Pre-War Romanian Passport Issued to Jewish Merchant-Restricted to 1 year validity 1938-39-Rare!

This exceptionally rare Romanian passport, issued July 17, 1938, documents a pivotal moment in European Jewish history. Belonging to Sigmund Mendelsohn, a Bucharest merchant, it predates World War II by just over a year and reflects the intensifying anti-Semitic climate of the era. The 1938 Goga-Cuza government's "Law for the Revision of Citizenship" targeted Jews across Romania, including those with long-established roots in the Old Kingdom. This passport represents both personal identity and historical testimony to the precarious legal status of Romanian Jews during the interwar period's darkest years. A significant artifact for collectors of Holocaust history, Jewish heritage documents, and twentieth-century European political history.
