Arbeitsbuch, ausweis, rations...1941-1945

[huddyhuddy]

Hi,

Thought of sharing this very interesting set of papers, all belonging to the same holder, dating 1941 to 1945.
It seems he was drafted to work for the same construction company, Industrie=Bau=AG from Bielitz, that participated in constructing the crematorium at Auschwitz.
Thus, having a special protective status, he obtained rations, stamped with a small sub-camp baring the name Auschwitz and a special work-ausweis too.
Would be interesting to know what he did there and what happened after the war...we may never know.

Neil.

Is that "Bata" as in the shoe company, the logo looks exactly the same as the Bata factory not far from me in Melbourne Australi

Yes, seems to be the same name. There is mentioning on-line that it was also connected to a sub-camp...looking carefully at the bottom of this rubber-stamp one can see the following address: "Werkau....Auschwitz Marktpl. 18 " ?

Could be same factory different barches, different times.
