Food Coupons

The food coupons made it possible to receive small portions of food. There were food coupons for children as well.

The food coupons were generally distributed by the Jewish Council which had been appointed to manage the ghetto (the Judenrat).

Food coupons were a precious possession. If a food coupon got lost or stolen, it was not possible to receive any food.
