The Union of German and Stateless Anti-Fascists in the Netherlands is providing vertification that Rudolf Gerson was enrolled in the organization September 1945 after thorough examination of his political attitudes during war. He was anti-Nazi and his attitudes and activities were beyond doubt. It acknowledges the danger involved in his providing of false papers for the underground movement.
