Work cards from Westerbork transit camp

Two work cards belonging to my grandparents, Rosy and Sigmund, issued at the Westerbork transit camp and dated June and August 1943.

At Westerbork, both were assigned menial labour. Their duties included collecting and sorting beans and pulses and assisting with the distribution of food within the camp, tightly controlled tasks that formed part of the camp’s daily routine.

Rosy’s work also included sorting scrap metal.
