Matilda Cerge's birth certificate

This is my birth certificate. You see it says that my birth was registered at the ?Old Synagogue.? [Editor's Note: It is interesting to note that the form itself was a form used for Christian babies and information concerning their christening. Those referances are crossed out and written in it, it says ?name given?. There are stamps from the Jewish community.] The document itself is from 1935. It was issued in order for me to register in the first grade of school.
