This collection contains death cards of the deceased in the Warsaw ghetto, which were handed over to the Jewish Historical Institute in the 1990s. This consists of more or less a tenth of all cards issued in the ghetto counting 10,052 names, while before the liquidation in 1942 about 100,000 people died. The cards were prepared by the Health Department of the Jewish Council for the Statistical Department of the City Board in Warsaw. The cards were completed and signed by Jewish doctors in the ghetto, mainly from 1941. Note: Digitized cards are available online on the JHI website.
