Augen, oder die Maschine nicht so gatlmit. Icii sc reibe Dmen auf e ine/im

Wir waren befreundet^ Andrerer Fre^uid war Herbert Walter, der in der Mansarde

ein Herr Gramatte, der der S ^ - -^-v
Partei) anghorte. Herr Gram-mtte vn^rde von den Nazis abgeset7/t, und Herr Kirs te nahm
seinen Platz ein. Das war natürlich nachdem ich bereits im Gymnasium war.
Meine Eltern beschlossen mich auf das •♦Realgymnasium am. Zwinger " zu schicken.
Ein sehr gofcsser Teil von jüdischen JuriRen ging zum Johanwi sg^rmnasium, so dass
dieces dei Spitzna-ien "judanenm^hatte. Erstens w )llten meine Eltern das nicht und
zweitens wollten sie laicht, dass i.ch e' ne Klassische Erziehung mit Griecliisch usw.
habe 1 sollte (Latin macht mir ge-iug Schwier i g'-eiten) . Ich war dort für drei Jahre, ix
d.h. Sexta, Quinta, Quarta. Mein Klassenlehrer war ein Stndieiiat Dr. PieTJder.
Er hat mich immer genauso wie alle anderen Studenten beajindelt. Jedoch nacn dem
3o. Januar IO33 (nicht bevor) kam er mit dem Parteiabzeichen angestec^'t znm
Gymnasium. Auch andere Lehrer behandelten mich immer nett und korrekt.
Einer Dr. Fleiscimann, war unser Mathematik^Lehrer, war off e-siclitlcih ein
Reseve Offizier. Unser Lehrer für Franz. war anscheinen ziemlic^h anti-nazi, denn
er macj.te einen sc^ecrlich lahmen "Deutschen Gruss" wenn er in^di.e Klasse kam.
V/ir waren etwa 60 in dei- Klas: e, aber i cli kan*>mioh an wenige erinnern.
Ein PreM!;d von dierer Zeit war han 1 Eugen JoDpich fioHn der Konditorei Jopnich
am Hofchenplatz. Er liess jeden wissen, dasG er diesen Nazi Kr-om nicht mitmachen
wollte. Ich vers'-che noch heute herauszufinden was aus ihm wurde. Er hatte u. a. eine
sehr gute Stimme, Weiterhin e-its 'nne ic h mich, dasiwir ei'en nen netten Junq-en
hatten, Hayek, der aus der Tschecfioslov\ei kaJi. Ein anderer v/-ar ein gewisser
Liebrecht ( Ich glaube vch erinnere Tic^h r iclitig an seinen I'Ta'-ien. Er war ein
kleiner (vor Gestalt) Nazi, und ei.nes Tag"es als wir im Hallenschwimmbad waren
stiess er mich von hinten in d.^.s kleine Basin im Hallenschwimmbad.

Bevor der"Hachtergreif ung" sta^id ein Hitglied des Reichsbaners (SPD) a/^ de^r Ecke
Vor dem Gymnasium. Ich unterhij^t mich mit ihm. manchninl und als man die "Eiserne JtTJsM^
Front" (Versuctn die Nazi abzuwehren bei der SPD und anderen Center Parteie^J) V a.V:t,e.
kaufte ici: mir das Abzelc.'ien von ihm, die drei Pfeile. Ich trug sie nie
irjier Schule, ab er|irgend jemand muss es gesehen haben, und eines Tages wurde ich
von mfeberen Mitsei ulern, die Naz^vwaren angefallen, die versöhte^ mich zu ver-
prügeln.^ Was mich rettete war das dies in der Kantine stattfand, wo der Hanmeister
des Gebändes Kdlch verkaufte. Ich war ein guter Kunde. So grifi? er ein, Mud jagte
die anderen Burrchen weg.
Einmal stieg ich in die Strassenbaiin ein und stand auf dem P^h»'<rii, wo aucV'r einige
altere Studenten vom Zwinger standen. Einif^e ädere Schulr ?m en nach der Starssenbahn
gerannt und grollten etwas , d.h. machte»tarm u^ noch einzus '.eigen. Worauf ein
gewisser Kerana, einer der Sohne der Masciiinenfabrik Kemna ihnen ""zn^rmef:
"Rbhe, benehmt Euch nicht^wie Juden". Als ic^h das hörte bot ich-^i^n ihm eine
hereinzuhauen, wa? ihn m^iisierte, da er bedeutend grosser und älter war, und von
dann^an waren wir auf etwas fre-uidlicher Bais, d.h. . wir a%sste- un$. Er wohnte
schra-T gegenüber von uns aiif der Eiohendorf Strasse.
Ein zieTxLich widerlicher Klas^sen.kamcrad war ein gewisser Wiener, Sohn der Fami Me
der das Hotel "Goldenen Gans" in Breslau geborte. Sie waren me'nes Wissens getaufte
Juden, W-1.S er vielle'cht nicht wusste, oder vielle'cht war zn dum^n um zu verstehen
was er tat. Jedenfalls sc* on bevor 1^33 organisierte er in der Kiis^e seine eigene
"Hitler Jugend" mit anderen 5 - lo Mitsc! nlern. Vfas aus ihm später wnrde v/eiss ich
nicht.

Ich wanderte a- I5. Dez. 193B aus, nachdem ich vom 10. Nov bis 5. Dez. verhaftet
und im Kz. Buchenwald war. Freunde in Holland besorgten mir, und anderen
Kameraden vom Auswandererlehrgut die Einreise räch Hollad, und einen Platz
im Werkdorp Wieringerwaard in Norholland .
Ende 1939 erhielt ich ein "resident visa" für die USA unter "Agric:^ural prefe-
rence quota. Das wäre eine Bestimmung des Einwan derungsgesetz^.der US« zi^ieser
Zeit wo man "Agric^.tural Preference" bekommen komte, wenn man einen la/ndwirt-
scha^ftlichen Besitz in den USA hatte. Wir hatten natSrii<^alle kein Geld und noch
weniger Devisen. Jedoch ein reicher heBr William B. Thalheimer, der etwas für die
Hitler i'luchtlinre tun wollte und in einer Weise, dass sie nicht in New York
hangen bleiben würden, kaufte eine Farm in Nottoway County, Virginia
Dann beka^men wir (nur die Manner. Das Gesetz galt nicht für Frauen) eine
Aktie «on der Firma der diese Farm gehorte. Sie war nSthts wert aber
erfüllte die Bedingungen des Gesetzes. Herr Thalheimer war Eigentumer eines
grossen Warenhauses in Richmond, Virgini^a ähnlich wie KdW or Wstadt in
Deutschland. Sein Vater war eingewandert und hort^ass man in Pittsburp-
P^ J^^_,f^^^l^^^^^^^^.^^^eit finden konnte. Sein Englisch war aber so schlecht, dass
er m Peterbm^g, Virginia landete. Diese ütadt ist nur Ä paar Kilometers von

Wie vorher beschrieben, war ich^etwas über ein Jahr auf dieser Farm. Andere waren

in diesen Orten in liinterzi^mern und Mansarden versteckt waren, und da-lurch ubeer-
lebten. Mein "Prisoner of War Interrofration Team" ( Nr. 14; bestand aus 5 leuten.
Drei, einr.ohl iessiich mir in Deutsc land geboren, einer aus V/ien, und ein
gobr^ener A^iorikaner aus Hartford, Connecticut. Da wir evtl. nachts arbeiten und

Zeit nicht erlaubt war. Im Anfang hatte die U.^. Array "lion-fraternization'» BestirT^mungei

Da wir alle gerne Gc! warzbrot es; e>i wollten , beauftragten wir denlokelen Bac-er
und ein scliv/arzes Brot zu bac 'en, was er auci: gerne tat. Es war aber mit den Krleger-

mit uns auf dem ileen und nach ein paar Tagen war es so hart, dass mari jemanden dai*kit

Die meisten Kriegsgefangenen, die ich verhörte waren "cooperative", nitht sehr
feiivdseeling eingestellt, und anscheinend froh, dass der Krieg für sie zu Ende
war und dass sie in Amerikanische Gef^enschaft gerate« waren, nicht in nndere.
Im allgemeinen bakam ich Veine K'lagenvon den Krie,f-:sgfanrenen. Jedoch an e_^inem
Tage beschwerte sich ein junger Pall scVjr^rajäger über den I-^agel an Nalirui^g , wahrend
am selben Tag r:iir ein Zahlmeister er^Larte, dass er bei uns endl^ic: mal

Meine allgemeine Haltung in Bezug auf Deutsche ist dies: Menschen, die etwa alter
aber da sie die Partei unterstutzen unterschrie J^en sie natürlich a*bh deren
Anti-sernitismus. Leute, die am Kriegsende, wie einige l^einer ^reunde gerade
alt genug ware^n um zu verstehen war passiert i?t, ^ber selbst nichts getaühaben,
und die die junger sind, sind naturlich unschuldig. Nun gibt es auch heute
noch in der Bundesrepublik Anti-se :iten und Premden^hasserboWolieb gibt es
überall, bloss das sie in Deutschland mal die Regierung wahren.
Wie ich oben anzeigte über meine Lehrer und auch in mei%m Bericht über Buchenwald,
nicht alle Nazis waren persÖnl^ich^inti-semiten. Viele Menschen von donerJicht nr

P.S. Wie ich Umen arizeigte und wie Sie es ohne Zweifel gemrl-ct haben ,habe
ich diesen Brief geschrieben so wieViir Gedanken auf Ihre Fragen in den
Kopf kamen. Also keine Ora^sation oder Struktur. So kamen mir bevor ich dieses
absende noch einige Gedanken, die vielleicht etwas Interesse haben:
I.Ich bin befremdet, wenn ich Formulare der Bundesrepublik be'romme, die
mSyii fragen wie gut mein Jiddisch war, oder das meiner Familie.
Ich habe das erste Wal in meinem Leben Jiddisch von einer Radio Station
in Philadelphia gehört. Alle meine Familie und Verwandten sprachen
ausschliesslich hochdeutsch. Das selbe ist der Fall für äl/e meine Frei,inde,
ausser, dass einige vielleicht etwas Dialket sprachen, besonders diese die
<Kus Bayern und Wurtemberg kamen. Auch ein Vetter aui^Koln, ?irach etwas
ko'lnisch. Einer meiner Onkels aus Halle/Saale sächselte etwas. Ich glaube, dass
ich immer ein zierlich reines hochdeutsch gesprochen habe, ausser viÄleicht,
dass ich als Schlesier in Breslai , "nee "anstatt "nein" sagte und "Luge" anstatt
Pfütze" Letzteres ist nattirlich Polnischen Urprtmges.
So hatte auch Broslau-Kleinburg, ^wo wir wohnten nichts mit eine kleinen
Burg ZTi tun, sonder (dem oben erv:ah)tn*ten Herrn Kirste nach) kam von dem
polnischen V/ort "Borek" ( oder ähnlich), was ein kleiner Wald sein sollte.
Die Firma "Neustadt (V. IJeuraann " wie oben s
und meinem Onkel geleitet. Ihr Vater hatte
Vor denY. Weltkrieg ginp es der Firma anscVf^.end sehr gut. Auch wahrrend der
Weimar Kpublik ging ed^ler Firma recht gut. Als die Witwirt Schaftskrise
Deutschalnd angriff hatte sie Verluste, aber uberlnte gut. Mein Vater erzahlte
mir mal , dass sie bis zu sieben verschiedene Betriebe hatten, davon wohl
eiiiige in Gef rijpigni ssen. Zu meinen Lebenszeiten hatte die Firma den Haupt-
betrieb in Wunsch.elburg an der Heusclieuer, einen anderen Betrieb
in Gtrehjiifen/Schl esien, wo sie in einem gemi beteten Gebausde arbeitete, das
sie mit dem Winterq^jartier des Zirkus "Sarasani" teilte. Als ich junger war
hatte sie auch einen Gefangnisbetrieb in Wohl au/Schlesien, den sie aber
pater aufgab. Zentrale und Lager war in Breslau, Tauentzienstr. 4 , v/o die
öV^erwäht^j wurde von meinem Vater f/j^t-vl
sir in den Gründer Jahren gegründet. '

Auftrage der Reichswehr. Wann das genau nach der*Machtubernahme aufborte vreiss
ich nicht mehr, aber in den ersten Jahren der Nazi Periode bekam sie n>ch die-
se Auftrage. In Anfang der Nazi Periode lieferte sie mindestens
2o 000 ?aare von Socken an die S.A. Allerdings nicht direkt . Ein guter Nazi
bekam den Auftrag von der S.A. und konnte dann keine 'Quelle finden u'-^sser
der Firma N ^. N. Die Firmdhatte auch betrachtliche Exporte nach
Holland und Schweden. Die schliefen allerdings unter den Nazis ziemlich
schnell ein, da das Ausland uns als eine deutsche Firma boykotierte^.
So gesc; aftlich hatle mein Vater ujnd Onkel bis etvm 193^ nicht zu vial-^lfleiden.
Dann kam der Dr-jck für "Arisierung" und dÖ^ Firmajmusstp das Geschaffhaus
in Breslau and die Firma 4711 verkaufen, wobei der sogenaiTte "Einheitswert"
nicht der "I-lar^:tv7ert" massgebend waren». Die Fabrik usw . v/urde Anfang

3. Ich wandorte aus mehero Monate bevor Juden im Deutschen Reich einen
"Judenstern '* tragen rnussten. So ich wie viele meiner jüdischen Freunde p:ahen
den Nazis ein Problem. Niemand sah so aus, wie der "Sturiror" Juden skizr:ierte,
aber ein sehr hoher Prozentsatz deutscher Juden unterschillefc si ch im
äusseren absolut nicht von der Bevölkerung im allge einen, \lenn Leute nicht
aus anderen Gründen wusnten, dass ich jüdisch war wurde ich niemals angepöbelt
usw. In raeierrm Falle sah* so zie^l^ich /genauso aus wie der"Iiitl erjunge
Quex" in einem Nazi Propaprandaf Lim. Nachdem dieser Film lief gaben *iir einige
Leute sogar diesen Snitzna^nen , aber gluclcli oV ei-weije schlief das sehr sc'inell
ein. Genauste meine Eltern. Mein Vater zu meinon Lebzeiten ro.sierte
immer seinen Kopf, als ob er noch im ililitär wäre. So man konnteliicht
genau^ sehen was seine Haarfarbe eigentlich war. Ich fand jedoch elnnüil ein
altes Bild mit einem etwa 16 jahrigen sehr blonden Jungen nui* einem Ausflug.
Als ic}. meinen Vater fragte wer das wäre sajte er: " Das bin I^ch". Meine
Mutter sah genau^so aus wie die Nazis die ideale deutsche Frau beschrieben.
Sie vrar natürlich hellblond, hatte blaue Augen (mein Vater auch, ich nicht)
und bis etwa 192B lange blonde Zopfe. Ihre Figur war entsprechend.
Auf iperien passierte es manchmal, dass irgendein anderer Herr, ein Feriengast
Ihr den Hof macken wollte, und irgendwie eine Bemerkung über die Juden machte.
Dann eagto meine Mutter/'Interessiert Sie das ? Ich bi.^n nähml i ch Judin"
Das brachte dann meist eine Reihe -von Entschuldigugen, dass sie naturlich
nichts gegen die Juden hätten.
4. In der selben Strassenbahn '.it der ich zum Gymncasium fuiir, fuhren auch
mancViraal einige höhere Polizei Offiziere. Mit eii^2^ dieser Herren hatte ich mich
etwas angfreundet und wir gimssten uns immer und unterhiljg^ten uns auch öfters.
Einige Monate nach der "Machtergreifung" traf ich ihr^i^3er, worauf er m'ch fragte:
"Hast Du auch das Hakenkreuz kraft ige gefeiert ?" Was ich mit einem
Ächllendem: '^Nein" beantwortete. Ob und wieviel wir danch nochmitenader
geredet haben erinnere ich mich nickn
5. loh glaube es war 193-, odei* vi eileicht sc};on 1931, in j.£clgm Falle vor
der ."Machtübernahme", a.lsjin mele^im Hause zwei junge leut^e^l^sie waren ^ ^ctU»e,iA
vielleicht 6-8 Jahre alter al^.ch) und keilten mtÄh für den** Bund der
Kameraden\ Die "KameradexM vraren Teil der deutsch- judischen Jugendbewegung.
Da sie^eiitnen guten Namen hatten und politisch nicht extreme waren, hatten meine
Eltern nichts dagegen. Einer der jungen Leibte war Georg Hadda, Sohn des
vorraalsj^enannten Dr. Siegmund Hadda, der seine eigen Gruppe gri^Sen wollte,
(^er selbst wurde spater Arzt und verstarb vor eitvigen Jahren in New Yorkj
und der andere^war Gunter Holzmann, der darr^s e\.ne grossere Gruppe leitete und
später Bundesfuhrer des "Schv/arzen Fahnlein" war ^Er ist einige acazig Jahre
TJat, lebt in St. Cruz, Bolivia , Casilla 391. Er schrieb kurlich seine
Erinnerungei , die in f^razosisch und spanisch zu haben sind.)
Zu der 2eit da^'.ch in die "Kameraden" eintrat waren sie fast am auf losen.
Wenig spater teilten sie sich in die "Werkleute" eine betont zionistische
GrupT)e, eine sozialistische Gruprte und in das "Schwarze Fahnlein", das sich
zuerst ein Waldnfadfinderbund nannte, und spater eine JugenRschafti
Ich gehört e dem "Schwarzen Fahnlen" an, und wir waren a») Anfag noch ibe
sehr deutsche Patrioten, und verbrauchten viel Energie in dem Versuch Nazi*i
davon zu überzeugen v:as für gute Deutsche wir waren. Wir unterhie'ten auch
Verbindungen mit noch bestehenden Teilen der allgemeieDn Deutrehen Jugend-
bewegunpr wie die "Jungenschaft DJ 1.11.^ V/ir imitierten viel was die 'letztere
Gruppe tat. Die all.n-emeine Juc-ondbewe UTig w^rde von der|rTazii entweder auffiel osst

