Today I found a handwritten book from the Nazi German Red Cross containing mathematical instructions.

I went to the local bazaar in my city, which I always go to, and found this apparently very old notebook. Here are its characteristics:

• Cover in aged blue fabric, sewn together with thick twine to hold the pages.

• Written by hand in German up to almost halfway with mathematical instructions, the rest was blank.

• Dedication to the "German Red Cross" and a censored symbol of Nazi Germany.

I'm from Brazil, in the interior of São Paulo state, and I was confused and shocked at how this ended up in my city...
