Einwandererzentralstelle (EWZ) is German for
Central Immigration Control Department. EWZ50 records contain
processing forms for German citizenship – from Russia - during the
years 1939 through early 1945. They “may” contain information on
families that a researcher would otherwise not be able to find because
of the political situation at this time.
Type of information
available in an EWZ50 document: information on applicant
including - name, birth date and place, last place of residence, name
of parents, name of children and birth dates, marital status, date and
place of marriage, information on spouse and the information on
spouses’ parents, date transported and latest address or camp.
The form usually includes pedigree chart where up to four generations
can be recounted to prove that the applicant was 100 percent
German. There is also a section for the applicant’s story and the
dates of their residences in Russia to the present. Some
EWZ records have pictures of the applicant. These forms (when completed
and accepted) were processed so applicants could go to Germany.
Below
is a portion of a translated EWZ50 record of Anna Remisch – born
Gitlein – from Hildmann, Saratov, Volga, Russia. (For
privacy concerns – I use a record from my own ancestor.)
This
will illustrate to “visual learners” and “non-Germans” what can be
learned from investigating these records (in conjunction with records,
censuses and other methods of research).
Please
note that the Hildmann EWZ Records are in German but follow a
prescribed “format” which may make them accessible to researchers
without a firm knowledge of the German language.
