Driver's license of a Jew from Linz (Austria), after the lifting of the ban on Jews driving vehicles - June 1946
Fuhrerschein - Driver's license of the Jew Fraydmann Josef to drive a "motor vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine". Linz, Austria, June 12, 1946.
The personal details of Josef Fraydmann, born in Russia in 1924, appear on the front. The license is stamped with a hand stamp and ink stamp of Linz Police Chief Christel Amstaker, as well as an ink stamp of Linz. On the right, the passport photo of Josef Fraydmann holding a lamb in his hands.
Hitler arrived in Linz, his hometown, on March 12, 1938, where he gave his first speech on Austrian soil, and soon began a wave of arrests of Jews, confiscation of Jewish property, and even the deportation of some Jews to the Dachau concentration camp. Anti-Semitic regulations were enacted – Jews were forbidden to sit on a public bench in Linz, or to wear traditional Austrian clothing. One of the regulations that went into effect that year was the prohibition on Jews driving cars. Before us one of the first driver's licenses of a Jew, issued after the prohibition was lifted, and the normalization that returned after the war.
