Documents Related to Labor Service. Documents on the Conditions of Labor Service
Labor service was a special Hungarian institution created in 1939 that targetted primarily Jews but also politically suspicuous elements, national minorities and religious groups during the years of the Second World War. The institution of labor service implied labor duties at military units without military equipment. It was gradually extended and became increasingly brutal and deadly. This collection contains a wide array of documents concerning its history such as photographs, birth certificates, graduation certificates and diplomas, military papers (such as service certificates, letters of discharge, promotion certificates, soldier’s identity booklets), documents of name changes, deportation certificates, labor service postcards and other types of correspondence between the labor serviceman and his family members as well as certificates by fellow labor servicemen (the so called bajtársi igazolás).
The basic unit of the collection is a personal file of a former labor serviceman. Not all files contain all types of documents, but a majority of them contain several types.
