Schutz Pass signed by Wallenberg
Budapest: 1944 november 8. 1 p. 21 x 30 cm. One page, folded, with the seal of the Royal Swedish Embassy, signed by the head of department and Raoul Wallenberg.
Presumably, the beneficiary survived the Holocaust thanks to the letter of protection. Dr. Weinberger Elemérné Robitschek Viktória Irma (1904–1976) came from a Czech Jewish family (her father Sigmund Robitschek [1862–?] and mother Berta Milrad [1866–1921] were born in Kutná Hora). Her husband, Dr. Elemér Weinberger (1893–1961), was a lawyer, in 1928 he was a member of the board of the Textor Cloth Factory in Budapest, and in 1946 he changed his name to Vikár. His name entered the news in 1932, because he recognized József Engel, a fugitive document forger who had also traveled to Africa, in Vienna. Vikár died in 1961, while his wife died in 1976, both are buried in the Jewish cemetery on Kozma Street.
Very rare, we haven't seen any other Schutz Pass like this.
Typewritten letter from the Royal Swedish Embassy granting a protective passport to Dr. Elemér Weinberger, born Viktória Robitschek, resident of Budapest. Raoul Wallenberg's signature in pencil in the lower left corner. This passport was addressed to the Army's Women's Work Squadron.
