Biographical History
Beginning in 1954 The Wiener Library and the Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) in Munich worked jointly on an edition of documents (Dokumentenwerk) regarding the persecution of Jews in the Nazi era. Initiated by the Ministry of Interior (BMI) and funded by the Federal Agency for Homeland Service (BHD) this project was part of larger journalistic endeavors by these two authorities to fight and prevent Antisemitism in West Germany. Due to ongoing problems the Dokumentenwerk was cancelled eventually in May 1963.
Dr Enno Bartels was an official at the BHD working at its administration and finance department since the organisation's founding in 1952.
Scope and Content
The correspondence concerns financial, legal, scheduling, and organizational details related to the Dokumentenwerk project. Contained are a list of expenses (1955), two German and English money orders, and a brief internal memo (1959).
