Identity card of a Jew from Chernivtsi with a yellow badge


Identity cards of a Jew named Theodor Sokol of Chernivtsi - Romania under Nazi occupation - 1942, background of a yellow badge.


Identity card issued by OFICIUL JUDETEAN AL EVEREILOR CERNAUTI - "The District Office for the Jews of Chernivtsi [Chernovich]" with a yellow Star of David illustration on it. On the left is a picture of Theodore. A certificate registration of the Jewish community of Chernivtsi made in accordance with a state law of 1942. The first instructions regarding the wearing of the yellow badge in Romania were given by local authorities. On July 4, 1941, the instructions of the local police chief were displayed on the walls of the town halls in Bacau. In response to questions from military commanders, Micah Antonescu, Ion Antonescu's deputy, instructed the interior minister to have the badge worn by Jews all over Romania. The interior minister issued a circular imposing the order from August 7, a month before Nazi Germany made a similar decision. At the same time, an order was issued to mark the ID cards of the Jews in Chernivtsi territory in a yellow Star of David. The Chernivtsi ghetto was established in October 1941 and, according to Jewish community records, has a full occupancy of 75,000. One of the decrees that characterized Romanian Jewry, especially in the Bukovina region, was to mark their homes with the word 'Jew'. The ghetto was liquidated with the abolition of restrictions on the movement of Jews in the city in October 1943.


Attached is a document accompanying the identity card containing his personal details, occupation, and the permissible and prohibited specifications of the Jew with the certificate (Romanian).
