- 1 horizontal page, single-sided. Folded once horizontally and once vertically. 5 green, brown and white fiscal stamps with value of 30 groschen each affixed sideways in a horizontal row along bottom edge. Scrawled annotation in red coloured pencil at top right corner. Issued by the Tax Office of Brigittenau, Vienna, and stamped by the Foreign Exchange Office. Document is a tax clearance certificate for Salomon Heiss, Sala Hermann, and their daughter Erika, certifying that all outstanding taxes have been paid. Narrative: The tax clearance certificate was part of the bureaucratic machinery of Nazi Germany; it was key to the implementation of the Reich Flight Tax, which systematically stripped Jews fleeing Nazi persecution of their assets. Until October 1941, when Jewish emigration from the Third Reich became illegal, proof of payment of the Reich Flight Tax via the tax clearance certificate was necessary to legally emigrate. The percentage of funds confiscated increased over time, from 20% in 1934 to 96% in 1939. In order to flee, the Heiss family surrendered at least 90% of their assets to Nazi Germany. They fled Nazi-occupied Vienna in 1938, after Salomon was arrested and detained in Dachau for 3 days. They survived the war in Shanghai, immigrated to Israel in 1949, and eventually settled in Montreal.

Narrative: Sima Herman was born in Horilady, Poland, in 1906. She was the youngest of 8 children. Both of her parents died early in her life, leaving each of her siblings a portion of their estate. After World War 1 she moved to Tlumacz, Ukraine, where she attended high school. In 1933 she moved to Vienna with her older sisters. She studied economics at the School of Economics. She met her future husband, Felix, during 1935-1936. In 1938 Sima got a visa for England. She obtained a contract as a nanny and received her British citizenship. Felix was sent to Dachau in 1939 amongst a random group of Jews being sent there at the time. In the same year, Sima somehow got him out and got him a visa for Shanghai. He stayed in Shanghai until 1949 in a Jewish ghetto comprised of refugees. He wrote articles about stamps for a local newspaper. The two were separated for 10 years, at the end of which they met in Israel and were married in 1949. Felix died sometime in the 1990s and Sima died in 1999.
