This document is a variation of the number card for female prisoners. Some number cards were written on valuables cards, probably due to a lack of paper. This variation is structured much like a number card. However, the transfer date has not been written under the name of the external labor detail. It can be found in the upper right-hand corner instead, unless it is missing completely.

Questions and answers

  • What are considered variations in the e-Guide?

    The e-Guide distinguishes between main cards and variations. The reason for this is that there are sometimes different versions of a single type of document that can vary significantly.

    The documents referred to as main cards in the e-Guide are standard documents that were used especially frequently in concentration camps, DP camps, and for the registration of forced laborers, and about which a good deal of information is available. The Arolsen Archives also hold variations of these documents, however, which served the exact same purpose as the corresponding main cards, but which look different. There are various reasons for this: Some camps used their own individually produced cards instead of the standard versions. In many other cases, individual cards and forms were used before the introduction of standardized pre-printed forms.
