Biographical History

Founded in Geneva in 1936, the World Jewish Council (WJC) is an international umbrella organisation of Jewish communities and organisations.

Scope and Content

The long-term correspondence, mainly with the British Section of WJC, focuses on mutual requests for information and information material on various topics, including the number of Holocaust victims, the past political affiliations of certain German individuals (especially newspaper correspondents), details on the expropriation and persecution of Jews in the Nazi era, and fascism in post war Italy. A recurring matter is the Library’s financial support via an annual WJC’s grant.
