Scarce train ticket to the most infamous World War II holocaust concentration camp, Auschwitz. Dated dated 30 August 1944, ticket is from Lyon, France and was probably used by an S.S. Officer on his way to the camp or as part of a Nazi trick; rail tickets to the Death Camps were often sold to Jews during the Holocaust with the pretense they were going to ''Work Camps'' in the East. The ticket is made from thin cardboard, typical of rail tickets of the era, and bears the date stamped in green and the ticket number in red. Printing on front side only. Item measures 1.25'' x 2.25'' with expected toning, else near fine condition.
