Fake Identity Card

M1994/004

Donated by Alfred Parker

Alfred Parker, originally Alfred Politzer, from Puchov in Slovakia, used the name and birth date of a non-Jewish school friend, Jozef Sebek, on this false identification card, unbeknown to the friend. The stamps on this document were obtained by bribing a police officer. As an added touch, Alfred is wearing a hat that is typical of the local Nazi youth.

Currently on display in the ghetto section of the permanent exhibition.
