Max Mislow's (1887-1963) German Reich passport, issued on December 29, 1938 by the General Consulate of Germany in Milan, Italy. Max Mislow was the father of Kurt M. Mislow (1923-2017).

At this time in Germany, Jewish Germans and stateless Jews were allowed to use only Hebrew first names and family names issued by the Reich Minister of the Interior. If they didn't choose a new Hebrew name, men were assigned the name Israel and women, Sarah. Failure to take these names was punishable by imprisonment. The first page of the passport lists Max's name as "Israel Max Mislow," possibly because of the forcible assignment of Jewish names.
