Deborah, here is a translation of the preprinted text on the form:

Religious association:
District:
EMIGRANT REGISTRATION CARD
See instructions on reverse
[Column headers:]
1) Departure date
2) Surname
3) Given name
4) Birth date and place
5) Occupation
6) Marital status
7) Citizenship
8) Destination country
Previous household address:

We see that Juda Leib Haber was scheduled to leave the country between 24 Feb and 2 Mar 1941; he was born 5 May 1877 in [Jesien?]; occupation merchant [“Kaufm.”]; married [“verh.”]; citizenship stateless [“stl.”]; desination USA (the addition of “Port.” might mean “by way of Portugal”).
Taube Haber née Heller had the same departure window, was born 23 Jun 1877 in [Wajnilaff?], married, stateless, same destination.
The family’s previous address was Jablonskistrasse 32, Berlin N.O. 55.
The final notation is “H.V. list 24 Feb – 2 Mar 41”. I don’t know what H.V. stands for here.
The significance of “Berlin” at the top of the form is not clear to me, other than that these people were residents of Berlin.

Just a few ideas to add:

To me, Taube's maiden name looks like GELLER and not HELLER.

Also, I suspect that Juda Leib's birthplace is Jasień, Poland, now Yasen, Ukraine; and Taube's birthplace is a misspelling of Wojniłów, Poland, now Voinyliv, Ukraine. The towns are very close to each other, and they are now in the Kalush Raion of the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.
