What to look for

The name field identifies Emil Kohn. The form records information about his birth, work, parents, and wife. For me, these entries connect my grandfather with a record created during his imprisonment.

What this does not establish

This page alone does not establish every camp or work site where Emil was held. Nor does the presence of a date or stamp explain, by itself, exactly which event it records. Those conclusions require other records and context.

About this copy

We have kept this copy in our family collection as “Emil Kohn – Page 2282.” I am still working to match this copy to its exact archive collection and document identifier. “Page 2282” is a local filename, not a verified archive catalogue identifier.
