Small booklet titled "Ausweis der Deutschen Volksliste" with Nazi emblem on cover. Includes biographical information and a black and white photograph of Hedwig Klopocki.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

The Deutsche Volksliste (German People's List) was a Nazi institution whose purpose was the classification of inhabitants of German-occupied territories -- in this case, Poland -- into categories of desirability according to criteria systematized by Heinrich Himmler. “Ethnic Germans,” or Volksdeutsche who were not citizens of the Reich but could claim to have German ancestry, would have priority status in this system.