Harvey Newton
Obituary written by Percy Angress for Costa Rica 's English language newspaper, the Tico
Times .
Agronomist and longtime resident of Escazu, Dr. Harvey P. Newton died on
April 1, at the age of 78. At memorial Services, friends, colleagues and
fellow veterans remembered him fondly.
Harvey was born in 1920, as Herman Neustadt, and was a lifelong friend of
my father; the two met as boys in 193 6 at Gros Breesen, a
Jewish agricultural training school established in Germany to train Jewish
youth in farming skills, in preparation for emigration from Nazi
Germany. As teens the Gros Breeseners gave each other nicknames which they
used between themselves all their lives (a Breesener reunion occurs this
week in the U.S.); thus I always knew Harvey by the name behind his playful
jniddle initial; "Prinz."
Düi^ing the November Pogrom of 1938 Harvey was arrested, together with 24
other 'Gross Breesen boys over 18, and imprisoned in Buchenwald for four
weeks. His writings about these experiences are now in Buchenwald 's
memorial archive. My father and a fellow Breesener secured them entry
permits to Holland, and got them out.
In 194 0 Harvey and other Breseners emigrated to Hyde Farmlands,
Virginia. In 1941 he joined the Army of the United States and served
Europe during World War II as a POW interrogator .
m
After the war he studied agronomy and earned a PhD from the University of
Deleware. He worked around the world, in the Philippines, Bangladesh,
Somalia, Sri Lanka, Cyprus, and Latin America, always dedicating h^s career
to improving food production and quality for the impoverished. He
eventually retired in Costa Rica.
Harvey was my host in 1974 when I took a break from College and traveled in
•drove us all over Costa Rica, proudly showing off its beauty. When I
returned with my family 25 years later, he was still as generous, inviting
us^to stay with him while we got settled, and packing us into his car to
Visit volcanoes and miradors.
Harvey 's friends were numerous and varied, of all ages and cultures, and
this was evident at his f uneral . Whatever our background, whatever cur
connection to him, we uniformly remembered him as generous, honest and decent
He is survived by cousins, included Hans Herman Neustadt, and his
daughters, Suzanna and Rita.

Dr. Sigmund Fessler, Halle/Saale
Dr. Siegmund Pessler, was the father of my

One relative may be Oscar Fessler, a French Citizen, now working in Codta
Rica for the Teatro Wacional. PossiblJ[ his grandfather v/as a brother, but
more probable a cousin of Siegmund Fessler.
Dr. Siegmund Fessler was Rabbi, first in Mannheim, and then for over 25
years until he died in Halle/Saale, where he is buried. There is a letter
\
writtento him by an official df the Ministry of the Interior on behalf of
Wilhelm 11, thanking him for a speech he made, saying good things about the
emperor. He is buried in the honour row of the Jewish cemetery in Halle/Saa-
le. (The Kazis may have destroyed the cemetry).
His docteur dissertation can be found in the i^ew York Public Library on
^2nd Street (possibly also in Chicago). I do not have the title, but it is
something from the Bible_ — about the I880s.

Essen-Kettwig , den 2. 3. 93
Sehr geehrter Herr Newton,
entschuldigen Sie bitte, daß es sehr lange dauerte bis
ich auf Ihren ausführlichen Brief antworten konnte.
Ich bin von Hamburg nach Essen-Kettwig gezogen und so ein
Umzug nimmt mehr Zeit als man selbst glaubt. Abgesehen davon
bin ich sehr oft bei meiner Mutter in München, die heute im
Alter von 85 Jahren oft mit physisch, und psychisch. Krank-
heiten kämpft und deshalb meine Anwesenheit erfordert.
Nun zu Ihrem Brief. Ich hatte nicht unbedingt erwartet, daß
Sie mit meinem Vater verwandt wären, sondern gedacht sie würden
ihn oder seine Familie ev, kennen. Mein Vater lebte lange Jahre
in Breslau teilweise versteckt und meine Großeltern wurden 1942
depo rtiert. Es hätte also nur ev . Verwandtschaft über Cousinen
oder Bekanntschaft durch die zufällige Namensgleichheit geben
können. Ihre Ausführungen sind sehr genau und ich kann niemand
aus der Familip mpinesc \/a-^o-no ry'srs\^ r- r> ■; r^ r> -^ au^j.,, jt
... .ww . ^ w w j. ^ 1 1 «_i v^ 1 1 ooj-Mux n u o o a iiiiii u 1 1 y l i" d u ü n .
Alle, alle sind umgekommen von denen ich über meine Mutter er-
fahren konnte. Es gab eine Cousine Irma Asch, die nach Buenos Aires
emigriert war, aber vor Jahren in Berlin starb. Es soll einen
Vetter in Tel Aviv geben mit Namen Beer, da fehlt mir aber die
Adresse. Ich werde in jedem Fall weiterforschen.
Aus alten Dokumenten die meine Mutter trotz der Flucht aus Breslau
aufbewahrte gibt es einen Auszug aus dem Personenstandsregister
Rawitsch für 1844. Darin wird die Geburt eines Heimann oder
Hermann Neustadt angemeldet. Der Vater Salomon Neustadt, die
Mutter Malchen geb. Höflich. Die Zeugen sind genannt^ mit
Michael Adam (?) und Baruch Kroh . Heimann oder Hermann N. müßte
der Urgroßvater meines Vaters sein.
Ich nehme an, daß es in der weiteren Verwandtschaft meines Vaters
einigen Menschen gelungen sein wird nach USA oder Südamerika zu
entkommen, dies ist aber für mich zu kompliziert ^Iw^genügend
Hinte-rgrundwissen darüber Nachforschungen anszustellen . Manchmal
hilft ja auch der Zufall!
- 2 -
Könnten Sie mir schreiben wer den Katalog "Die Juden in Breslau
bis 1945" herausgab, ich würde mir diesen gerne bestellen?
Ernst Gramer hatte ich geschrieben, da4 ich wußte, daß er zur selben
Zeit wie mein Vater von Breslau nach Buchenwald deportiert wurde.
Ihre Hinweise zu den Leo Baeck Instituten nehme ich gerna an und
werde mich zu gegebener Zeit um Auskünfte bemühen.
Vielen Dank für Ihre große Mühe mir so detailliert zu schreiben.
Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn Sie bei Ihrem Deutschland-Besuch
auch in die RheinrGegend kämen. Gerne würde ich mich mit IHnen
unterhalten, vielleicht könnten Sie mir auch vorher mitteilen wann
Sie eintreffen, denn ich bin nicht immer zuhause.

Dear Harvey,
We were due to leave here for Breslau on 17th July bat had to cancel the day
beforp because of the flc^ods over there. We are now attempting to plan for
another date, early in Cctober, a^ain Peg and I to dr5 ve across and the rast
of the family to fly/rail it there. The devastation is extensive, railweys
between Breslau and Berlin remain cut, who knows what roads are like, where
the new river bed for the Oder will emerge, when bridges will become available.
Breslau old town, the whole of the area South of the river remeined dry, North
of the river very ba^Uy flooded. No drinking water in c ny part of the town.
I finally got round to reading Jewish Life in Breslau I938-4I which did interest
me as I experienced things in Breslau during the first 13 months of the report.
You might like to note some points which I find inaccurate - I hope you won't
think that I am nit-picking.
Not all were sent to Buchenwald. Your father, for instance, was in Sachsenhsusen
The liberal syna^^ogue was not fired - there was the risk of damaging the
Policei-Zentrale across the road . The internal supporting colurnns were
dynamited to collapse the building on itself. I watched the cuppol a sl owly
subsiding,from the back-steps of Tauentzienstr. 4
I do not recollect a synagogue in the Rehdigerschule which I ^ttended for nearly
4 years. (The spelling in the report is incorrect, I have headed notepaper
from the Schule am Rehdlgerplatz. ) Por the high holidays in 1939 the Aula on
the 3rd floor was turned into a make-shift synagogue
The synagogue in the Jewish hospital continued in service for some time after
Noverpber 1938. My sister Seffa was married there on her fiancee's release from
Buchenwald and I was Bar-Mizwah there on 8th Jan. '39 (Hab. Dr. Hoffmann)
I left Breslau on lo.l2.39 - up to that time we did not experience any elfectricit,
restrictions (though there was very strict black-out)
New Year and Yom Kippur etc. Services in the Aula of the school were open to
others, too. My father, for instance, was in the congregation on Yom Kippur with
me, when he was called away and had to walk home at midday to fetch our radio to
Jews were not permitted to buy fish, although not yet rationed during 1939*
This was particularly hard on orthodox Jews who could not take up their meat
ration as no kosher meat was obtainable. I went to buy fish for an elderly
Cousin of our fathers* (Clara Gchwartz) who was strictly orthodox - I was able
to get away with it as my looks were not typically Jewish
Personal bank accounts of o^Jews were *blocked' as part of the Nazi measures
following the events of 9.11.38, montly allowances for withdrawal being fixed
by the authorities.
• Aryanisation of all Jewish businesses was a further measure following events
of 9.11.38. I do not believe that there was a special agency for this in Breslau.
However, special supervisory trustees (Treuhaender) were appointed by the authori%
ties who had to countersign all documents of any importance. In the case of
N & N this was Herr Przekowski
What is this »Private juedische Schule?
FAMO was an engine factory: 'Plugzeug-Auto-MOtoren»
Baruch Freier
Dr. Freier?
- I wonder whether that was my maths teacher at the Rehdigerplatz
We are all well - busy as always. All cur girls + families/partners are fine
and are leading very busy lives. Peg and I are planning a trip to our place in
France beginning of September, hopefully together with Richard 's parents.
Have you had sight of the llst of dorniant bank accounts published by the
Swiss? I can't believe that there is anythjng of interest for us, still I
shall have a look at it.
I was planning to Visit Wuenschelburg (Radkow) from Breslau to see If the
old factoray building is still standing. I wönder whether there have been floodsl
there, too, as I know that Waidenburg was flooded.
What are you plans? Hope you are keeping well. Drop us a line sometime.
Love

Sehr geehrter Herr Dr. Newton,
herzlichen Dank für Ihr Schreiben vom September 1997.
Wir freuen uns sehr, daß Sie bereit sind, uns Informationen
für unser Forschungsprojekt zukommen zu lassen.
Zunächst möchte ich Ihre Fragen beantworten:
1. Unsere Fragestellung bezieht sich auf alle Formen von
Hilfe für Juden, bei denen sich Nicht Juden selbst gefährdet
haben. Sie schreiben, daß sie dazu etwas beitragen könnten.
Das würde uns sehr interessieren.
2. Unsere Forschung bezieht sich nicht nur auf Berlin,
sondern auf das Gebiet von Deutschland in den Grenzen von
1937.
Uns interessieren alle Einzelheiten, an die Sie sich noch
erinnern oder die Sie in Erfahrung bringen können.
Aber auch wenn Sie sich nur noch teilweise erinnern, teilen
Sie uns bitte alles mit, was sie dazu wissen, da wir dann
vielleicht selbst weiter recherchieren können.
Sie schreiben, daß Sie vor etwa zwei Jahren Ihren eigenen
Bericht (über den Novemberpogrom 1938 und Ihre Haft im KZ
Buchenwald) an Prof. Benz geschickt haben. Da unser Istitut
vor einem Jahr umgezogen ist, sind manche Dinge im Archiv
noch nicht wieder an Ort und Stelle. Wenn es Ihnen nicht
zuviel Mühe macht, würden wir auf Ihr Angebot, uns noch eine
Kopie zu schicken, sehr gern zurückkommen.
■Noch einmal besten Dank für Ihr Schreiben und Ihre
Bereitschaft, mit uns zusammenzuarbeiten.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

May I sugp^est, however, that you complete the application

your qualifications and have them available at a later

helpful to have an informal transcript or listing of

clearance also has not been accompllahed as you
wrote froai New Brunswick. However, in the neantirae I
got my doubts. Therefore if you have reported at
Camp Detrick in the menntirae I would like your advice
whether I should try to hyrry my clearance somewhat,
I do not know whether I could do much about it, but
I have some ideas I could try.

Your personal history blank has been received and wall be

should have been sent before. Please fill out and return.
It is very difficult to say how long the "freeze" may last.
We hope to be able to start filling a feiv vacancies soon.
The work will consist of the general application of agronomic
knowledge to grovving a few specific crops under various climatic
and soll conditions. Some of the time will be used for research
m crops. xcu v»ould be stationeu aL une place probably for three
or four months at a time.
I may be coraing to New Brunswick within the next two or three
weeks. If I do, I will let you know and perhaps we can meet for
an interview.

Dear Dr» lle-vvton:
Reference is made to your applioation for employment and subsequent
corre spende nee relative to your proposed appointment at this Installation
as Research Agronomist, GS-9, $5060,00 per annum.
Since our offer of employment to you in Decei-iber 1951, this office
has been awaiting a report on the proemployment invsstigation for you
T;hich the Seoond Army Intelligence authorities have boen conducting»
A satisfactory report on this investigation has now been received»
As you will recall, Colonel Ödland initially requested your appoint-
ment in Decerber 1951, basing his request on plans in effect for his
pro je et at that time, Subsequent to this action, overall responsibility
for this special project has passed from Colonel Ödland to Colonel
Armitage at Ariiy Chemical Center, I^kryland* During the 1951-52 v/inter
Operations and the 1952 summer Operations of the project, the per sonne 1
needs have developed somewhat differently from those originally onvisionod
by Molenei Ödland« Further, planned expansion in the Operations of this
group has failöd to uLaooritilize. In view of the above it has oeen deter-
mined that the need for an Agronomist on this project no longer exists«
i"/e have looked into the possibility of assqgning you elsewhere on the
Fest and have found that at the present time, there are no positions
available for a person with the qualifications you possess» Accordingly,
it is necessary to v/ithdraw the off er v«hich was extended to you.
Needless to say, we sincorely regret that ev^nts subsequent to our
initial contact with you necessitate this action« ;.e wish to assure you,
however, that we are retaining your application in our active file and
you will be given every consideration for appointmont to future vacancies
at th:is Installation in any position for v/hich you are qualified. Je
want you to know that we greatly appreciate the interest which you hav©
expressed in our research program.

asked again to try to get this clearance through as quickly as
possible. We were assured that this would be done.
I am indeed sorry about this delay and I know how you must
feel, We will continue pushing this as much as possible, I an
hoplng that this will all be cleared up v/ithin the next few days.
Rest assured that we will get in touch with you as soon as we get

On the other band I know that at leaat until 1944f when I

repeatedly by various ageneies. Naturally 1 do aot expect any

Dear Dr. Newton:
Replying to your letter of March 3, we conta«ted Intelligence
and asked if a personal interview would help expedite your clearance,
They said an interview would not be of any help. Everything possible
is being done to hasten your clearance, but the fact that you were
born in a foreign country, have changed your name, and have traveled
in several foreign countries, makes it rather difficult to complete
their investigation and consequently it may require considerable time
to clear you,

