BACKGROUND<\/strong>: In 1938, Heinrich Rothmund, head of the Swiss Federal Police for Foreigners, urged German authorities to introduce a distinctive red “J”<\/strong>\u2014the infamous “Jewish stamp<\/strong>“\u2014into the passports of German citizens who were Jewish. On October 5, 1938, a decree was enacted mandating the inclusion of a printed capital “J”<\/strong> in these passports; consequently, all existing passports held by Jewish citizens were rendered automatically and immediately invalid. Holders were given a two-week window to submit their documents to the authorities; a passport would only regain its legal validity for international travel once the red “J” had been stamped into it. Following this addition, those affected were subjected to a distinct administrative treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION:<\/strong> A first-model German passport issued to a Jewish citizen, bearing the “Jewish stamp” (“J” or *Judenstempel*). Pages 2 and 3 contain the individual’s personal information.<\/span><\/p>\n
