Kennkarte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kennkarte (Polish: Kennkarta) were identity cards introduced by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland (General Government). They were issued primarily from 1941 to 1943. Forgery by Polish resistance was common.
Color of a Kennkarte was based on ethnicity. Poles had gray ones; Jews and Romas, yellow; Russians and other non-Polish Slavs blue.
Other important documents in Nazi occupied Poland included:
- Ausweis, Arbeitskarte, Bescheinigung - issued by the workplace
- Erlaubniskarte - issued for the entertainment workers (actors, etc.)
