Included is a “Vollmacht” or, power of attorney Glanz made out to his daughter Gertrud, datelined “Dachau, 14 January, 1939.” Also, a “Reisepass” or passport issued by the Deutsches Reich, the first page of which, contains a letter J for “Jude.” Between the handwritten first and last names “Jakob Glanz” is stamped the middle name “Israel,” de rigeur for all Jewish males under Nazi law.
