- Notes
- 1 page, single-sided. Piece of beige paper with the German word Anerkannt - Recognized (trad.) typed on it, with the signature below it in pencil. Narrative: This receipt was signed by the mother of the donor, Walter Absil. Such receipts were issued to give camp inmates the impression that their belongings would be returned to them. Walter Absil obtained this receipt with his mother's earrings, as well as a receipt signed by his father and his father's watch, after the war. The objects had been found by Allied forces in a railroad car full of jewelry confiscated from prisoners. It is likely that the jewelry was confiscated from Margarethe Bondy-Fischer upon her arrival in Auschwitz.