Since you have been cleared for this highly
specialized work, you will of course be actively
considered for anj openiag where they can use you«
Perhaps you have already beer^ so advised»

ly dear (Generals
May I take the liberty of writing to you
as I believe I have a valid complaint, which I like to »ubnit
to your consideration and possible action.
I accepted a poeitlon ae Research Agrononietf
0S-9f with the ü.S« Army Chemical Corps at Camp Detrick,
Trederlckt Maryland • The underatandingt when I accepted this
Position, was that I would Start there oa February 1, 1952.
I coopleted my "Stateuieut of Personal History" (DD Form 398)
on October 28, 1951» At the writing of this letter I have
not received any type of security clearance for this position«
While I realiae the importance of security
in this connection, it is my understandiog that many people
have st rted to woi'l: at tais instal^ation with a teaporary
WXC»C4^C»i.AS^« • M *t CAJj^^'OCiAO UW U40, ^ VAUf^JLjLA^ JU4k VIM %» AlXf MOm ¥ U^Kt Mkl^SJ JL. tUGk UJL\/IA
I have been able to obtain, that I will not be allowed to
Y/orl: there until a complete background iuvestigation has been
completed» I kuow that tue fact that I am foreign-bom, and
tn.t I spent three ikonth in Brazil prior to accepting this
Position inight cause the investigators soae difficulties«
However, I have spent practlcally all ay adult life either
as a member of the U«S« Army on active Service er as a Student
on an American university« I believe that my past sefviee
in the Army and my present Status should entitle me to some
considei*ation«

Sehr geehrter Herr Zieglert
Besten Dank für Ihren Brief rom 7.3.96, den ich mir erlaube, etwas yerspa-
t et auf diese Weise zu beantworten. loh lege eine Kopie zur Weiterleitunir
an das Einwohner - und Statistikamt der Stadt Halle(Saale), das meinen
Antrag bearbeitet , bei. v /, « mexnen
loh muss bemerken, dass es mioh etwas befremdet, dass die BehSrde nooh
weitere Beweise braucht, denn es soheint mirloh habe genligend Beweise
unterbreitet, dass ioh als Burger des Deutschen Reiches, Republik Ton
Weimar, geborj^ wurde, ürsürung]^ ich hatte ioh nooh Preussiche Staatsan-
gehörigkeit, die dann allgemein in "Deutsches Reich " umgewandelt wurde .
^Mein Kinderausweis)
Weiterhin muss ich micVi gegen den Ausdruck "Jüdische Volkszugehoriirkeit"
Terwahreni loh bin mindestens als stl guter Deutscher geboren, wie
Bitler es zu sein behauptete. Mein Vater war Mitglied des "CentralTereins
deutscher Staatsburger jüdischen Glaubens e.V.« und des "Refiisbundes
Judisoher Frontsoldaten e.V.«
Zu den Fragen in Ihrem Brief: ^^
1. Ich wurde am 1. Dezember 1942 Burger. USA unter den Bestimmuniren der
"becona war Power Act", Terabschiedet im U.S. Oongress etwa März 1942.
Die Einbürgerung fand im "U.S. Distriot Court of the District of
Columbia" (Washington, D.C.) statt.Die Nummer meines Bürgerbriefes ist»
Nr. 5793489
2. Wann genaur ich meine Deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit verloren habe weiss
ioh nicht genau, da ich keine Kopien des Reiohsgesetzblattes habe.
Meines Wissens wurden alle ausgewanderten "Nicht arier" eines Tages im
Jahre 1941 , ihrer Staatsangehörigkeit Ter lustig^ er klart. (Staasbürger
waren wir schon nach den Nürnberger Gesetzen nicht mehr)
3. Dass ich Judisch bin, oder zumindest ^oht arier " bin, unter der
Gesetzgebung des III. Reiches bin geht aus meinem Reisepass herror, der
auf der 1. Seite ein grosses "J" eingestempelt hat, und wo man nachträglich
mirllen Ton den Nazis aufgezwungenen Vornamen "Israel" eingetragen hat
Zum weiteren Beweise lege ich die folgenden b€JLaÄ)igten Dokumente bei:*
1. Seite Nr. 3, meines Schul zeigniss es der Gaudigsohule (Stadt. Volk's-
schule Nr.7o) Breslau - Kleinburg.
2. Seite Nr. 1 meines Schulzeugnisses des Realgymnasium am Zwinger -
Breslau *
3. Schul -^tlassungs-Zeugnis der "Jüdische Volksschule zu Breslau
4. Mitglifikarte Nr. 129 B des "JÜdisolb^ Kulturbund Breslau
Wenn das alles nicht genügend ist, kann die Behörde jemand auf den
Jüdischen Friedhof in Halle / Saale schicken, wo der Vater meiner
Mutter auf der Ehrenreihe beerdigt ist, da er Rabiner Ton Halle/Saale
Ton etwa 1881 - 1909 war. Sein Name war Dr. Siegmund Pessler. Das
Einwoh^eramt sollte ihn auch in alten Akten haben. Was allerdings Tom
jüdischen Friedhof und den alten Akten noch übrig ist weiss ich
allerdings nicht.

Zur abschließenden Bearbeitung wird von dort noch ein Nachweis über die Art und den Zeitpunkt
des Erwerbs der amerikanischen Staatsbürgerschaft benötigt. Außerdem werden Sie gebeten, einen
Nachweis für den Verlust der deutschen Staatsangehörigkeit beizubringen. Hier würde es genügen,
wenn Sie ein Dokument, aus dem sich Ihre damalige jüdische Volkszugehörigkeit ergibt, vorlegen

Dr. Harvey P. Newton

Dear Dr. Newton:
I refer to your letter of October 20 inquiring whether it
would be possible to for you to reacquire German nationality
without placing your U.S. citizenship at risk. You indicated
that German law provides for the restoration of German
citizenship to those individuals whose German citizenship was
involuntarily taken from them under the Nazi regime.
I believe the Provision of German law you are referring to
is set forth in Article 116, Paragraph 2, of the German Basic
Law (Constitution), as adopted on May 3, 1949, effective
May 24, 1949. That law reads, in translation, as follows:
"Former German nationals who were deprived of their German
nationality between January 30, 1933 and May 8, 1945, for
political, racial or religious grounds, and their
descendants shall be renatural ized upon application.

They

expressed a contrary intention."
194 5 and have
U.S. law, as codified in See. 349(a)(l) of the Immigration
and Nationality (INA), states that a national of the United
Skates shall lose U.S. nationalit'^ b'^ obtainin«^ n=»f-nrai -i -^ af-i on
U. .1. «w« Jl A
in a foreign State upon his own application, or upon an
application filed by a duly authorized agent, after having
attained the age of eighteen years when obtained voluntarily
with an intent to relinquish U.S. nationality. While the
Department of State finds that United States Citizens who
reacquire German citizenship under the first sentence of
Article 116(2) of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of
Germany bring themselves within the purview of Section
349(a)(l) of the Act, the practical ramification is that the
acquisition of a foreign nationality upon one's own application
is an expatriating act only when done voluntarily and with the
intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship. Where the act is
involuntary or where there is rr^ intent to relinquish U.S.
citizenship that Status is retai.ned.
- 2 -
Former German Citizens of the class covered by the second
sentence of Article 116(2), who after May 24, 1949 established
a domicile in Germany hold German citizenship without any
application or deliberate action. Consequently, they are not
subject to the technical provisions of Section 349(a)(l) of the
INA.
We hope you will find this Information useful. If I can be
of any further assistance to you in this regard, please let me
know .
Sincerely,

DUAL NATIONALITY
What .Kt .Is: Dual nationality is the simultaneous possession of two
cltisenshlps. Ttie Supreme Court of the United States has stated that
dual nationality is '*a Status long recognised in the law** and that **a
person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and
be subject to the responsibilities of both. The nere fact that he
asser ts the rights of one citizenship does not without more mean that he
renounces the other**, Kawakita v. U.S.» 3A3 U.S. 717 (1952). Tfie
roncepts discussed in this leaflet apply also to persons who have nore
than two nationalities.
HüW Acquired Dual nationality results from the fact that there is no
UTilform rnle of international law relating to the acquisltion of
nationality. Each country has its own laws on the subject, and its
nationality Js conferred upon individuals on the basis of its own
jndepeudent domestic poliry. Individuais may have dual nationality not
by chf>i(!p but by autotnatic Operation of these different and sometintes
conflicting laws.
The laws of the United States, no less than those of other countries,
contribute Lo the Situation because they provide for acquisltion of U.S.
citizetiship by birth in the United States and also by birth abroad to an
American, regardless of the other nationalities which a person night
sequi re at birth. For example, a child bom abroad to U.S. Citizens may
acqnire at birth not only American citizennhip but also the nationality
of Ihe conti try in wliich it was born. Similarly, a child bom in the
United States to foreigners may acquire at birth both U.S. citizenship
and a foreign nationality.
Tlie laws of some countries nrovide for automatic acauisition of
ciMzenshlp after birth, for example, by marriage. In addition, some
countries do not recognize naturalization in a foreign State as grounds
for loss of citizenship. A person from one of those countries who is
natural ized in the United States keeps the nationality of the country of
origin despite the fact that one of the requirements for U.S. naturaliza-
tion is a renunciation of other nationalities*
Current Law and.PQlicy The current nationality laws of the United
States do not specifically refer to dual nationality*
The automatic acquisltion or retention of a foreign nationality does not
affect U.S. citizenship; however, the acquisition of a foreign national-
ity upon one*s own application or the application of a duly authorized
ag*»nt may cause loss of U.S. citizenship under Section 349(a)(l) of the
Iiranigration and Nationality Act 18 U.S.C. 1481(a)(l)].
In Order for loss of nationality to occur under Section 3'i9(a)(l), it
must be established that the naturalization was obtained voluntarily by a
person eighleen years of age or older with the Intention of relinquishing
U.R. citizenship. Such an intention may be shown by the person *s
Statements or conduct, yancjß v. JerjrajKÄfi, A44 U.S. 252 (1980). If the
U.S. Government is imable to prove that the person had such an intention
whcn apply ing for and obtaining the foreign citizenship, the person will
liave both nationalities.
-2-
Unjted States Iflw does not contain any provlslons requiring U.S. Citizens
who are born with dual nationality to choose one nationallty or tlie other
when they become adults, tJandoU v. Acheson, 3V4 U.S. 133 (1952).
WIdle recognlzlng the exlstenre of dual nationality and permltting
Amerlcans to have other nationalities, the U.S. Government does not
endorse dual nationality as a matter of policy because of the problems
which it may cause. Claims of other countries upon dual-natlonal U.S.
Citizens often place them in situations where their obligations to one
country are in conflict with the laws of the other. In addition, their
dual nationality may hamper efforts to provide diplomatic and consular
protection to them when they are abroad.
Allegiance to. Wluch__Country It generally is considered that while
dual nationals are in the other country of which they are Citizens that
country has a predominant claim on them.
Like Amerlrans who possess only U.S. citizenshfp, dual national U.S.
Citizens owe allegiance to the United States and are obliged to obey its
laws and regulations. Such persons usually have certain obligations to
the foreign country as well. Although failure to fulfill such obliga-
tions may have no adverse effect on dual nationals while in the United
States because the foreign country would have few means to force compli-
ance under those circumstances, dual nationals might be forced to comply
with those obligations or pay a penalty if they go to the foreign coim-
try. In cases where dual nationals encounter difficulty in a foreign
cotmtry of which they are Citizens, the ability of U.S. Foreign Service
posts to provine asslstance may be qulte limited since many foreign coun-
tries may not recognize a dual nationales claim to U.S. citizenship.
Which Passport toJLJse Section 215 of the Immigration and Nationality
Act [8 U.S.C. 1185] requires U.S. Citizens to use U.S. passports when
entering or leaving the United States unless one of the exceptlons listed
in Section 55.2 of Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations applies.
Dual nationals may be required by the other country of which they are
Citizens to enter and leave that country using its passport, but do not
endanger their U.S. citizenship by complying with such a requirement.
How to„Give__Up Pual_JNationa^^^^^ Most coimtries have laws which
specify how a Citizen may lose or divest citizenship. Generally, persons
wfio do not wisli to maintain dual nationality may renounce the citizenship
which they do not want. Information on renouncing a foreign nationality
may be obtained from the foreign country's Embassies and Consulates or
from the appropriate governmental agency in that country. Americans may
renounce their U.S. citizenship abroad pursuant to Section 349(a)(5) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act [8 U.S.C. 1^81(a)(5)]. Information
on renouncing U.S. citizenship may be obtained from U.S. Embassies and
Consulates and the Office of Citizens Consular Services, Departmr-nt of
State, Washington, D.C. 20520.
For further Information on dual nationality, see Marjorie M. Whlteman's

APVICE ABOUT POSSIBLE LOSS OF U.S. CITIZENSHIP
AND DUAL NÄTIONÄLITY
The Department of State is responsible for determining
the citizenship Status of a person located outside the
United States or in connection with the application for a
U.S. passport while in the United States.
POTENT lALLY EXPATRIATING STATUTES
Section 349 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as
amended, states that U.S. Citizens are subject to loss of
citizenship if they perform certain acts voluntarily and
with the intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship.
Briefly stated, these acts include:
(1) obtaining naturalization in a foreign State
(See. 349(a)(l) INA) ;
(2) taking an oath, affirmation or other formal
declaration to a foreign State or its political
subdivisions (See. 349(a)(2) INA);
(3) entering or serving in the armed forces of a
foreiqn State enqaqed in hostilities aqainst the
U.S. or serving as a commissioned or
non-commissioned officer in the armed forces of a
foreign State (See. 349(a)(3) INA) ;
(4) accepting employment with a foreign government if
(a) one has the nationality of that foreign State
or (b) a declaration of allegiance is required in
accepting the position; (See. 349(a)(4) INA);
(5) formally renouncing U.S. citizenship before a
U.S. consular officer outside the United States
(sec. 349(a)(5) INA);
(6) formally renouncing U.S. citizenship within the
U.S. (but only "in time of war") (Sec. 349(a)(6)
INA) ;
(7) conviction for an act of treason (Sec. 349(a)(7)
INA) .

ADMINISTRATIVE STANDARD OF EVIDENCE
As already noted, the actions listed above can cause
loss of U.S. citizenship only if performed voluntarily and
with the Intention of relinquishing U.S. citizenship.
The Department has a uniform administrative Standard nf
evi(?ence based on the premise that U.S. Citizens int^nd tn
retain United States citizenship when thev obtain
ngturalizgtion in a foreiqn State, subscribe to routinp>
declargtionjs of allegiance to a foreian State, or accept
non-policv level emplovment with a foreian oovernmpnt .
DISPOSITION OF CASES WHEN ADMINISTRATIVE PREMISE IS
APPLICABLE
In light of the administrative premise discussed
above, a person who:
(1) is naturalized in a foreign country;
(2) takes a routine oath of allegiance; or
(3) accepts non-policy level employment with a
foreign government
and in so doing wishes to retain U.S. citizenship need not
submit prior to the commission of a potentially
expatriating act a Statement or evidence of his or her
intent to retain U.S. citizenship since such an intent
will be presumed.
When such cases come to the attention of a U.S.
consular officer, the person concerned will be asked to
complete a questionnaire to ascertain his or her intent
toward U.S. citizenship. Unless the person af f irmatively
asserts in the questionnaire that it was his or her
Intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship, the consular
officer will certify that it was not the person's intent
to relinquish U.S. citizenship and, consequently, find
that the person has retained U.S. citizenship.
- 3 -
DISPOSITION OF CASES WHEN ADMINISTRATIVE PREMISE IS
INAPPLICABLE
The premise that a person intends to retain U.S.
citizenship is not applicable when the individual:
(1) formally renounces U.S. citizenship before a
consular officer;
(2) takes a policy level position in a foreign State;
(3) is convicted of treason; or
(4) performs an act made potentially
expatriating by Statute accompanied by conduct
which is so inconsistent with retention of
U.S. citizenship that it compels a conclusion
that the individual intended to relinquish
U.S. citizenship. (Such cases are very rare.)
Cases in categories 2, 2, and 4 will be developed
carefully by U.S. consular officers to ascertain the
individual 's intent toward U.S. citizenship.
PERSONS WHO WISH TO RELINQUISH U.S. CITIZENSHIP
An individual who has performed any of the acts made
potentially expatriating by Statute who wishes to lose
U.S. citizenship may do so by affirming in writing to a
s^ . ^ , wwiA^ju» j.wi v^i-j-Av^ci. uiiac uxie c3il;l wdö peiroriTiea witin an
intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship. Of course, a person
always has the Option of seeking to formally renounce U.S.
citizenship in accordance with Section 349(a)(5) INA.
APPLICABILITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE PREMISE TO PAST CASES
The premise established by the administrative Standard
of evidence is applicable to cases adjudicated
previously. Persons who previously lost U.S. citizenship
may wish to have their cases reconsidered in light of this
policy. A person may initiate such a reconsideration by
- 4 -
submitting a request to the nearest U.S. consular Office
or by writing directly to:
Director, Office of Citizens Consular Services
(CA/OCS/CCS), Room 4811 NS
Department of State
Washington, DC 20520-4818
Fach case will be reviewed on its own merits taking into
consideration, for example, Statements made by the person
at the time of the potentially expatriating act.

