1942, Very rare Ghetto Litzmannstadt cigarette ration card for Jews! Used condition but perfectly readable, it has the title "Der Aelteste der Juden in Litzmannstadt" both in German and Hebraic. This was given to those Jews within the Lodz ghetto that were smokers. This one was issued to one Wekser Szymon. On the lower part it is written the name of Chaim Rumkowski, the elder of the Jews in the Ghetto and a very controversial man even hated by many Jews.
