A new law stated that German Jews must adopt a middle name: ‘Israel’ for men; ‘Sara’ for women.
The names had to be used on all official documents.
My dad was imprisoned in Dachau as the deadline approached, so his father traveled to Berlin to get it done.

My dad’s passport with a J stamp, 1939 👇🏻
On the inside pages is the Leave to Land at Dover stamp that saved my father’s life on the Kitchener Camp rescue.
That stamp is where I took the title of the Kitchener exhibition from.