Wid ersDruchsbesche id
Der Widerspruchsausscliuß hat in seiner Sitzung am 5.10.1993 dui~ch seine
Mitglieder
Herr Peter Ahner als Vertreter der Versicl-ierten
Herr Klaus Reszczynski als Vertreter der Arbeitgeber
entschieden:
Der Widei'spruch wird zuruckgew^iesen.
- 2 -
Seit-e 2
Becrründuncr;
Am 27.12.1990 (Eingang) haben Sie einen Antrag auf Nachentrichtung von
Beiträgen bei der BfA gestellt. Der Vorgang wurde am 29.4.1991 an die
LVA Harnfcurg abgegeben.
Am 4.4.1991 haben Sie ergänzend einen Antrag auf Gewährung von Altersren-
te wegen Vollendung des 65. Lebensjahres eingereicht.
Mit Bescheid vom 2.4.1992 wurde der Antrag auf Nachentrichtung von Bei-
trägen gemäß § 21 des Gesetzes zur Wiedergati achung nationalsozialisti-
sehen Unrechts in der Sozialversicherung {V>3SVG in der Fassung des Ren-
tenreformgesetzes 92) mit der Begi-Qndung abgelehnt, daß Sie nicht zum
Personenkreis derjenigen gehören, die erstmals durcli die §§ 20, 21 WGSVG
(RRG 92) begünstigt werden sollen, da Ihnen bereits 1972 die Vexiiriebene-
neigenschaft zuerkannt uiirde. Im. üijrigen komme eine Anrechnung von Zei-
ten nach dem Rr-emdrentange^etz (FRG) nicht in Betracht, v;eil der angege-
bene Beschäftigungsort innerhalb der Grenzen des E)eutschen Reiches nach
dem Stand vom 31.12.1937 lag (§ 3 FRG). Der Rentenantrag wurde abge-
lehnt, weil Sie bereits Ihren eigenen Angaben nach niemals Beiträge zur
deutschen Rentenversicherung enti ichtet haben. Mangels ani-echejil:iarer Bei-
tragszeiten wären auch eventuelle Ersatzzeiten nicht anrechienbar .
Dagegen haben Sie am 29.6.1992 (Eingang) Widerspruch erhoben. Sie haben
^ -/ :j / ^ — ..w^ *.^^-.*. — ^>y f ^.-tj> u-<jl5— i ij.«wJiiL4.^o i_x;;x L-i. av-^c; ^UX LitiU l-i^C-i Ifcil 1
Rentenversicherung entrichtet hätten. Dies sei jedoch darauf zurückzufüh-
ren, daß Sie bis 1936 zu jung und von 1936 bis 1938 in der Landwirt-
schaft tätig gewesen seien, die Ihres V7issens nicht unter die Rentenver-
sicherung fiel. Sollte eine Entrichrung von Beiträgen a^jfgrund eines feh-
lerhaften Unterlassens der Vorgesetzten nicht erfolgt sein, wäre Ihnen
dies nicht zuzurechnen. Sie seien am 15.12.1938 gezv.nangenermaßen ausge-
wandert und später unfreiwillig ausgebürgert worden. Sie baten um zusätz-
liche Gelegenheit zur Nachzahlung, da Sie aus Gründen der rassischen Ver-
folgung vom normalen Berufsleben und damit von der Rentenberechtigung
ausgeschlossen worden seien. Bezug nehmend auf die unanfechtbare Ent-
scheidung zum früheren Nachentrichtungsantrag ti-ugen Sie ergänzend vor,
daß Sie Geld bai-eitg es teilt und um rrehr detailliei-te Informationen gebe-
ten hätten. E.3vor Sie diese be>;on^jrr2n hätten, sei die Endfrist, von der
Sie nichts ge'v.Mßt hätten, verstrichen gewesen. Ihre dagegen erhobenen
Ein'w-ände seien Ihrer Ansicht nach zu Uni-echt abgelehjnt 'worden.
- 3 -
Im weiteren Verlauf des Verfahrens haben Sie ergänzend vorgetragen, daß
nach Ihren Kenntnissen bei in Israel lebenden Juden Zeiten der Beschäfti-
gung als Hachsharah-IiShrlinge bei der deutschen Rentenversicherung Be-
rücksichtigung finden würden.
Aus Gründen der Gleichbehandlunc müsse dies für alle gelten, die eine
ähnliche Ausbildungsstätte besucht hätten, aber nicht in Israel leben
würden.
Der Widerspruchsausschuß hat Ihren Widerspruch sehr eingehend in tatsäch-
licher und rechtlicher Hinsicht überprüft. Er ist jedcx±i zu keinem für
Sie günstigeren Ergebnis gekcjmrnen.
Ihr Widerspruch ist rechitzeitig erhoben ujid zulässig. Er ist jedoch
nicht bagründet.
Gemäß § 1248 Abs. 5 ReichsversicJierungsordnung (RVO) erhält der Versi-
cherte Altersruhegeld, der das 65. Letensjahr vollendet ^and die VJarte-
zeit von 60 Kalendernpnaten Vers icherungs zeit erfüllt hat.
N;=»ch dem deutsch-amerikanischen Sozialversicherungsabkomiren werden zur
- ^.•:n,,rv-r Ho-r wp»r-i-^7<=^it von 60 Kalendermonaten die deutschen und die ame-
»
riVr.^nischen Versicherung::^ Zeiten zusammengerechnet. Voraussetzung hierfür
ist jedoch, daß in der deutschen gesetzlichen Rentenvejrsicl^erung eine
Mindestversicheruj-xgszeit von 18 Kalendemvonaten zurückgelegt wurde
(Art. 7 Abs. 2 des Ab)-;omrTens) .
Anrechnungsfähige Versicherungszeiten sind gemäß § 1250 RVO Beitrags-,
Ersatz- und Zeiten der Kindererziehung, wobei die Berücl'^icl-it jung von
Ersatzzeiten mindestens einen Kalendermonat anrechenbare Be.tragszeit
voraussetzt .
- 4 -
Zu den rentenrechtlich relevanten Zeiten wurden von Ihnen im Rentenver-
fahrc^ folgende Angaben genacht:
- Beiträge zu einer Rentenversicherung der Bundesrepublik Deutsciiland
cder West-Berlin seien nicht entrichtet worden.
- 1927 bis 1931 Besuch der Vol3<:ssGhule in Breslau,
- 1931 bis 1934 Besuch des Realgymnasiums in Breslau,
- 1934 bis 1935 Besuch der jüdischen Volksschule Am ;\nger,
- 1935 bis 1936 Besuch der Aufbauschule,
- 24.5.1936 bis 13.12.1938 Ausbildung im Jüdischen Auswanderer lehrgut
Groß -Breesen , Kreis Trebnitz, Schlesien, mit Abschlußpi-üfung als land-
wirtscha f 1 1 icher Pr - . Vrt Lkant .
Bereits Ihren eigenen Angaben nach wurden für Sie niemals Beiträge zur
deutschen Rentenvers icheruiig entrichtet. Zeiten der (Schul-) Ausbildung
sind keine Beitragszeiten.
Daher können auch die Zeiten im jüdischen Auswanderer lehrgut Grob-Bree-
sen zum Zweck der Ausbildung nicht als Beitragszeit berücksichtigt wer-
den.
Die Vorbereitung von jüdischen Vei folgten auf eine berufliche Existenz
nach der Auswanderung in kolle>rtiven Ausbildungsstätten im Reichsgebiet
(sog. Hachsharah- Zeiten) zieht nach der Rechtsprechung des Bundessozial-
gericlites (BSG, Urteil v. 14.5.1981 zu Az. : 4 RJ 15/80) mangels Entgelt
nach daiTialigen Vorschriften weder Versicherungspflicht nach sich, noch
kann es zu einer fiktiven Beitragszeit gemäß § 14 II WGSVG kommen.
Eine Berücksichtigung von sog. Hachsharah-Zeiten ist ausschließlich auf-
grund des deutsch-israelischen Sozialvers icherungsabkanmens möglich. Da-
rin werden jedoch nur Verfolgte berücksichtigt, die unter anderem vor
dem 1.1.1950 nach Palästina oder in den Staat Israel ausgewandert sind
und sich dort als israelische Staatsangehörige am 1.1.1982 nicht nur vor-
üb2i.'gGhend aufgehalten haba
•f-or
- 5 -
Diese Voraussetzungen erfüllen Sie nicht.
Eine Gleichstellung anderer jüdischer Verfolgter mit sog. Hachshara-Zei-
ten außerhalb dieses Abkommens ist nicht nöglich. Als ainerikanischer
Staatsangehöriger ist auf Sie das deutsch-amerikanische Sozialversiche-
rungsabkoaimen anwendbar. Die gleichzeitige Anv/endung mehrerer Abkommen
ist im übrigen nicht zulässig.
Die MLndestversicherijngszeit kann von Ihnen auch nicht durch A^usübung ei-
nes Beitragsnachantrichtungsrechts erfüllt werden.
Die Wiedei-eröffnung des Rechts auf Nachentrichtung von Beiträgen zur
deutschen Rentenversicherung setzt sowohl nach § 21 I \siGS^G als auch
nach § 22 I ViG^G voraus, daß für den Versicherten erstmals aufgrund der
Neuregelung des § 20 II \'^SVG oder nad:i § 17 I b letzter Kalbsatz FRG
(i. d. F. V. 1.1.90) Beitrags- oder Eeschäfticfun:?szelten nach dem FRG zu
berüch'siclitigen sind.
5e-reits im Zeitraum 1.12.79 bis 31.12.80 Vv-aren Sie als Verfolgter i. S.
d. § 1 BB3 und als Vertriebener i. S. d. § 1 II Nr. 1 BVFG anerkannt und
haben deiigeTäß schon am 15.1.80 bei der BfA einen Antrag auf Nachentrich-
tung von Beiträgen nach \'^^G gestellt. Der Antrag wurde dui^ch Bescheid
UdL Di-Ai VUJll
4.9.1981 in der Fassung des Widerspruchsbescheides vom
27.7.1982 v;egen fehlender Mitwirkung - rechtsverbindlich - abgelehnt.
Bei dieser Sachlage gehör -n Sie nicht zum Personenkreis derjenigen, die
erstmals von der Neuregelung des § 20 II ViG^G erfaßt werden sollen.
Für Sie sind im übrigen weder BeiU^ags- noch Beschäftigungszeiten nach
dem Fremdrentengesetz zu berücksichtigen.
Sie haben angegeben, im Auswanderer lehrgut Groß-Breesen, Kreis Trebnitz
Schlesien, zur Ausbildung gewesen zu sein. Dieser Ausbildungsort liegt
jjinerhalb der Grenzen des Deutschen Reichs nach dem Stand vom
31.12.1937, v;eslialb eine Berüc>-^ichtigung von Zeiten nach dem FRG nicht
in Betracht kommt.
- 6 -
"►C-riT-G; ü
Mangels anrechenbarer Beitragszeit konnten auch eventuell anrechenbare
Ersatzzeiten nicht berücksichtigt werden.
Scfweit Sie vortragen, die Ableriiong des Nachentrichtungsantrages vom
15.1.1980 sei nicht rechtiräßig erfolgt, ist einzuwenden, daß das Verfah-
ren rechtskräftig cibgeschlossen wurde, da Sie von der hfcglichkeit, gegen
den Widerspruchsbescheid Klage zu erheben, keinen Gebrauch gemacht ha-
ben.
Aber seltet wenii Fan Ihrer Auffassung folgen würde, hätten Sie jeden-
falls nach Maßgabe des .z^rt. 16 II der Durchführungsvereinbarung zurrt
deutsGh-air>eril;aniEichen Sozia Iversicherurygsahikommen (DV-DAS\7^) in Verbin-
dung mit § 10 \'^SVG kein Recht äuf Nachentriditung von Pflichtbeiträgen.
Dieses setzt voraus, daß eine in der deutschen Rentenversicheruiig versi-
cherungspflichtige Beschäftigung oder Tätig>:eit aus Verfolgungsgründen
unterbrochen oder beendet worden ist oder bis zum Beginn der Verfolgung
eine Ausfallzeit wegen Krankheit, Sdiwangerschaft oder Arbeitslosigkeit
vorgeleg.^in hat.
Diese Voraussetzung erfüllen Sie nicht, da die Zeiten ijn Ausv/andei^er lehr-
gut Groß-Breesen aus den dargelegten Giöinden keine vers icherungspf licht i-
ae B^SChäf i"'irninrr war nnH H;::^ho-r ?^T»r^Vi Hiö \7r>^-^y^c-c-'r^■*~^r^^>^^ ^^^ -. ,1 •,
Vei-sicheiaingszeiten von miirJester^ 60 Kalendemionaten von Irmen nicht er-
füllt v;ird.
Es b3stür>de für Sie lediglich die Möglichkeit der Nachentrichtung frei-
wmig.er Beiträge nach Maßgabe des Art. 16 I DV-aASVA in Verbindung mit
§ 10 a \\iGSVG.
Sollten Sie daran nochmals Ihr Interesse bekunden, wäre die Landesversi-
(■.'heriingsanstalt Freie und Piansestadt Hamburg bereit, einen entsprechen-
den Antrag zu bescheiden. Sie werden jedoch darauf hingewiesen, daß die
Nacl-jentrichtung freiwilliger Beiträge nicht die Anrechenbarkeit von Er-
satzzeiten zur Folge hat. Eine Rentenleistung v^nlrde ausschließlich aus
den von Ihnen eingezahlten freiwilligen Beiträgen erfolgen, was sich
nach Auffa3sur'>g der Lai-desversicherungsanstalt als nicht wirtschaftlich
einreisen v/ür-ide.

YOUR FILE REFERENCE't
IN REPLY REPER TOt 8ACBA,
Dear Sir:
C-7 ,827,371
This has reference to your claim for retired pay under the pro-
visions of Section 5, Public No. 18, 76th Congress, as amended.
Certification has been received from the War Department that you
are entitled to retired pay of |131*25 monthly, effective from 4/5/46 *
Under the law, payment of these benefits is made by the Veterans Administra-
ion and appropriate action is accordingly being taken regarding the ad-
justment of your account. ♦ ♦157.50 from 7/1/46
Section 212, Public No. 212, 72d Congress, as amended, provides,
in effect, that no Federal employee, employee of the Municipal Government
of the District of Columbia or employee of any corporation the majority of
the stock of which is owned by the United States, shall be entitled during
the period of such employment to retired pay from the United States on ac-
count of Service as a coraraissioned officer, at a rate in excess of an amount
which when combined with the annual rate of compensation from such employ-
ment, makes the total rate from both sources more than $3,000 annually.
This Provision, however, is not for application if the disease or injury
for which retired pay has been authorized was incurred in combat with an
•enemy of the United i^tates or was the result of an explobion of an instru-
mentality of war in line of duty.
The provisions of Section 212 are notapplicable in your case,
since the War Department states that the disability on which your retire-
ment is predicated was incurred in combat, or as the result of an
explosion of an instrumentality of war in line of duty. If your disability
was not incurred in combat or as the result of an explosion of an instru-
mentality of war in line of duty and you should be employed as contemplated
by Section 2l2 you may elect to receive any compensation or pension to which
you may be entitled instead of retired pay. If such an election is made
the füll amount of compensation or pension* due and salary may be paid con-
currently until an election to again receive retired pay is made.
,"7 /? Respectfully,

