in June, 1940. It was divided into the German occupied territory in the north and the west; and an ostensibly independent state in the south, called Vichy France, due to the fact that its government sat in the free city of Vichy. The new French state, headed by Henri Philippe Pétain, established a regime of cooperation with the Nazis, and maintained a passive and submissive policy, including cooperation with the extermination of its Jews.

Yellow fabric patch in the shape of a star of David with "Jude" written in the center, late 1930s or early 1940s.
According the German Reich regulations, beginning in 1938, every Jew in occupied German territory was required to wear a yellow patch. The patch had to be at least 10 cm, shaped in the form of a star of David, and have "Jude" written in the center. According to the instructions, the patch had to be worn over the garment on the left side of the chest, or on the upper right arm. Jews who forgot the patch when they went out into the street, or wore a patch which did not meet the instructions, were officially expected to receive fines or imprisonment. At the entrances to the homes in Warsaw, warnings were posted against forgetting the armband. In an announcement by the Judenrat on July 26, 1941, it was reported that "according to the authorities' warning, Jews who do not wear the yellow patch on their chests and on their backs will be harshly punished - including death by gunfire." The countries where the yellow stars were most commonly used were Germany, France and the Netherlands.

ID pendant for a Jew in the Sonderkommando unit of the Stutthof death camp. The front bears his personal number: 396 and the inscription "Stutthof Block A" with a swastika on top. Star of David on the reverse. Rare.
The Sonderkommando special unit was the unit which dealt with the casualties of the destruction in the gas chambers. The Jews worked in this unit by forced labor, and their job was to remove the corpses from the gas chambers and to burn them in the crematoria. After functioning a number of months, the members of the Sonderkommando itself were executed and their corpses were removed by the next unit in turn. The swastika symbol on the pendant marked them as "workers" in the service of the Nazis. The star of David on the reverse identified the worker as Jewish. Historian Hermann Langbein wrote "By order of Adolf Eichmann, most of the Sonderkommando personnel were executed after each perpetration of execution, because they were aware of Nazi secrets." The situation of the Sonderkommando personnel was incomparably better than the rest of the inmates, as testified to by a survivor of Auschwitz and member of the Sonderkommando, Josef Zacker: "We knew no lack - whether in clothing, food nor sleep. We did not suffer from starvation or lack of sleep, we had clothing and shoes for the duration. Clearly, only we, the Sonderkommando, received these benefits, the rest of the prisoners could only dream of them. The conditions in our block were exceptional. We had bathtubs in the crematoria and in our camp blocks. In the crematorium, there was a bathtub in the residential floor. We also had bathrooms in the block."
For the six years of the existence of the Stutthof concentration camp, which was located east of Danzig, near the city of Stutthof, approximately 110,000 people were imprisoned, of which 85,000 were killed. Gas chambers and crematoria were built in the camp in 1943 in order to begin mass executions, as Stutthof was included in the "final solution" of June 1944.

ARBEITSLAGER MITTELBAU means of payment in the Mittelbau Labor Camp rated 64 Choice Uncirculated by the PMG.
KZ-Dora-Mittelbau; [also called Mittlebau-Dora, or Nordhausen] served as a Nazi labor camp during the period of the Holocaust. The camp was located in central Germany near Nordhausen. The laborers were forced to produce V-2 missiles in underground factories. Of about 60,000 prisoners "employed" at the labor camp by forced labor, it is estimated that 20,000 were killed. Exhaustion from the hard labor, terrible sanitation conditions, executions and hunger were the principle causes of death. It was the central labor camp; it had approximately forty sub-camps. The prisoners were left in tunnels 24 hours a day, without seeing any daylight, in very harsh working conditions, with even minimal security or welfare: work for six days in 12-hour shifts. The prisoners suffered from cold and hunger and from the brutality of the German workers.
Although the SS actually ran the camp, the Metalwork company which manufactured the missiles supplied the prisoners with shoes and other items, and the prisoners had the right to buy in a "canteen." It is rare to fine payment means from this camp in this condition.
Payment means for the Mittelblau labor camp [Arbeitslager Mittelblau].
