Scope & content
Folded with two holes punched in the bottom. Photo of card holder stapled to front with date of arrival in Geneva (1943-11-2). On back are twin forms in French and Dutch. This identity card given by the Refugee Department of the Legation for Dutch people in Switzerland was issued to Ruchla Karasin in November 1944. It could only be used in Switzerland and was not a passport. Narrative: Chaim Karasin is a Russian refugee. He was born 3 December 1913 in Warsaw, Poland, to Abraham Karasin and Beila (Baijla) Fridman (who had both died by 22 June 1942). Chaim was married to Ruchla Hasfield on 22 June 1942 (she was born 18 May 1910). She was the daughter of Joseph and Malis Hindel. Chaim and Ruchla had four children; Beatrix (donor) (4 May 1941), Helene-Mayriane (15 Mai 1946) Ruth (9 July 1947) and Joseph Ruben (4 December 1949). In 1944, Chaim was described as being 175 cm tall, small, with short hair. At this point he was a Polish refugee, arriving in Geneva on 9 Oct 1943. Ruchla's parents had been deported to Sobibor on 6 July 1943 shortly before half of the camp was killed in an uprising. Ruchla's brother Jacob died in Sobibor 21 May 1943.