Dear ASTPers:
Louis E. Keefer
1503 Farsta Court
Reston, VA 22090
Well, the book's been accepted by McFarland & Company, Inc.,
Jefferson, NC, for publication in 1988. It was accepted in the
original long and somewhat academic Version that so many other
publishers rejected.
Nevertheless, at McFarland's request, I've just reduced the text
from 500 pp. to 400 pp. , and expect to submit the final, final
manuscript within a month — with your help this one last timel !
(again, apologizing for the mass production appearance of an
impersonal form letter, and hoping you'll forgive that).
Enclosed is a tissue carbon of what I've used as quoted material
out of all you may have sent me at one time or another. I*d like
you to check it for accuracy, make whatever changes you think are
needed in the margin, and return it to me as soon as you can.
Basically, I stuck either exactly, or very closely, to your own
words, and they have a sense of immediacy that may be lost if you
Start trying to make them sound more sophisticated; so I'm really
hoping that you won't change them unless absolutely necessary.
They're great, as is. I think so, and so does the publisher.
If easier, send me a post card or give me a call (703/437-1711)
if what you see is okay. Alternatively, if I don't hear from
you at all, 1*11 assume you have no problem with what I've used.
I'm sorry that each of you can't see the whole context wherein
VOU * re a\in"hPd . Wh;^-h T HiH w^c m^Vc^ r>ir»o r«a>-KrNT-» r*/^r>-»r r3r%/^ -i-K^^ ^^,,4-
it up into a lot of little pieces, for me the only feasible way.
I'm especially sorry that I simply could not use more of what
each of you sent. I may not even have used what you thought most
important. Altogether, t had at leact a ir.illion words to choose
from, and I did the best I could.
It was great to hear from so many of you over the holiday season.
All the best.
Harvey P. Newton^ a German-Jewish refuqee who ca
me
o the States in 1940 and volunteered for Army
Service in 1941, was a Chinese language Student at
the University of Pennsylvania when the program was
curtailed in early 1944:
In February 1944 a group carne around to
pick out anyone who was fluent in either
German, French er Italian, and I was
transferred to the Military Intelligence
Training Center at Camp (now^Fort) Ritchie,
Maryland. Thanks to my record as a top
Student at Ritchie, and my relatively long
Army Service by then, I was one of a couple
of hundred directly commissioned officers
in M.I. Not exactly part of the program of
ASTP, but in my case the result of having
been t-hPr<=». Vnr- mo r>o-rcr\n;al Irr 1 4- >-4-ko,i 1 ♦. /^/4
in a lot of benefits, because I was wounded
in Ingwiller, France, on November 30, 1944,
returned to the U.S., and then placed on
temporary limited duty at the Enemy
Prisoner of War Information Bureau, an
agency set up under the Geneva Conference.
I was retired as a Ist Lt. on April 2,
1946, and I have now been on the government
payroll for almost 45 years.
Harvey P. Newton was wounded on November iu, 1'j4 4
in Ingwiller, France, at exactly noon:
"I was most heroically on my wäy'to have lunch, I
had finished interrogating a POW who said some German
mortat crew was still outside somewhere in the
woods. While talking to the S-2 officer in the Regt,
Commander 's Office I heard an explosion, and asked
• i i--
is this incoming or outgoing stüff?' The new Regt.
Commander, Lt. Col. King (the first Commander, Col.
Allen was the first casualty on the Regt, staff, and
I was to be the second) said, *that was incominq; I
know the difference.* I went downstairs to go to
lunch, and asked the guard, 'did you see any Shells
come in?* He said, *no sir. * When I turned away,
something went Vboom* and I feit something in my left
wrist. The mortar Shell got four of us: myself, an
MP badly in the legs, and two others slightly."

sonnel of the Organized Reserves transferred to the Department of the

'g] 14 U.S.C. 751 creates the Coast Guard Reserve as a component
part of ihe Coast Guard.
Section 203. Strength of the reserve components
This section states that the Congress shall fix the nnaximum strengths of
the reserve components, or that In the absence of such action by the
Congress, the President shall prescribe such strengths. The Army and Air

National Guard of the United States 600,000
Orsranizpd Reserve Corps (Army Reserve) 9 80,000
Air National Guard of the United States 150,000
Air Force Reserve 500,000
There Is no fixed statutory strength for the Naval Reserve, Marine
Corps Reserve, or Coast Guard Reserve at the present time. The act
of August 3, 1950, suspended authorized strength llmitations untll July
31. 1954. Therefore, untll that time the President would have the au-
thorlty to fix the strength of all the reserve components, subject to appro-
priatlons therefor.
Section 204. Definition of the Re+ired Reserve
The Retired Reserve established by ihls section would be a completely
volunläry portion of the reserve components. It would consist of those

serve components, and who, although they no longer participate In traln-
Ing, would be of value to the Armed Forces In a large-scale moblllzatlon.
This section In no way affects retlrement under title III of the Army and
Air Force Vitalizatlon and Retlrement Equallzation Act of 1948.
Section 205. Choice of serviro
(a) Opportunity for choice of Service. — This subsection assures that
persons having Reserve obllgatlons will have some opportunity to choose
the Armed Force In which they may desire to dIscharge such Obligation.
hiowever. In order that there will be a distributlon of personnel consistent
with the needs of the Services, and so that the expense of prevlous traln-
Ing wiii not be wasted, the choice is made subject to the consent of the
Service in which prevlous training was had and also subject to the consent
of the gaining Service. The subsection also provides that an individual
enlisted or appointed under Its provislons shall be ellgible to participate
in such programs as are authorized to be conducted by the Armed Force
In which he enlists or Is appointed. Such programs Include active duty,
ROTC, and other officer-candidate programs, etc.
The subsection also provides that any perlod of obllgated servIce re-
möinlng at the time of such enlistment or appointment shall be completed
In the Armed Force In which the Individual enlists or Is appointed.
The subsection further guarantees that particlpatlon In any program
wili be credited against the total servIce Obligation or total Reserve ob-

smiling, suave, trying to be helpful.
•Leh bess," says Abdul. Meaning "all right,'» "okay." One after
another a half dozen soldiers try pronouncing it. Instructor J. Maurice
Hohlfeld, lending attentive ear for errors, says:
"You're not getting the 'e' quite right, Brown. That is not the
way the Arab says it. Leh bess." Brown tries it again and again while
fellow students join in tili their classroom at the University of Penn-
sylvania Museum sounds with the babble of a North African mar-
In this manner, serious-minded young soldiers of the Army Spe-
cialized Training Division at Penn are busy long hours each day,
some learning Moroccan Arabic; others, Chinese, Hindustani — Ben-
gali, Russian or the more prosaic German, Spanish and Portuguese.
These last two Latin tongues are spoken in various colonies through-
out Ihe World where the Army may have dealings some day.
At certain other American universities our soldiers are familiariz-
ing themselves, in similarly intensified courses, with other lands, lan-
guages and peoples under the Army's Foreign Area and Languages Study
Program.
After nine months these youths can use the exotic tongues almost
as well as natives. That's not just ^
a cliche — they actually can. ■ - - ■^■"i- ^^^-"■--. ^ir- -^
What's more, they will have picked
up a wealth of up-to-date, usable
Information about the area they
specialize in, such as its geogra-
phy, climate, transportation facil-
ities, natural resources and the
economic, political, religious, so-
cial and cultural institutions of the
people. Much of the stuff has
never been assembled in a text
book. It's new, vital, modern.
No frills. Just hundreds and ,,.,^^
hundreds of pertinent facts that ***
stand a soldier who is serving in a
liaison capacity in good stead. Män-
ner of behavior and knowledge of
what's what can save broken heads
and make for good will. Such
as:
Chinese do not like to he slap-
ped on the hack. They don't care
to shake hands, eithevt or he
touched at all.
If a bull sidles up heside you on
a Street in an India village it is not
advisahle to smite him on the nose,
even though he he as meek as Fer-
dinand. He is prohably a sacred
animal dedicated to the god Shiva.

of them are deserving cases; a
amall gift occasionally — perhaps a
ey'-Avifl caiifSß„(in American sol-
dier no hardship and do the amity
of nations a Ipt of good.
Men assigned to A. S. T. D. stud-
les after completing their military
training are selected on a basis of
Unusually high I. Q.'s revealed in
Army intelligence tests. lyiost of
them are already bilingual, but all
study another language unfamil-
lar to them, one necessary to our
Army'B present potential require-
ments.
A man, for instance, who already
can speak German as well as Eng-
lish, will not continue studies in
the former language. More than
likely he will take on Russian. As
a tri-linguist he will be of increased
use to the Army and helpful in a
score of capacities as later devel-
opments in the war unfold.
In many cases the soldiers choose
the language-area field they pre-
fer, though not always, especially
if the demand is heavier than the
iupply of volunteers.
Even to the accomplished lin-
guist in modern tongues the pros-
pect of tackling Chinese or Hindu-
stani may be forbidding, yet in a
surprisingly short time the youths
are grinning and forming foreign
Speech which their classmates and
teachers can understand.
One extraordinary fact has been
fliscovered in the Chinese depart-
ment; namely, that a Student be-
ginner in one of the many Chinese
dialects often makes better prog-
ress than a native Celestial who can
already speak another dialect, such
as Cantonese, the mother tongue
of most Chinese-Americans. This
is attributed to the fact that the
dialects difter and a person con-
versant with one often finds that
knowledge is a confusing handicap
while the soldier starting fresh has
clear sailing.
Grammar takes a back seat in
the early stages of the language
lip receive chief emphasls. "
Graduates of the gruelling
courses at Penn and elsewhere are
placed in the Air Force, Ground
Force, Signal Corps, Military In-
telligence or Military Government
to perform their special work
abroad.
Probably at no time in history
have so many been learning so
much about exotic lands and lan-
guages in so short a time. These
courses are revolutionizing study
methods and will have important
repercussions in the educational
field after the war.
Mimeographed material serving
as text books for the soldiers is
prepared by faculty authorities on
numerous foreign subjects.
Professors who had only a nod-
ding acquaintance with each other,
keepirff their noses to the educa-
tional grindstone of their respec-
tive departments, have got togeth-
er to work out study sheets that
touch both their fields.
o'-
"Never before has there been
such a co-ordination of courses,
such a bringing together of in-
tellectual resources," comments
Dr. John M. Fogg, Jr., Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences at
the Unlversity. "It's a very stimu-
lating thing.
"We feel that in addition to the
good these courses are doing for
the Army and the Nation, there is
going to be a beneficial effect on
universities where the plan has
been in Operation."
The impact these studies will
have on the lives of thousands of
plastic young American minds of-
fers limitless food for speculation.
"These soldiers,- continues Dean
Fogy, "will emerge from the war
not only with a better understand-
ing of our world neighbors but also
with an appreciation of America's
true picture in international af-
fairs. Any man, for instance, who
has been looking down on the
average Chinese as a coolie will
learn how mistaken he was after
glimpsing their cultural contribu-
tions, after talking with them in
Points of View and learning how
to do business with them."
Dr. Fogg believes that many of
these soldiers may be in line for
good Jobs in civilian life in the
post-war world, serving perhaps as
agents and representatives in for-
eign posts for an expanding Ameri-
can production. But, at home or
abroad, the world will always be a
much smaller one for them —
they'll make poor isolationists.
One of the most surprising ac-i
complishments in the A. S. T. D.
courses is the conquest of some of
the most dif ficult languages in the
World in the short Stretch of nine I
m.onths.
Yet it isn't so hard to discover
the secrets of this rapid progress.
For three-quarters of a year these-
selected solders spend 17 hours a
week in informal but serious
classes studying their new tongue. j
Compare this with three hours per >
week the ordinary College students
devotes to tackling a foreign lan-
guage.
But there's more behind it than
that. Study proceeds under Army
discipline. If a man can't learn
Arabic or Hindustani— and some
high I. Q. tongues, clever as they,
are, just can't waggle those sounds
properly— the chap is put in an-
other language group or may go
into a different type of Army Spe-
cialized Training.
Classes are small, numbering on
the average between six and a
dozen, compared with College class-
es of 25 and 30. Best of all, al-
though each course is under the
guidance of a coUege instructor, an
accomplished linguist, he is assist-
ed by an "Informant," a native who
knows the exact sound and expres-
sion of that particular language.
Finally, the soldiers are quar-
tered in dormitories according to
tjieir language groups and spend
their free time and study hours,
often with the Informant present,
Chattering in Chinese or Arabic.
Under such conditions proficiency
in linguistics flourishes.

THE PRISONER
JT WAii jimt two ycara a^o, In ()ctoh«r. 1914. My
■ Imiiii occupird a iiimll nanihau» (hin) in Cermnny,
JiiHl «nro88 tiie Dntdi Imnlcir. The night was pilcli
(larli and quid, occaaionally inlerrupled hy tlie noise
and iiash of an inconiinp ihell. We aat a round in the
dark room, ailent, wailiuH. Suddenly llio door was
ihiUNt open and Iwo riHrnifMi appearml, dragghig a
hngo Gerinan prisonnr. Allliougli il was duric, 1
iu)uld nee tliat llie prisonrr waii woumlrd, Tiic left
I«g of liis trousers had Immmi torn ofT, rxpofling tlie
ilc«h, and I noticed a wliilo l»andage lielow his Jcnee.
He iiniped on lüs riglit leg. I motioned him to eil
down in a corner of llie room because he was unal)le
to aland. He moaned slightly. My ecrpeant lighted
a cnndle and I loolced at tlie prisoner. He was almut
Ihirly years old, and slrongly hnilt. IWn eyes nhowcd
fear and pain. Hit unifoini was ih« graygreen of
ihe lillle Gnard«, wilh ihe INa/i endileni on the «leeve»
and hu nhonlder «trap« wem ihoHe of a (ieinian p<dice.
man. I realiieed innnedialrly we had a man of one
of llhinnler*B heul unilM. Ile waii «piite an inicresling
«apllve after the old inen of the "Peoples (Jrenadier
HivinioMs" we had had for day«.
I luined to him. "SoldUmhr (payliook). He
fund)le<l in liis coat and lianded it to nie. 1 opcncd
il and found my aHflimiplion roiifirnied. He was a
mrnil»er of the Mrd Klile Ciiarda Police llegiment. I
thiimhetl ihroiiuh hin iiiivIi(miI( in th#» nmi«« u;lw*r#> ili«»
engagementa he had paiti(;ipaled in were listed. Tliere
it was: fights against bondils in Poland. Yugoslavia,
Cfechoslovakia. I knew wlial tliia meant and thought
of the itory of Lidice. Allhough I rcalized it was a
rat her pointicss rcmark to niake du ring a tactical
interrogation, I couhl not help hui say, "1 always
thought that all of Kuropo was united hehind Hitler*8
'New Order/ At least, that is whal I hear from the
Orman radio. Isn*t it true?"
The prisoner hesitated. He was scarehing for an
answcr. Evidently he dldii'l know whelher to teil the
trutli or to Protect his own rccord by claiming thcre
had been fighting. Finally he blurted, "Wc really
never fought anyhody, We just surrounded somc
villages in those coimtries to inainlain *law and order/
while the young men were signing for Voluntary'
labor in Gerniany. You know, there are always sornc
trouble makers, lazy ones who don't want to work
lhein«elve8 and try to k(«ep others from signing up.
Kverylhing we did was very humane and lawful," hc
conciuded.
This unwilling ailmission proved that he was a war
criminal. He was not a liighranking one, bul he had
participated wholeheartedly. He was one of ihosc
who were lost to humanity beyond recovery. Hc
should be exlerrninulcd. I thought how niuch bcttcr
it probably woiild he to shoot him righl there, because
once at higher echelon he would get the protection and
privilrges of a prisoner of war. But I I^ad lo forgel
about personal feflings. My assignmcnt was not to
pronounce judgmenl iipon him; il was lo oblain tac-
tical Information. To find out from ihis man whelhcF
only his Company or bis whole reginient had been
cornmitted on our front might save the lives of many
Americans.
A prisoner put at ease gives heller and more com-
plele information tliari one scared inlo lalking. So
I lold him that if hc answered a few quesliona for ua,
we would fliui a docior to look afler bin wonnJ \U
talked readily enoiigli thrn and gave a complele pic-
lure of what he knew. 1 knew he was not lying, be-
cause everylhing he said dovelailed wilh information
known lo us already. After I had pumped him dry,
I phoned the 8-2 seclion and gave thein ihe informa-
tion. Then 1 callrd the medical aid Station for an
ambulance for the prisoner.
I had done a good Job of inlerrogaling and I had
followed slrictly army rcgulalions and the Geneva
Convention. Hut I was not very happy about il, for
in spile of all this, I feil that I had helped a criminal
to escape.

including officers whose appointments are in effect at the time the
Act becomes law, except in the case of any such officer who expressly
declines in writing to have his current appointment continued for an
indefinite term. It is expected that this proposed legislation will

