Hello list members,
Several days ago I posted the message below. I have had several responses and as yet we have not identified the disk. I am writing now to let you know that the image has been posted on the internet and can be viewed at the following addresses.
Large image is at

and a smaller image is at

> I am sending this to several lists. A co-worker has an item that his
father brought home after World War II. They have a lot of questions about
this disc. The ultimate goal is to return this disc to the family if
possible (or if wanted). To start with I think we need to find out just
what the disc is. If any one is interested in seeing an image please
contact me off the list at and I will email the image
to you.

> Here's what I know: The disc was found in 1945 outside of an oven that
contained one body.
>
> The camp was Buchenwald in Germany. The disc is about 4 1/2" in diameter.
It is brown hard plastic with a round disc of aluminum screwed to it.
>
> The name inscribed is Alexander Horrath. The number 10663 is also stamped
above the name. There are several other series of numbers but they do not
have any obvious meaning.
>
> Please let me know what if anything you find out. We would definitely like
to get this to a surviving member of the family if possible.
