The Winterhilfswerk (WHW) was an annual drive by the German Government welfare organization to help finance charitable work. The Winterhilfswerk's slogan was "None shall starve nor freeze". It was instituted in September 1933 and designed to provide food, fuel, clothing and various household items to indigent Germans at first, and to war refugees and other civilian casualties in the later years. In many ways, it was similar to the US Foodstamp program.
In the early years of the WHW program, many municipalities were issuing their local versions of the Winter Help vouchers.
These 5 vouchers were issued by the Frankfurt Oberburgermeister for the 1933-34 winter season. Rare!