Dear Dr. Newton:
Greetings from Carlisle Barracks ! Thank you for your letter
postmarked August 23rd, your interest and support of our World
War II Survey Project. It is a pleasure to hear from you.
May I teil you a little about the Institute? The U.S. Army
Military History Institute is the Army's central repository for
historical source material. The Institute strives to perpetuate
the history and traditions of the Army, its role in the
development of the United States, and the lives of the men and
women involved in its development. Since its inception in 1967,
the Institute has sought to bring together historical source
materials docuitienting the history of U.S. Army and its soldiers.
The Institute 's holdings of over 300,000 books, 10,000 bound
periodicals, 7,000,000 manuscripts, and 1,000,000 photographs
have been described by visiting scholars as the finest collection
of its kind in the nation. These collected materials are made
available to researchers and scholars who visit, write, or phone
the Institute. Each year thousands of people from all over
American and all over the world use our holdings: authors,
Professors, students, researchers, veterans, genealogists, and

materials relating exclusively to the roles of the military in
the development of the United States making the USAMHI the finest
military research library in the United States and one of the
best in the world.
Among our material, World War II is one of the strengest and
most frequently studied fields. We hope to further strengthen
our holdings on that war; therefore, we are asking veterans to
record their recollections--an important source of Information
for historians and researchers. One of our efforts currently
underway is the World War II Survey Questionnaire, copy enclosed,
as well as a flyer which describes our project in greater detail.
This is an effort to collect primary source material from
veterans and their families for the sake of preserving it for
history. This survey is similar to our previous surveys on the
Spanish-American War and World War I, both of which were
tremendously successful. With your help and the help of your
fellow veterans, I feel confident that this current survey will
take its place as one of our nation' s finest primary source
material on World War II.
-2-
When the survey was designed we attempted to develop
questions which would pertain to a wide spectruiti of World War II
veterans and their experiences in and out of combat. As you can
Image, it would virtually be impossible to design a survey which
would exactly pertain to every Veteran. In this regard, we
encourage the Veteran to reflect on their Service and
contributions, and to modify the survey to meet their specific
World War II experiences. Although, the survey focuses towards
the Army ground forces, we have received numerous completed
surveys from Navy, Marines, and Air Force. All veterans are
welcome to participate. Let me also mention that we are the only
branch of service doing this particular type of project.
The vast majority of our holdings comes to us through people
who have an active interest in the preservation of our nation's
military heritage. Our holdings include the personal papers of
hundreds of prominent generals, and thousands of junior officers
and enlisted men and women whose Services contributed to American
military history from the colonial period to the present.
Preserving history is very important — and the only way we can
accomplish this mission is through the generosity of veterans,
their f amilies, friends, and through veterans' organizations .
Though our holdings have grown to sizeable proportions
through the good graces of veterans, their families, and
interested Citizens, we are constantly seeking new donations. We
are interested in sources which reflect the many and varied parts
of the Army experience, both peacetime and wartime. Our papers
ränge from those of recruits to those of Generals-in-Chief and
Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of .st^ff. .qnlHio-rc: win^^ o^-ttt^h -; lo -^
supporting role are of as much interest as soldiers who were in
front-line combat units. Likewise, we seek materials not only
from regulär Army troops but also from soldiers in the National
Guard, the Reserves, state and territorial volunteers and
militia, and the Confederate army. Related papers of Army
spouses and children also interest us.
The type of material the Institute is seeking includes :
diaries, memoirs, letters, V-Mail, books, photographs, films,
maps, illustrations, unit histories, insignia/unit patches,
camp/unit newspapers, correspondence and official reports . The
Institute does not collect uniforms, flags, weapons, equipment,
munitions, or plaques.
Donations are established in the Veteran 's name and unit,
entered into an electronic database, and then processed by our
Archives Branch which inventories, catalogs, cross-ref erences,
and Stores the material in acid-free folders and boxes, and
maintained in a humidity controlled environment. Under these
carefully controlled conditions, your material will be preserved.

given the professional care, and shared now and with future
generations of scholars, historians, researchers, and many others
to study. At the Institute your material will have a permanent
home and will stand as an enduring record of your service to cur
Army and our country — an honored part of our nation's military
heritage. We would be honored and would value the privilege of
becoming the custodian of your material.
You are cordially invited to visit the Institute. We are
open Monday through Friday from 8:00-4:30, except for federal
holidays .

Ical source materlal. Our holdlngs of over 236,700 books, 50,201 perlodlcals, 5,100,000
pleces of personal papers, and 730,000 photographs on mllltary hlstory make us the f Inest
mllltary llbrary In the United States and one of the best In the entlre world. Clvlllan
and unlformed hlstorlans from all over thls country and from abroad come here to study the
hlstory of our American armed forces. Veterans themselves and thelr famllles also make
extensive use of our holdlngs.
Among our materlal, World War II Is one of our strongest and most frequently studied
flelds. However, we deslre to strengthen further our holdlngs on that war. Thus, we are
asklng veterans to donate thelr hlstorlcal records of that war. We seek books, camp and

Hlstory for Incorporatlon Into the Army 's museum System.
We are also asklng veterans to record thelr recollectlons on the accompanylng ques-
tlonnalre. Your recollectlons are an Important source of Information for hlstorlans and
researchers. Because of thelr unlqueness and Importance, we urge you to take the tlme and
effort to complete the attached questlonnalre. If you need more Space or want to address
matters not speclflcally addressed, please use the contlnuatlon sheet provlded at the end
of the questlonnalre.
The enclosed franked malllng label will enable you to send materlal to the Institute
wlthout paylng postage. Addltlonal labeis can be provlded If needed, and arrangements can
be made for shlpplng large holdlngs of such materials.
Thousands of veterans and thelr famllles have already made uncondltional glfts of
thelr materlal. Now you are belng asked to do the same. Here at the Institute your
personal papers and other Items will have a permanent home and be preserved and protected
under carefully controlled condltlons. Here, too, your items will be made available to
Student 8 of our country 's mllltary hlstory. And here they will stand as a record of your
Service — an honored part of our nation's mllltary herltage. You have already served
America in tlme of war; now you can serve her agaln by contributlng your papers to the
Mllltary Hlstory Institute. We hope you will agree to do so. We would value the prlvi-
lege of recelvlng and carlng for them. Thank you for considering our appeal,

Dear Lieutenant Newton:
Thank you £or your two letters o£ July 15 th.
Children's eligibility as SBP beneficiaries is explained in the enclosed extract
o£ the DoD Survivor Benefit Plan regulation. Since your youngest child is no
longer eligible, deductions £rom your retired pay should be discontinued. To do
this, please write to the U. S. Ariny Finance and Accounting Center, Retired Pay
Operations, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46249.
With regard to the Honorary Reserve, perhaps the best way to explain this is to
Start with the law idiich defines the Reserve forces £or all the armed £orces. It
is the Armed Forces Reserve Act o£ 1952, Public Law 82-476. Excerpts o£ the legis-
lative history o£ that law are enclosed. As you can see, this Statute brought uni-
£ormity into the Situation o£ the Reserve £orces. Among other things, commissioned
o££icers' appointments were changed to an inde£inite term and the Retired Reserve
was established as a completely voluntary portion or tlie Reserve cömponents .
Prior to the enactment of the 1952 Act, the Army had a number o£ titles £or the
various sections o£ the Army Reserve. Among them were:
0££icers* Reserve Corps
Enlisted Reserve Corps
Tnactive Section, 0££icer*s Reserve Corps
Inactive Section, Enlisted Reserve Corps
Auxiliary Reserve
Uhassigned Reserve
Inactive Reserve
Honorary Reserve
In 1952 all these were simply included in one o£ these three new categories --
Ready Reserve
Standby Reserve
Retired Reserve
You were retired by reason o£ physical disability in April 1946. Your appointment
in the Honorary Reserve at that thne was the equivalent o£ the Retired Reserve under
the Armed Forces Reserve Act o£ 1952. Your commission was, undoubtedly, £or a £ive
year period. Thus, a£ter the 1952 Act was implemented, you were probably o££ered
and accepted an inde£inite term appointment and the chances are that this was in
the Retired Reserve.
IstLT H. P. Newton, AUS,Retired APO Miami 34020
July 23, 1981
We hope this explanation is adequate. I£ not, please send us a copy o£ your
Reserve appointments . . . we should then be able to provide you additional in-
f ormation .
Sincerely,
CARL G. FRANKE

SÜBJECT: Blectlon for Retlrement Pay Benefits ünder the Provisions of
Public Law 351 (Bist Congrees)
TO:
First Lieutenant Harvey P. Newton

C. $157.50
1. Puramnt to the requlrements of Bxecutire Order No. 10124, 25
April 1950, the Secretary of the Army has directed me to advise you that
your case has been consldered for increased retirement pay benefits under
Public Law 351, eist Congress.
2. It has been determined that you were 40^ disabled at the time
you were retired or granted retirement pay, and that you have 5 years
actire senrice credit iindar Public Law 351. You are, therefore, entitled
to receive disability retirement pay at the new monthly rate shown after
either "A" or "B" above. The amonnt shown after "A» is the monthly rate
computed on the percentage of your disability and is wholly exempt from
income tax. The amount shown after "B" is the monthly rate computed on
the basis of your years of active service. Your present rate of disabil-
ity retirement pay under the old pay gchedule is set forth after «C« and
is wholly tax exempt,
3. You may elect to receive one of the amoimts shown in "A« or "B"
above or you may elect to continue to receive your present pay as shown
in «C". A form letter is inclosed for your use in advising this office
of your election. You will continne to receive disability retirement pay
in the amount shown in «C« above unless you elect (within the five year
period beginning 1 October 1949) to receive pay as shown in "A" or »B»,
The effective date for retirement pay benefits has been established as*
1 October 1949.
4. In arriving at the percentage of disability shown in paragraph
2 above, consideration was given not only to the specific disability for
which you were retired. but all disabilities appearing on your medical
records at the time you were retired. These records included your
retiring board proceedings with all exhibits thereto (disposition board,
report of physical examination, and other medical records appearins in
your file).

Dear Editor:
As I live in Costa Rica atiido not get the "AirPbau" regualrly, I am not very
familiär v/ith the controversy about whether Jews did or did not serve in the
Aryi^y of tbe Third Reife. However, friends mailed ine a cl ipuing ( I do not
know from^what issue), where Mr. Abraham H. Poxman gives an explanation of
why this issue wars raised. I do nol^know how many oorriments you have
received on tiiis iteirus, but while Mr. Foxman, repersents a very distiguinhed
Organization, which I supuort, his explanation is at best misl'eading. ^
1. Air Marshall Erhard Mich; His legal father and whose name he carri ed was defi-
nitely Jewish. I remember the the wispered conversations of my parents, and other
Jewish frineds, that Mr. Milch Sr. attended the Jewish Services, that oSring
had said: "Wer Jude ist bestimme ich" (l decide, wli o is Jewish), and that
Milch 's mother had been convinced or forced to sign aidkffidavit, saying
that l'Ir. Milch, her husband was not the actual fahter of Erhard Milch,
but an "aryan" person. The latter is confirmed in a book I have in front
of me: "Who was \Vho in tfe^Third Reich" by Robert Vistrich, (German Edition)
Harnack Verlag , München 1983, p. 187.
2. Other paeple with Jewish blood. ;Vhen Hitler took power in Germany there
were 5 - 600 000 Jews in Germany. These were persons, whose 3 or four ßrand-
parent were born in the Jewish faith. a^d who themselves belonged to ^the
Jewxsh faith. However, there were about 1.5 mill^ion pe )ple in OeVmany
who had some Jewish blood in them, inc^uding some verv fanc^ aristoorats
and sup-)osedly member of the armed forces like Gen. von Haramerstein ( I am
unable to confirm the name here, but he was the predeeessor of von Seekt in the
"Reichswehr"/.
V.Tien the Nazi governemtn passed tbtdecree for obigatorv military service
I bolieve in I^larch 35, Jews were placed in "Ersatareserve II, i'.e. those'reser-
ves to be called only in a rreat aaergeny. Later , I do not remerber the date.
Jews were declared "wehrunwürdig" ( i.e. they could not be blessed v/ith
the dignity to wear the country's uniform). However, this aüplied only to those
who had 3 or 4 Jewish grandparents, and who for one reason or other professed '
to belong to the Jewish faith. Polpple, who had been born ns non-Jews, but
had two Jewish grandparents, were half-Jews under the Nazi laws, and oblip:ated
to serve, alt ough they could never expect a promotion. People wih just one
Jewish grand^>arent, I believe, were raore or less accepted, but had a black
mark ap:ainst themselves.
A historian raight have tlie precise answer. I am just a soll scientist and
wrote about tr is subject, what I remember. //-•—-- '

Dr. Kriz, in my opinion, is orie of the world 's outstanding geologl«5t
He found a lot of oil for Chevron once, then changed to be a Consultant, and
consl\tited m Bolivia (where he also tra med the Geol. Service), tetr»^ JU I/qW-; ^
Panama, Gabor and a few other places. Under the previous CR governemti, he '
was CR. Consul in Prag, but thfe gover^eitt has eliminated all honorary
positions. He got his Ph.D. from Princeton, and thanks to his eyes, never
sa.w military Service. He arrived in the US p,s an exÄige student in 38. 'and
got hii parents out of CJisechoslovakia after the comTnunist take-over.
rter the communists were thrown out, he got his famlly's house back, and
now ST^ends part of the year here, and part ir Prag. He just left, and I exnect
him ba^k m CR by the end of 97 or Jan. 98. He is not Jewish.
His siter,v^^o was yon^ier than he, (he is March 1919) died a few years a/ro .
His brobher in law is Jewish, although he never macje any use of it.

Dear Dr. Harv/ey rvleuton;
I sincerely hope that you do not mind if I urite
to yüu once more in regard to my Army Service
during Iü.üJ.2 as a German Refugee uho was drafted
after entering the U.S. in 5 months, My stnry
really sound like a book and of course have not
anyone uho could help me to put it doun into right
uords.
Your last letter mentioned that you had turned over
copies of the letters to the JlüV/ uho sunpose have
Started a project to document Service during LüüJ2.
I am a member of the J'd]\/,Post 385 ,5an Diego, but
have not heard from the J'jJU that you had mentioned.
Truly,my story is quite interesting,having to leave
Germany after Dachau, for Shanghai, China and conse-
quently entered the U.S. in 19^0 and having been
drafteij into the U .S.Army in March of 19^1,almost
ujithin ? months before Pearl Harbor and for the
duration for.me. Also,I have been a participant

Dear Dr , Newton
Your letter mailed on May 31 was forwarded t
Florida were I now live the year around .
o me in
I find your observations ver
y interesting. Probably I
am one of the many exceptions to the Camp Ritchie crowd
which has so far
not been documented
Since you have taken the initiati
ve to develop a data
base of Berman/Austr ian refugees having served in the US
Armed Forces, I would suggest that you submit this
Information to the Leo Baeck Institute and/or the Holocaust
Museum in Washington. Perhaps the Shoah Foundation headed by
Stephen Spielberg, who is developing video backgrounds of
survivors world-wide might also be interested.
My own background proves your point. This is as
f o 1 lows :
po
I o IUI cf ly X dfn
on December 11, 1938. Stayed in England including
internment for several months, until April 1943 when
I left for New York joining my mother who had come
directly to the States in 1940 via Portugal.
E. Was drafted into the Navy in October of 1943; after
Boot Camp was assigned to the Seabees joining the
55th Battalion as a replacement in New Guinea. Spent
about a year on Mios Wundi, a small island off Biak
north of New Guinea (Dutch Colony) mostly working
on Engineering assignments in the building of a
major Navy base. Due to a major illness
was shipped
back to the States by about January 1 , 1945 and
discharged as Sl/c shortly after V~E Day
As you can see the Armed Services did not take
advantage of my bi-lingual background plus top education in
Austria and some Engineering training in England. However I
found being in the Navy a great experience and it hastened
my American assimilati
environment •
n in an essentially none-jewish
In all my travels since then I have met anyone of
Jewish Austr ian/German background who was^ in the Navy or for
that matter in the Seabees. I certainly proves your point.
I was in Costa Rica about two years ago and greatly
enjoyed the trip seeing a good part the country with
Eldertracks, a Canadian Organization Sponsoring Walking and
wildlife tours. I am sorry I did not know of you at that
t ime.
Please let me know if I can be of any assistance to
you
P.S. After September 15 I will be at a new address, ^01 E.

n . "'f^^^*! ? ^"PP^"^ legislation to allow Medicare to reimburse the Department of
Defense (DoD) for care provided to Medicare-eligible military beneficiaries in military
treatment facilities (MTFs), a concept called "Medicare Subvention".
Military retirees and their families are entitled to medical treatment in MTFs on a
Space availablebasis. However, this is an unfulfilled commitment because budget cuts
have forced military Hospital Commanders to deny health care to retirees 65 and older
Older retirees, who fought in World War II, Korea and Vietnam, are especially hard hit.
To Compound the problem, Medicare-eligible retirees and their spouses are being
locked out of Tricare Prime (DoD's HMO-like plan). Thafs because DoD's approprfated
do ars, which go for CHAMPUS and MTF Operations, are diminishing. DoD asserts it
will have virtually no "space available" care for older retirees, since current law doesn't
allow Medicare to reimburse DoD for care it provides to retirees over 65. DoD actuallv
can treat older retirees for less than Medicare would pay civilian providers, but says it
can t afford to enroll Medicare-eligible retirees in the Tricare program unless Congress
changes the law to allow reimbursement from Medicare (Subvention). Without vonr heln
in enaciing Subvention, older military retirees will be limited to using Medicare in the '"
civilian Community at higher cost to everyone - Medicare, taxpayers and beneficiaries.

