- Horizontal and vertical fold divides paper in four. Folds are fixed with tape. Circular official stamp at the bottom left hand corner with number 521 and inscription Austrian census. Notice is not signed. Pencil handwritten notes on back. The notice informs the addressee of the upcoming election for the representation of Jews in Vienna and of the candidacy of the sender for this election. The writing on the back contains information about Franzi (Franny) Goldberger and another person. Narrative: Charlotte Urban, originally called Liselotte Goldberger, was born in 1919 in Vienna, Austria. Her parents were Yaakob and Franzi Goldberger. She lived with her family in an apartment on Staudinger Gasse in Brigittenau, which was a mostly-Jewish area. She considered herself more Viennese, and her first language was German. In a statement she says she remembers when the Germans invaded Austria during the Anschluss. One day, she and her mother were ordered out of their building by the SA and forced to scrub the pavement in front of a crowd. Afterwards the commander wrote them a receipt for their work on a piece of cigarette paper. Charlotte kept it until her death. Her father had made it to England, and was working to get her and her mother visa. He was away during the Kristallnacht. They remained safe because their land lady, Frau Grabner, had a son in the Nazi party and would use that to discourage troops from coming into their room. When Charlotte got her papers her mother decided to stay with her family. They parted at the station, and Charlotte never saw her again. Liselotte later discovered that her mother had been deported to Theresienstadt in October 1942. Charlotte changed her name to Charlotte Goldhill and married Joseph Urban in 1951. She became a Canadian citizen in 1959.

- Form decorated with etching of Vienna town hall in the top centre. One 1 Schilling brown and orange official stamp is glued on the centre left side of the page. Citizenship certificate for Liselotte Goldberger. Narrative: Charlotte Urban, originally called Liselotte Goldberger, was born in 1919 in Vienna, Austria. Her parents were Yaakob and Franzi Goldberger. She lived with her family in an apartment on Staudinger Gasse in Brigittenau, which was a mostly-Jewish area. She considered herself more Viennese, and her first language was German. In a statement she says she remembers when the Germans invaded Austria during the Anschluss. One day, she and her mother were ordered out of their building by the SA and forced to scrub the pavement in front of a crowd. Afterwards the commander wrote them a receipt for their work on a piece of cigarette paper. Charlotte kept it until her death. Her father had made it to England, and was working to get her and her mother visa. He was away during the Kristallnacht. They remained safe because their land lady, Frau Grabner, had a son in the Nazi party and would use that to discourage troops from coming into their room. When Charlotte got her papers her mother decided to stay with her family. They parted at the station, and Charlotte never saw her again. Liselotte later discovered that her mother had been deported to Theresienstadt in October 1942. Charlotte changed her name to Charlotte Goldhill and married Joseph Urban in 1951. She became a Canadian citizen in 1959.

- 32 pages. A small work records book for Koml Musil with a brown cardstock cover. The front cover has a drawing of a German eagle with its wings oustretched and its head turned to its right. In its feet, it is holding a wreath with a swastika in the centre. The title is written above and below the Reichsadler. The back cover has Arbeitsbuch printed in beige. The booklet was used until April 15, 1945. It has many ink stamps on the inner pages, all of which are from Vienna. Narrative: The German eagle is a symbol that has been used throughout history. Its most prominent association is with the Nazi Party. The traditional German eagle used by the Nazis was depicted standing atop a swastika, which was placed inside a wreath of oak leaves. It is sometimes called the Iron Eagle. When the eagle's head is turned to its left, it is a symbol of the Nazi Party and is called the Parteiadler. In contrast, when the eagle's head is turned to its right, it is a symbol of the country (Reich) and is called Reichsadler. After the Nazi party came to power in Germany, they forced the replacement of the traditional version of the German eagle with their modified party symbol throughout the country and all its institutions.
