D-171 Work Document Grouping for a Female Worker,
Aniela Jaruzel
An interesting set of three documents for this Polish woman born in
Warsaw, with one being post-war – this offers a unique continuation of her
history, which seems to have started in September of 1944. One of the documents
is a folded card, measuring a little over 4” high by a tad under 6” high.
The card came from some sort of camp, but which (or the type) is not identified.
The card entries give “Name”, First Name, born on: “7/24/1913”, in:
“Poland” (Aniela was born in Lublin); Citizenship: “Pole”, Native
language: “Polish”; Language Skills: “Polish”; Marital Status:
“Single”; Children: / ; Occupation: “Saleswoman”; in Germany since:
“9/13/1944”; Began work at the Camp: “9/21/1944”; Released from the
Camp: (blank); Employed by: Firm of: “Schumann & Co. W. 35”. So, we know
that she had come or been brought to Germany (Leipzig) in September of 1944, and
was employed at an unknown “camp” at a company named “Schumann Foundery”
that was operating there. Another, slightly smaller card is the actual company
identification (titled “ID for Factory Employees”) issued to Ms. Jaruzel
(spelled with “S”), on 9/23/1944. The photo has been removed, but the card
is in fine condition. The last card is actually folded, heavy paper, with the
entry headings printed in English. The card is titled “LABOUR CARD” –
which suggests British English due to the spelling. The card is worn along the
vertical spine crease, but still in one piece. Her “Address” is listed as
“Camp Hemaf”. The card has a purple stamp noting “Assembly Center,
employment office), and the work entries show she was occupied during 1947,
ending perhaps, in 1948. Interesting historical artifacts for a female worker.
