From 1933 to 1944, Swiss asylum was only granted to those who were under threat due to their political activities. Only 252 people were granted full asylum and refugee status during WWII and were allowed to work in Switzerland. The details are unknown, but the work permit in this identification card indicates that Chaim was one of these 252 refugees.

This identity card given by the Refugee Department of the Legation for Dutch people in Switzerland was issued to Ruchla Karasin in November 1944. It could only be used in Switzerland and was not a passport. Narrative: Chaim Karasin is a Russian refugee. He was born 3 December 1913 in Warsaw, Poland, to Abraham Karasin and Beila (Baijla) Fridman (who had both died by 22 June 1942).

- Swiss Red Cross correspondence form for assistance to children. The Red Cross logo is located at top left with on the right a small black illustration of a boy and a girl looking at a Red Cross sign. An ink stamp on bottom reads “CROIS-ROUGE SUISSE, SECOURS AUX ENFANTS / SECRÉTARIAT CENTRALE / SERVICE D’HÉBERGEMENT”. The letter concerns Elzbieta (Elizabeth) and Celinka (Cécile) Zilberbogen’s request to be hosted in Switzerland. It was sent by the hosting service of the Swiss Red Cross and was received by Mrs. Robert Vaucher in Bern. Narrative: Elzbieta (Elizabeth) and Celinka (Cecile) Zilberbogen were sisters and both lived at OSE children's home La Chaumière. After an investigation from an assistant of Thonon, the Swiss Red Cross hosting service considered that they where at ease in that home and therefore didn’t need to be hosted in Switzerland.
