ID Card of the Polish Residents Association in China
Identification card of the Polish Residents Association in China issued to Abraham Aron Krieser, Judaica.
Issued February 1943.
He studied at the Mir Yeshiva.

After the start of World War II, the entire yeshiva fled to Vilna in then independent Lithuania.
After the Soviet occupation of Lithuania the yeshiva began looking for a new home and the Japanese consul in Kovno, Chiune Sugihara granted transit visas for the entire yeshiva.
Almost the entire yeshiva left for Japan during the months of January and February 1941.
The yeshiva students traveled to Vladivostok on the Trans-Siberian railroad, and from there, sailed to Japan.
They stayed in Kobe for six months before being deported to Shanghai in the fall of 1941.
Soon after their arrival the students of the Mir Yeshiva were offered a temporary home in the Beth Aharon synagogue on Museum Road.
Abraham Krieser's parents (he was an only child) escaped to Antwerp, Belgium where they were caught by the Nazis and murdered in Auschwitz.
