property, particularly their furniture and objects of daily use, regardless of
whether or not they have received a resettlement order.
Persons who fail to meet the said deadline for voluntary resettlement
will lose the said rights.
Hence, it is in the best interest of every Jewish man and woman not to
wait for forced evacuation, but to voluntarily leave Kraków before 15 August
1940, preferably as soon as possible.
Permission to travel by train,¹³ identification cards, and all other information regarding possible exemptions are issued and provided by the Resettlement Bureau of the Jewish Community in Kraków at Brzozowa Street 5.
