Geschichte darüber, wie ich das in die Hände bekam: Besuch Budapest und ein alter Typ mit seinem Antiquitätengeschäft hatte viele Relikte der Kriegszeit. Ich habe das gesehen und war sehr fasziniert, seit ich in Asien aufgewachsen bin. So begeisterte ich, dass ich dies ohne die Erkenntnis gekauft habe, wie dies aufgrund des Krieges gelitten oder verstorben ist. Zunächst einmal tut es mir leid, wenn dies beleidigt ist. Ich denke nicht, dass es angemessen ist, von etwas zu profitieren, das nur für andere Leiden bedeuten könnte. Aber ich habe es schon gekauft. Vielleicht kann man genauso gut mehr darüber erfahren und dieses Stück vielleicht sogar mit seiner verbleibenden Familie verbinden. Ich würde alle Informationen nehmen, die ich dazu bekommen konnte. Dank im Voraus! PS: Ich poste dies nur hier, weil ich Erwähnungen von Wien gelesen habe. Oh und ich habe versucht zu posten r/wien Aber mein Beitrag wurde ohne einen Grund entfernt, der irgendwohin erwähnt wurde. Danke!

I think you should try to reach out to a museum (maybe someone with better knowledge could help here). This is a pretty cool find and they may be interested in it.
Don’t worry, it’s nothing bad. It’s basically just an official Curriculum Vitae. It list things like name, address, place of birth etc. Also vocational training and previous occupations.
Yeah because you want translation, r/wien and r/Austria aren’t providing translation services.
Here is everything you need to know: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbeitsbuch Oswald Janecek, to whom this document belonged, died 11 years ago: https://www.friedhoefewien.at/verstorbenensuche-detail?fname=Oswald+Franz+Janecek&id=094WGC3%3ETP&initialId=094WGC3%3ETP&fdate=2014-01-14&c=044&hist=false
You should give it to a museum or maybe the DÖW. The other post probably got removed because Swastikas are illegal to show in Austria. Because of that you should be careful and not wave it around in public.
The depiction of national-socialist symbols is in general – with exemptions – considered a criminal offense in Austria and Germany. So don’t be surprised that the post was deleted.
What you have is a work book in the form in which it was obligatory for every employee/worker in the German Reich since 1935 and became obligatory in Austria from march 1938 upon integration into the German Reich. The Reich was transforming into a planned economy in preparation of war and the work books were a tool to monitor and steer the available workforce into sectors that were deemed important by the regime.
Before 1935, workbooks were obligatory for non-adult trainees / workers and were meant to protect them from unfair treatment. An employer was prohibited to employ non-adults without a workbook.
At least I can tell you what the book says as far as I am able to read it.
I can not read the name of the Person correctly I red „Obuarlo Janeiek“ – thats not correct for sure
Born: 17 Sept. 1925 in Vienna / Deutsches Reich
(Interesting because it says „Deutsches Reich“ and „Wien“ because when Germany occupied Austria, Vienna was called „Ostmark“ as far as I know)
Berufsausbildung (Vocational training) was Commercial Employee in a machine factory (Maschinenfabrik) in vienna (sadly cannot read the name from the factory) but it seems like he was there as a „Lehrling“ (apprentice).
The Stamp on the last Picture is from „Arbeitsamt Wien“ (Employment Office Vienna)
NSFW! WARNING! NSFW! WARNING! WEOW WEOW WEOW
If you ever post a picture again, redact the swastika. In Austria it is a criminal offense to show it. If this gets taken down you know why, and can or may repost it with the symbols blurred or blackened out.
I’ll have to look where we put it but I have one of those from my great-grandmother.
Little fun fact – at least it’s like this in “my” book – they continued to use them after the war and the fall of the regime. She got entries in there a few years after ‘45 from her employer.
Here is the Wikipedia article to the “Arbeitsbuch – [Employment record book](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment_record_book)”.
It’s basically a little booklet they wrote down where and what the person did work.
This person was “Kaufm. angestellter” – „commercial Clark“, not married and was born and lived in Vienna.
It was called an „Arbeitsbuch“ (working book) and was mandatory for every working age citizen.
Basically a state issued Curriculum. It contains personal data like name, adress, nationality, vocational training and previous employers. Back then, if you want to work at a company you had to show this book to your new employer and you needed permission from the former employer.
Other countries like Slovenia used such books up until the 2000s.
Thank you all for replying! I’m glad to have found more knowledge regarding this relic. Very interesting but I hope I can get in contact with the family. I’ll see what I can do!
