    Romania, being part of the Axis allied countries, issued special identity papers for their Jewish population as well during the war.
    Most Axis countries trying to get closer to Germany expressed their intent by legislating ant-Jewish decrees and regulations similar to those created by Germany earlier before the war, for example the Nuremberg laws and those that followed. If one wanted to get close to Hitler, what better way to signal this by following his footsteps?

    Ironically, they same system of signaling was used in 1943-44 when they wanted to distance themselves from Germany, once the war was clearly obviously not going their way, by reversing earlier ant-Jewish decrees: this was done in order to signal to the winning side, the Allies, of their desire to get closer to them.

    Here we kind find 3 ID cards issued to Jews in Romania, being issued by the offices put into place to deal with their "Jewish Problem". One was issued in order to exempt its holder from "public work", or work-battalions or forced labor work for the country.
    Most are signed by Romania's Jewish-Affairs "Minister" Radu Lecca.

    Would be very interested to located additional interesting WW2 ID's and Ausweise's.
