Scope & content
Light gray booklet, spine closed with two silver grommets, with 'Certificat D'Identite des Refugies Russe' written on cover. Inside, a photo of the booklet's owner is stapled to a page containing a handwritten form. Proceeding pages contain stamps and signatures from various destination authorities. This is the personal refugee visa of Chaim Karasin, a Russian refugee. It documents his journey from Brussels, Belgium, to Halifax, Canada, in 11 April 1951. 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. Chaim's parents seem to have been discharged from Westerbork holding camp on 12 January 1943. Chaim immigrated to Canada in April 1951.
