These are banknotes used in the German Jewish Ghetto in WARSAW. The &quot;Fine Rentenmark is stamped &quot; Jude Warschau&quot; with the Star of David on both sides and on the back there is another stamp with a swaztika and &quot;&nbsp; Konzcrationslager Oramenburg&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This was added to the description of the notes:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The Warsaw Ghetto was established by the German Governor-General Hans Frank on October 16, 1940. At this time, the population in the Ghetto was estimated to be 400,000 people, about 30%[1] of the population of Warsaw;&nbsp; The ghetto was split into two areas, the &quot;small ghetto&quot;, generally inhabited by richer Jews and the &quot;large ghetto&quot;, where conditions were more difficult; the two ghettos were linked by a single footbridge. The Nazis then closed the Warsaw Ghetto from the outside world on November 16, 1940, by building a wall, topped with barbed wire, and deploying armed guards.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1943 the Ghetto was destroyed by Germans. All the people were killed or sent to concentration camps.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>There were different types of banknotes used both in the Ghettos and concentration camps. If anyone has a good link or information regarding these two in particular, I&#039;d appreciate hearing about it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/cm4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/cm3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/cm2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/cm1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/ccm4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/ccm2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/ccm3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/ccm1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