Sehr geehrter Herr Newton,
über Ihre Zuschrift habe ich mich sehr gefreut.
Herzlichen Dank auch für die Mühe, die Sie sich mit der Nennung von Namen
und Adressen gemacht haben. Ich plane einen Dokumentarfilm über die
Ceschichte Schlesiens in diesem Jahrhundert. Deutsch-jüdische, christlich-
deutsche und christlich-polnische Familien sollen ihr Schicksal vorder »^-„orj,
erzählen. Auch möchte ich zeigen, wie sie heule leben. Deshalb hätte ich einige
Fragen und b.tte Sie höflichst, diese schriftlich zu beantworten. Haben Sie keine
Scheu enien langen Brief zu schreiben. Je länger und ausführlicher desto besser.
Erzählen Sie mir bitte Einzelheiten Ihres Lebens vor dem Krieg in Breslau
- Kmdheit, Jugend, Schule (jüdisch oder nicht-jüdisch?)-spezielle
Kindherts- und Jugenderlebnisse-christüche und/oder jüdische Freunde?
Das Verhalten von christlichen Schülern ihnen gegenüber-der erste Anti-
Semitismus-VVie äul?erte sich dieser?
Was war Breslau eigentlich für eine Stadt?
(Klein-/großstädtisch, spielSig, eng, muffig, offen, liberal, tolerant ...)
Wo kommen Ihre Eltern/ Großeltern her? (Beruf, religiös oder nicht, oder
nur die Emhaltung der hohen Feiertage-Erinnerungen an die Synagoge
judische Erziehung oder nicht?) y b b^,
Wie fühlten Sie sich damals - als Deutscher, Schlesier, Preu(?e lüde ?
Bitte begründenSiedas. Was ist/ war Ihre Heimat?
VVciiMi sind Sie eiiii^ricrl und wohin? Bille die äußeren UnisUinde
schildern und die Überlegungen, die Sie damals mit Ihren HItern angestellt
haben.
Die Geschichte Ihrer Emigration (Neuanfang im neuen Land,
Sprachprobleme, Aufbau einer neuen ILxistenz ...)
Der erste Kontakt mit Deutschland nach dem Krieg (möglicherweise
Besuch).
Ihr heutiges Verhältnis zu Deutschland, zu den Deutschen und zu der
Geschichte. (Kann man überhaupt vergessen oder vergeben? Ist der
Holocaust eine Barriere in Kontakt mit Deutschen zu treten?
Zui^mer Person:
ich bin 55 Jahre alt und wurde in Mecklenburg als Sohn eines Schauspielerpaares
geboren. Mein Vater (heute tot) war kein Nazi, meine Mutter auch nicht (sie ist
79 Jahre alt und lebt in Köln) sie hatte Kontakte zu Juden während der Nazizeit.
Ich habe einige Filme über die deutsch-jüdische Emigration für das Deutsche
Fernsehen gemacht, u.a. einen Film über Else Lasker-Schüler, das Warenhaus
Leonhard Tietz in Köln und eine israelische Familie in Essen etc. Außerdem
habe ich ein Buch produziert mit dem Titel "Die verheißene Stadt - Deutsch-
jüdische Emigranten in New York."
Es wäre sehr nett und freundlich von Ihnen, wenn Sie mir wieder schreiben
würden, damit ich weiter planen kann.
Haben Sie herzlichen und lieben Dank für Ihr Interesse und für Ihre Mühe.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Dear Terry:
Thank .you for yoixr Xmas oard and letter. Su?ianna seems to be more or less baok
to normal, i.e. sort of lire sß was before sb went to tfi U.K. or you oame.
Sinoe she oarae back, I have s pent a fortune in phone oalis, trying to supoort
her. Now it seems we are baok to th e once a week call. While you were in Washing-
ton she a.otully had stonped oalling me. She was terib^y upset about you, and
also that she was closely searched by the U.S. Customs. I guess steÄseeined
Suspicious to T^bm, with her Af rioanbackgro-nd , not having a very good Job,
and having made more tkan one trip to the U.K.
The whole situat^ion is a mystery to rae, esp. in view of your letter and
phone call. So far I have not raentined your letter, but I may sou© cLa-y»
I asked her: "Why dld you leave (the U.K.)." She says : "He told me to leave".
Furtherniore ker c jraments are, that " I have been used".
Furthermore she made comments like: "all I have to shw for my trip are
some photos a.'id nostcards". He left in the morning, anrl went to buy books or
similar . She seems to thinl<lyou buy a lot of books, but will not spend money
ot!\erwise, i.e. sTb feels sVe Gooked"gorment meals", but y^ever was taken out.
I repeat al\i t is for you, so you can get an idea,but plea^e never
teil her I>töld y^u these com^reAs.
^o as I said above, I do not underst«\.nd what wenüwrong between the
two of you,^TS she feels you no longer loved her, and you teil me dfferent,
JDh-3 ö\f> «K*^yt^e d her ohone nunber, wen s^e oa.^ne b^o-, and h^s ohanged it again.
ijio not know, if ^e got letters froinlyo , andkf so, I believe sM Befuses to
read tthem. '
So I do not know, w!iat I can do. As you teil me, you stllwould like to
marry her, I woiild love to helrWouand get tl^is problem solved, but I do
not See how I canLdo anything, beoause, if I start pusing her, i,e. ,
talk to her, tla.i|ma:^be stie should talk to you etc. sfe raayget the idea, tat
I at« agaTnst her,,
The rept of yo ijt letter: Ikm not exaotlv studying the Nazi period. I am always
very interef ted in it,being a Hitler refu/ree. 1 have written up my experienoes
in the Buchenwald conoentrati on camp during the progrom in Nov. 1938
I have gotten s ome compliments for my style, i.e."a very faotual report'J but
have been critized for it being"too German.' After I get my Xmac cards out,
I intend to mall you also a copy, as I now If^ave it in ^erman. Engl, and
Spanish.
Interesting wiiat you write about thibs bo,ok about the Freikorps. I wlSL try to
get it.'' Hitlers wil| ing execi^tioners I saw while in the US now, but did not
get very far in readlng it. I have heard two disoussions ( I get it on tapej , .
in*^Newsweek" magazina. My frir^d Dr. Werner Agnress, who is Prof . Emeritus CV^^^"^)
of the State Univ. of N.Y. and :s from Berlin, and lives fthere agaii, tr.inks
it is a very bad book, and I tend to agree withhim, w&thout having really
read it. It seems very strongly a detailed h^istory of some of the units kill ing
poeple in the East. Howevt r to say that all Germans were happily kil^ling
is a great oversimplif icat ion. I kjnow of many decent Germaa, who ^elped ^o
vote Hitler inbo power, and then were apflaled at what happend, 1 know
others , who were in almost open op^sosition to him, and wen the war came
they volunteered to fight for Germany, and of course Eitler. And so oon.
üo I do not know, if tliis letter is of a y help to you.
All the best for Xmas and 1997, .

Dear friends:
There is not miich to reporb about me ' f or 1996. I started the jear bodly by
landin.fT in the hospital on Jan. 2, and rerfi'ini-/T there fcr almos b three v/eeks,
I had one of ray arberies clogged iip^ whioh was opened for me again. In spite
of advice of my medioal friends, and to the horror of some of my friends elsewhere,
I deoided to stay in Costa Rica, and had the "Ängioplasni" done here. I think
they did an extremely good job, and I feel yoimger and more energetio since
then, The first days in the hoopital were not very pleasant^ but onoe I was
in the ooronary ward, I had exoellent oare and all the coniforts of a private
room.
The main event for rae this year, was the get-together with some old friends,
most of them from our Gross-Breesen group, and some others, on the New Jersey
shore on Cot. 4 - 6, organized by my dear friends Eva Neisser, Vineland, N,J,
and George Landeoker, Barneveld, N.T. We were 36 people this year. Inge
Rosenthal oame all the way from Rclandia, Parana , Brazil and Col.(rt.) Isi •
Kirshrot from Taooma, WA. Both were in the hospital last year^ but are very
well again. Also my friend Dr, Rifat Barokas, originally from Istambul (otherwise
from Reston, VA) could oome. I>ast year he flew off to Cairo one day before the
event. - IVhen we celebrated my 75th birthday last year in this fashi6n*'eeveral
people thought it would be a good idea to repeat the meeting every year, while
we are still in shape to travel. So hopefully we will manage some more meetings.
Costa Rica also started the year badly, in that a German tourist and a Swiss
born tourist guide were kidnaped, and it took 71 days to get the two women
releasei^, Aijl event, which hurt the tourist trade here badly. JBxoept for such : ' i >
problems;^-is still nioe, althougli most roads consist only of holes neit to eaeh
other, As the dry season just started some are being repaired.
I wish all of you a very nice holiday season, and a healthy, happy 1997.
Sinoerely,
Harvey, Hermann, Prinz (take your choice) l
P.S. l) Sorry, if I repeat myself to some of you: My report on my "visit" to
the Buchenwald conoentration camp in 1938 is now available in German, English, and
Spanish. I request of all of you, who are interested to get it, to teil me so.
Also I request that those, who got it previously confirm the arrival to me. I
Wailed about 100 oopies of the German Version in June 1995, and I established
definitely, that a fair nuraber I sent to tfe USA and Europe, did'not arrive.
2) Those of you, who are refugees from Nazisn, regardlsss, when you left Germany
or Austria, please fill in the enolosed form to cooperate with the "survivors
Registry" of the U.S. Holocaust I-iuseum in Washington, D. C . i believe this ia a
historic effort long overdue. If you do so, please make additional Xerox copies
and fill them in for friends, deoeased parents etc. to make the registry as
comulete as can be.

Den r Dr. Newton,
Your letter to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of 11 December
1977 has been referred to me for reply.
The Position taken by Somalia slnce its independence towards
Israel lias been and remains hostile. Somalia was admitted to the United
Nations thanks to Israelis favourable vote, but this did not induce the Somalian
Government to show any sigh of gratitude. Somalia has foUowed the Line taken
by the Arab League and remains up to now anti-Israeli. If there was any
different thought iniSomalia, it dit not reflect in the regime's attitude.
Since the break of diplomatic relations on the part of the reginie
of Emperor Hailie Siellasse Israel has no relations with Ethiopia or its
present regime. There is certainly no support from Israel to Ethiopia, and
any news diffused on such support are without foundation.

Hello Harvey, »^
Ich wollte ja schon langst geschrieben haben, aber wie immer ist es bei dem
Vorsatz geblieben. Ich hoffe, Sie erinnern sich noch - Carla »s Freundin -
und wir verbrachten einige sehr nette und interessante Stunden mit Ihnen in
Ihrem schoenen Haus in San Jose. Lege auch ein Bild bei was sehr gut
geworden ist, damit Sie sich auch besser erinnern können.
Es sind ja schon wieder fast 4 Monate vergangen seit wir in Cos|:a Rica waren
und es wird nicht mehr lange dauern, und ich werde auf .meinen nächsten Urlaub
gehen, denn am 17 . 9. fliege ich ab nach Deutschland für 3 Wochen, meinen
Sohn, Verwandte und Freunde zu besuchen. 3 Wochen ist ja nicht sehr lange
aber alles was ich im Moment machen kann wo ich arbeite und muss froh sein,
dass sie mir das noch geben. Wie ich Ihnen ja vielleicht sagte, mein Sohn
ist seit Anfang März drüben und arbeitet für eine amerikanische Firma, doch
stellen Sie sich vor, ist die mittlerweile verkauft worden an eine andere
amerikanische Firma. Nun hängt er naturlich i^n der Luft und weiss noch nicht
ob er dort bleiben kann was er ja gerne tun wurde. Er meinte für 2,^- 5 Jahre
wurde er gerne in Europa arbeiten was ich auch gut fände, denn er konnte ja
wohl allerhand lernen. Ja, so weiss man heute nie wo man morgen ist, keine
sehr gute Zeit mehr und ich bin recht froh, dass ich keine 2 7 Jahre mehr bin.
Ich habe Verwandte in Berlin und Strausberg sowie auch in Darmstadt und
Freunde in Regensburg und Wien. Mal sehen, was ich machen kann. Nach Berlin
will ich/auf jeden Fall da ich dann mit meinem Cousin in die alte Heimat
fahren mochte, nahe bei Kustrin, jetzt polnisch. Wollte ja meinem Sohn auch
zeigen wo meine roots sind, nun weiss ich aber nicht ob das möglich sein
wird.
Harvey, ich habe auch Ihren Bericht gelesen von der Kristallnacht und
Buchenwald und bin ja nur froh, dass Sie so gut weggekommen sind. Das waren
schlimme Zeiten, oder der Anfang von schlimmen Zeiten unter denen sehr viele
Leute gelitten haben. Es ist gut sowas zu lesen, denn ich war ja noch zu
klein und wusste nicht was vor sich ging. überhaupt haben wir ja auf dem
Lande gelebt, mein Vater war FÖrster, weit weg von allem.
Ich fand es wunderbar, dass Sie die Tatsachen so berichten konnten ohne jeden
Hass, zumindest habe ich keine HassgefÄhle bemerkt in Ihrem Bericht. Hass
hat keinen praktischen Wert und zerstört nur die Leute die ihn empfinden.
Ich selber habe auch keinen Hass gegen die Russen, und muss sagen, finde die
polnische Familie, die jetzt in der Wohnung meiner Grosseltern lebt und wo
ich wsihrend der Schulzeit die Woche über war, sehr nett. Als ich zum
erstenmal vor 4 Jahren dort war, wusste ich nicht ganz was ich empfinden
wurde, aber ich muss sagen, sowie ich in die Wohnung trat und sie sah, mochte
ich sie sofort leiden. Wir schreiben uns seitdem, habe sie wieder besucht
und will in diesem Jahr auch wiederv^ Mache auch gerade ein Paket fertig mit
Kleidung, denn diese Leute haben nicht viel.
Meinen Eltern hat der Krieg alles gekostet was sie auf Erden hat|:en, Hab und
Gut und Heimat verloren, mein Vater war Gefangener in Russland für 2 Jahre
und wurde mit dem 2. Transport zurück geschickt in 1945. nachdem der Krieg zu
Ende war, denn er wog nur 87 Pfund. Wir selber sind Flüchtlinge, haben sehr
viel mitgemacht und dass ich noch lebe vejrdanke ich nur einer russischen
Doktorin, die meiner Mutter sagte, sie brauchte sich keine Hoffnung mehr
machen, mir aber doch irgendeine Spritze gab, wahrscheinlich penicillin, die
mir am Ende dann doch half. Ja, nun lebe ich schon seit 1957 in
"Feindesland" ha, deshalb kann ich ja auch keinen hassen, denn ansonsten
musste man ja die qanze Welt hassen, geht ja garnicht. Ich kann aber wir lieh
diesen Krieg im früheren Yugoslavien nicht verstehen. Mein Gott, haben diese
Leute denn nicht genug gelitten? Das ist doch ein richtiger Bruderkrieg,
denn die Familien sind ja doch alle nicht mehr "reinl^ssig" . Ich will das
schon garnicht mehr am T.V. sehen und darüber lesen.
Genug davon. Wir haber^ jetzt unseren richtig typischen Sommer mit VkT. Grad
und also nicht die schönste Zeit des Jahres. Gehe jeden Abend nach 9 Uhr
schwimmen in unserem Community pool und da ist das Wasser zu warm. Daher war
ich recht froh, als ich über 4. of July für 4 Tage nach San Fancisco fliegen
konnte un^ dort alle Freunde besuchen die ich lange nicht mehr gesehen hatte
und das kuhlere Wetter geniessen. öie Sonne schien, aber.es war halt nicht
heiss und San Francisco ist nun mal eine der schönsten Städte der Welt.
Harvey, soviel ich mich erinnere wollten Sie doch auch in die Staaten kommen
irgendwann im September oder Oktober. Wurde mich freuen wenn Ihre Strasse
auch nach Phoenix/Scottsdale führen sollte zu der Zeit wo ich hier bin.
Lassen Sie mich wissen, ob die MSglichkeit besteht nach hier zu kommen.
Hoffentlich kommt der Brief an, denn der an Erika ist nicht angekommen aber
ich glaube Cecilia hat ihn bekommen mit Bildern. Hoffentlich ist die
Anschrift auf Ihrem Brief genug, denn ansonsten habe ich ja keine andere.
Damit schliesse ich nun für heute, denn meine lunch hour ist vorbei hier im
Büro und ich muss mich wieder an die Arbeit machen. Hoffe es geht Ihnen gut
und dass ich mal von Ihnen höre.

