Abstract

This is the German ID card of Ernest Loeb. The card itself is a folded fabric material. The front of the card reads "Deutsches Reich Kennkarte [identification card]" and has the letter "J" printed on it. Inside the card is a picture of Ernest, along with fingerprints from his right and left index fingers ("Rechter" and "Linker Zeigefinger"). The ID card is stamped several times with a stamp from the Darmstadt Police Headquarters ("Polizeidirektion Darmstadt"), with the German eagle holding a swastica. The ID was issued on March 8, 1939 and set to expire ("Gueltig bis") on March 8, 1944. Ernest's ID number ("Kennummer"), name ("Name" and "Vorname"), birthday ("Geburtstag"), place of birth ("Geburtsort"), job ("Beruf"), identifying marks ("Unveraenderliche Kennzeichen"), and any other identification ("Veraenderliche Kennzeichen") are listed. There is also a paper stamp valued at three Reichs marks on the ID.
