Scope and Content

The documents were collected by Dr. Wiener and his assistants from the early 1930s, during the war and its aftermath, until the late 1970s. As they constitute the library’s core, these documents were the first to be digitized and accessible online. They include the correspondence and decrees of various Nazi agencies, documents from concentration camps, and documentation of the activities, the life and the fate of Jewish associations, communities, and individuals before, during and after the Holocaust.

This description is derived directly from structured data provided to EHRI by a partner institution. This collection holding institution considers this description as an accurate reflection of the archival holdings to which it refers at the moment of data transfer.

A recommendation to the governments to bring about a real improvement in the lives and prospects of refugees. Orderly immigration should replace disorderly exodus and emigrants should be able to take their possessions and property. United Kingdom accepts both resolutions. Palestine cannot be completely opened to Jewish refugees, because it is not a large country and special considerations arise out of the terms of the Mandate as well as out of local situation, which it is impossible to ignore. Difficulties in Palestine have led to proposals for drastic changes in the political structure of ...

A speech by Sir Neill Malcolm to the Committee about his responsibility as the High Commissioner for refugees. There is litttle room for a large-scale settlement of refugees in any of the countries overseas. There is no hostility towards migrants, but a settlement of a solid block might cause such feelings. Private organizations have until now taken care of refugees as well as conducted research about their numbers. The financing of refugees shall happen with loans from government and private funds.

A letter regarding the Zionists' wish to bring before the Evian Conference the whole Jewish problem and their pressure for the opening of Palestine for larger Jewish emigration. The American government is calling the conference primarily to deal with the problem of refugees from Germany and Austria rather than with a purely Jewish problem. There is no point of turning conference into a Jewish problem and it is better to focus on non-Aryan victims in Austria. According to Bentwich, it seems to be a pity that they Zionist should at this moment stress the need for a much greater immigration in...

The Council for German Jewry was then formed in order to co-ordinate the efforts of the Organizations outside Germany and to meet the aggravation of the social and economic distress of German Jewry. Jews in Germany are economically deprived.
