In most European countries, including Germany, everyone had to have an identity card long before the Nazis came to power. Even in the days of the Weimar Republic if Germans spent more than three nights away from their registered home they had to go to the nearest police station, show their identity card and register their intended absence and report their return, too. It was not something that was introduced for Jews ...
The Dutch government provided hiding places for Jews, false identification papers, and ration cards to help Jews evade capture by the Nazis during World War II. They also established networks to assist Jews in finding safe refuge and support.
