Hi TinaT and welcome to #EveryNameCounts
This card is a DP 3 Card for Displaced Persons, and is only one of a handful of documents created for each registered displaced person.
Upon departure from the camp system, (some of) their records were destroyed in a portion of the cases. And this was written down on the DP3 Cards, which are more like an overview of the person, where the full DP Files contain a lot more information on the person and the family.
If you are interesed, in this case the following documents survived:
- one DP 2 Card - https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/de/document/66866662
- one „Arbeitsamtkarte“ - https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/de/document/75886056 (Created by the Germans before the end of the war)
- French Zone DP Registration Card - https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/de/document/77427898
- emigration list 1949 to Canada - https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/de/document/81744174 (this is the evidence that his records were destroyed because he was no longer in a DP Camp)
- a handful of compiled list of his (forced) residence in Germany (https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/de/document/70811334, https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/de/document/69814584, https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/de/document/69814787, https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/de/document/69972299)
An example of a surviving DP file for another person can be found here: https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/de/archive/7-7-2_7721200

Thank you! I stumpled about the „record destroyed“ very regulary so I was wondering what that could be. Now I’m a bit smarter, many thanks!