Dear Dr. Newton;
Please forgive me for not answering your very kind letter dated July 12,1997. Due to me
absence for a trip to Detroit ,Chicago and the Northwoods of Wisconsin and immediately
thereafter to Europe and to catch up with the mail and to continue my duties as a volunteer
with various institutions and now to catch up with my social obligations I was just not able to
get around answering some of the letters that had accumulated on my desk.
Thank you ever so much for wrting to me and also for the enclosed Biography of Mr. Fried-
man as well as " The Erinnerungen an das K.Z.Buchenwald'which was highly interesting to
me and much of it teils my own story.
Unfortunately, I have never received anything about the Holocaust from the VFW, although
I am a life member and frankly I believe that they dod not have any interest for my story.
Well,at any rate,in the meantime I was interviewed and videoed by the Steven Spielberg
Foundation which took over 2 Vz hours and already received a copy of the tape.To refresh my
memory I ordered from a local bookstore a copy of "Japanese,Nazis &Jews,but found that he
wrote to much of other stories and not all of it of Shanghai,but did get some of if for my inter-
view I had with the Spielberg Foundation.
Now,not to bore you with much of my own story,! thought to give you a "short"description of
it.
I was bom in April of 1914,shortly before the outbreak of W.Wl,and although was only 4or 5
years old I do remember some of it.At any rate, I gratuated from Grammer school,Middle
school,Real school and Oberreal school and took French and English private lessons
Believe me, about in 1936 I was called upon to appear for the German Draft and after a
physical examination my application was stamped with a large "J" on it and that was it.
I witnessed the evolution of the Nazi Party ever since the middle of the 1920s and like most
everyone did not think it to be very serious,until I became aware when they bumed the Main
Synagogue where I became Bar Mitzwah on November 9* and was taken to Dachau the day
after. Previously I had purchased a ticket for New York at the time when I applied for a visa
with the Consulate in Stuttgart,but upon retum was instructed that my quota number would not
be taken into consideration for the next 4 years. However,the fact that I still had the New York
Steamship toicket to sail by the end of 1938,they released me about the middle of December to
leave Germany within 10 days. Upon applying for a German Passport a person in line asked
me where I was going and when I shrugged my sholulder he told me that he and his family
where going to Shanghai,China,which was a godsend to me because after exchanging my New
York ticket I immediately bought one with a Italien Shipping line that left from Genua,Italy
which was on the 9''' day after my release from Dachau. Needless to ,mention my stay in
Shanghai,because my books have been written,but I was able to get a Job with Sassoon , due to
the fact that I knew English well enough to become the Manager of the Real Estate Dept.
After 2 years in Shanghai I was able to receive a visa and on Sept.2,1940 sailed to San
Francisco and ultimately to New York and thereafter to Detroit. In March of 1941,after 6
months of my arrival in the U.S. I was drafted into the military and after some training and
schooling was shipped overseaes to England where eventually participated at the hivasion at
Omaha Beach and took part of every battle throughout France,Belgian and Germany, One of
them was the battle of StLo,the liberation of Paris,battle of the bulge,and crossing the Rhine at
Remagen before the bridge was bombed and feil into the river. There were many other instan-
ces that I could mention but for gigving you my story in a ;Nuttshell;so to say.
I was used as a interpreter during some,but mostly after the war and by wars end had been in
Service for almost 5 years,so when I was asked to participate at the Nuemberg Trial doind
translations of German Documents into English and the fact that this was volunteerely,I
decided not to do so and eventually was discharched at the end of 1945.
I am now almost 84 years of age,but fortunately still very active with Community Service Also /\

Lieber Herr va^: Rahcen :
Es liegt mir schon lan^e auf der Seel, dass ich Ihren 15rief vom 2"'. Okt. bisher nicht
beantwortet habe, besonders da sie ja sicher Ihre Arbeit fristbedingt machen
Als Ihr brief vom Okt. 27 ankam war ich nicht sehr in Schuss, und musste mich sehr
ausruhen bis im Januaar. Vor einem ^bnat wurde mein Herz wieder gans gesund gefunden.]
Ich bin aber auch gerade dabei, den früher erwähnten Bericht zu verschicken, und
hatte in den letzten 2 Wochen andere Problem , da man mir Hein Auto mit gewalt
gestohlen hatte. CR ist e'n sehr schönes Land, aber leider hat die personloihe
Sicherheit, die früher tadellos war sehr gelitten. Allerdings, als ich bei der
Polizei ankani um formell den Verlust anzumenldne hatten sie meinAuto bereits.
Ich brauchte aber 2 Woche n bis man es mir zurück gab, und ich es zuth Teh'nker für
einige Reperaturen nehmen konnte. CR ist besser als andere Lander in Latin Amerika,
aber der Amtssoiimmel ist trotzdem reichlich gross (Red Tape in Engl.)
Ich habe im i^lomnet keine festen Keiseplane, aher werde wohl spater dieses Jahr wie-
der in den USA sein. Wann weiss ich noch n'crit.
Zu Ihrem Brief:
Ihre Frage über meine JJ^azi Lehrer übe rrasoht ich in gewissen Sinne. Ich glaube
sie wissen wie kompliziert die Frage ist, wer ein Nazi war und wer nicht. Die^
US Army hatte am Ende des Krieges verschiedene Arrestkategorien. Jedoch eben in
diesen durfte es Leute gegeben haben, die anstondige Menschen waren, wahrend
manche aus versc: iedenen Gründen niemals formell in der Partei oder b.A.s , SS,
waren, und trot-dem Schweine waren. Deshalb konnteich mich nicht zu sehr aufregen, dass|
toorrnn "R+c^hiir- "hp«?iin"hen Wollte, denn ich weiss nicht welche SS manner dort begraben

welohe SS Manner dort begraben wa ren. Jedoo; e so weit ioh weiss s nd wohl viele
der gewohlnliohe^^ Waffen SS Mitgfieder ahnlioh eingezo,c:en worden , wie Mt.~^lieder

Nun^lierr Xirste war v.e'n Klase uKaWe^alle 4 Ja-re die io-. zur Gauf':i8o ule, C^7"^v
(StaJt. Vol sso.-ule Nr. '^oj ging. Er war 'mm r ser.r nett zu Vir. 2r wohnte weter
als io'i von der 3o hule , hatte aber fast de; sel'-^ n Weg, so dass io viele

Als io:. id Jahre 29 ( loh war von 27 bis 31 dort) im Krar^^enhan« war, kam are

im Kranken aus war uid hatte eine .onserve Kaviar gekauft. Damals soineo-rbe r:ir

Da war ai 'eae-nes freund! *oe ?e/?russunß^ und vorstellen. So was icn sa ^en will
er war zweifellos kein ant'-ser^-it. Jedooh bis zur Maothubernahme war er imner
in der .Hei luig als Hilf r lehrer oder ahnlioh, dh.h • nioht r'ohti^ fest angestellt.
So ioh nehme a :, das er wie vi le andere eirlge der Versoreohen und gatrioti-

Dear Harvey,
We finally went on our long-planned trip to Vroc/aw and it turned out a
very good trip. We took the long sea crossing to Hamburg and drove via
Berlin. On the way we visited the cernetry at Weis^ensee where we found the
gr.-ve of uncle York and ount Elxvina - a bit dilapidated, with some of the
lettering and dates missing. We arrived in W. Tuesday evening and were
delighted with our accomnodation which our contact there, Mr. ^agiewski ,
the director of the historical museuin, had arranged with his rruseum for us:
in a renovated building of the old town arsenal which is a little downstream
from the university on the South bank of the river. We hcmded over the
replacement plaques for the grandparent ' s hecidstone, together with a stain-
less memorial plaque for our parents. Our 3 girls + prospective son-in-law
(Erica will take the plunge some time next year) joined us on Friday night
and we all went to the cernetry on Snturday morning where we found that the
replacement plaoues had been fittaid, a plinth added for the memorial plaque,
the adjacent sites had been cleaned, the kerbstones cround our site had been
re-instated and the whole length of the approach road to the site had been
weeded and cleaned. Mr. ^giewski really rsull^ji had done a wonderful Job for
US. T^Ci^ ^A/du^^i> ^JcT^f^T- f^S-tf 11x3^ B^iTScA^ A/V/ldPif /Stfx£)/<r /i Äz.S>o rf2oJr Hf-^s
Polend is making much progress, things are looking a lot different from our
previous visit in July '91* The traffic in W. is unbelievable, with horrifyi:
traffic jams morning and evening, so much so that they 're replanning the
main traffic arteries, re-siting the trr;mlines. etc. The place is füll of
Shops, füll of goods, plenty of restaurrnts, fuel stations rre springing up
all over the place, everything is computerised, credit cards generally
accepted. ' ;
We took our family around a bit in town to show them some of the sights.
The most disappointing, the saddest thing we saw was the synagogue, the
Storch, which despite what I seemed to understand from you (that the way
had now been clearer! to restore the building) today Ir oks in much worse
condition than in '91 - Windows open and generally looking ready to
collapse. Who is supposed to be doing something about this building?
I went into Tauentzienstr. 4 and was sble to go all over the building, ine.
our fathers' office — the open plan has now been Converter^ into sppp-rntp
rooms. The main door to the flcor is still the old steel door, the building
is still being heated by the 'Fernheizung'. The whole buijlding is now
privatised and is occupied by various cornmercial enterprises.
I managed to find my old school at the Rehdigerplatz - now hidden by a new
building erected in the grounds where we used to take cur breaks. It is
still used as a school and we were conducted all over it.
Peg and I tr?velled a lot around in the countryside. We went to Strehlen
but could not find the factory - I feel sure that it must have disappeared
as there would have been little interest in maintaining an old one-storey
building. We also went to Wuenschelburg where we found the factory totally
unchangedj Agair, we found somebody who took us all over the place and
explained to us that it continued the way we had known it until 1965, then
converted to a garment factory, now privatised and in the course of acquiring|
new Industries. The old mill-stream appears to have very little water today
and is no longer passing the factory, I believe the old turbine is still in
the basement though I did not bother to visit it. The railway line (narrow
gauge) from Waldenbjirg is now defunct and the old Station is a disco.
I am enclosing some photos - there will be more when I have developed the
film still in the camera. For now, pictures of the restored grave , and
return of the Originals which you had sent me. I am also sending you a copy
?.5 3
AUO
rs: I
of a Position plan of the German and Russian forces in Lithuania on the
15th Aup-ust 1915 (the day after uncle Joseph was killed) which eventually
might lead to where he was burj^ied. The German wa|^ graves authorities sent
me this.
I am also returning Originals of headstones of grandparents Neustadt and
that of Gerson Neustadt. You asked me to decipher the writing on the latter.
I first handed a blown-up copy to someone in Israel (l could not make it out
myself) but they could not make sense of it. I have now made good copies
from the original and shall try and see if this will now lead to some
plausible translation. I know that there is a problem with the dates which
are given on the inscription which, as is done with Jewish dates, are not
in cyphers but encoded in the Hebrew alphabeth. The encoding may be faulty.
However, I shall try my best and^ to this enc^ it is important to be clear
whose headstone is shown on the photograph. The name is clear enough, it
is Gershon Neustadt, but where is his position in cur ancestry? As I study
the various photos which you sent me , there is a lot of conflicting data.
The original photo has a handwritten note which I seem to recognise as your
father*s handwriting saying 'Papas Grossvater'
The blown-up copy of the original has a typewritten note on a self-adhesive
lable which I presume was stuck on by you, which says 'Father of Herrmann
Neustadt. . .
The two Statements above place Gershon Neustadt into 2 different generations.
Where did you have the information from which you wrote on the back of the
blown-up copy? Which of the 2 Statements should be taken as correct?
The blown up copy also carries your typewritten statement that the picture
is taken at *Obersitko er Obersitzko'
Two smaller copies of the same original have your handwritten note, on each,
saying that the picture is taken at Rawitsch.
There is again a problem here - is it Rawitsch or Obersit( z)ko? Can you
recall where the information originates - which one is likely to be
correct?
Do you have any contacts which might give us sny idea whether recent
Polisfe le^islation re return of Jewish property might benefit us? Tt is
quite possible that this legislation might lay down different rules
for 'residential property and for industrial property respectively.
I forgot to mention that the residential properiy in Wuenschelburg, like
the factory building, is standing and is untouched. Even the large stucko
Star of David on the front elevation of the house at 2nd floor level is
still there.
All well here - the family are flourishing. As I mentioned earlier,
Erica is planning to marry next year. Hugh is a solicitor, toc, we have
met him several times and he is a very nice and considerate man. They seem
very happy together. Naomi snd Richard are fine, their 3 are getting on
fine. IIa is getting itchy feet and would like to change her Job. She is
taking some course to learn about wood-turning, specifically to make
traditional musical Instruments. Maybe this will lead to something new?
Hope to hear from you - with replies to my questions and to let us know
how you are. What news from your girls?
jj
Look after yourself.
Love
i

1.1.98
I am sorry the letter I wrote to you on 3 Nov. is still here - tut
that allow/s me now also to enclose photos of the factory in Wunsc.helburg'
(Radkow) and what I take as the residential property across the lane.
Also, I have Just re-read some old letters from you and I find there a
reference to docuinents in your possession which deals with the
naturalisation of Gerson Neustadt. On that basis, it is of course quite
clear that Gereon Neustadt was grandfather Neustadt *s father. The
only Strange thing that remains is your father' s annotation »Papas
Grossvater* .
Incidentally, I intend to write once more to the German war graves
authorities, quoting the army unit in which uncle Joseph was serving
in Order to see if they can teil me where this unit was fighting the
day our uncle was killed. Me might then be close to finding the cemetry
where he was bur/'ied.
I would be happy to think that all old family documents and photos
in your possession would find their way into the hands of our girls.
They are very keen on family history and I have very little of \.his
material. Would you like to think about this and perhaps oommftnt to me?
I know that this is a bit of a rambling letter, nevertheless I would be
very grateful if you could please take the time to answer the various
questions which I have raised.
And finally, as time has moved on since I started this letter, let me
wish you a very happy New Year with good health.

Sehr geehrte Mrs, Neustadt::
In der Lastenausgleichssache bezueglich Grundverraoegen in
Breslau erhielt ich nunmehr auf mehrfache Erinnerung: von dem
Ausf<leichsamt des Oberkreisdirektors des Rheinisch - ßer^rischen -
Kreises, Berfrisch Gladbach, das Jetzt fuer die Bearbeitung dieser
Sache zustaendig ist, eine Mitteilung, dass es bemueht sein werde die
Schadensfeststellung baldigst durchzufuehren.
Es verlangt noch Mitteilung, ob Max oder Ernst Neustadt uebq
den Restbetrag des Kaufpreises von RM 102.957.80 fuer Tauentzienstr . ^l^
der auf ein Sonderkonto bei der Dresdner Bank in Breslau eingezahlt
wurde, verfuegen konnten.
Ich werde die Frage nach meinen Unterlaecen dahin beantwor<
ten, dass das Geld der Beschlagnahme anheimfiel und die Verkaeufer
nichts erhielten.
V^/eiter bittet das Ausgleichsamt
saemtlicher' Erben, insbesondere von
um Angabe der Adressen
Frau Josefa Brigitte Schmedding
" Marianne Beate Gelber
Hans-Herman Neustadt
und um meine Vollmacht zur Empfangnahme der festzustellenden Bescheide*.
Ich habe nur die frueheren Adressen von Frau Schraedding in

Hans-Herman Neustadt in C o 1 o m b q, Ceylon.- Frau Marianne Gelber
war unter ihrer alten Adresse Louis G. Gelber telefonisch nicht mehr
zu erreichen und ist auch nach Anfrage beim Amt nicht mehr telefonisch
verzeichnet.
Ich empfehle Ihnen, an die drei Erben nach Ihrem Schwager
Ernst Neustadt, wenn Sie ihre Adressen kennen, zu schreiben - evtl.
durch mich direkt schreiben zu lassen - und sie zu bitten, mir eine
Vollmacht folgenden Inhalts auszustellen und ihre Unterschriften

Sehr geehrte Mrs. Neustadt:
In Ihrer Entschaedigungssache wegen Erstattung von Heil-
behandlungskosten erhielt ich ein Schreiben Ihres Sohnes vom
28. Juli 1967, Dem Schreiben war ein Scheck ueber S 562.79 beige-
fuegt, dessen Empfang ich dankend bestaetige«
Was die laufenden Ansprueche nach dem Lastenausgleichs-
Gesetz (Tauentzienstr. ^- und Wuenschelburg) betrifft, §0 teilen Sie
bitte Ihrem Sohn auf seine Anfrage gelegentlich mit, dass z.Zt,
noch nicht gesagt werden kann, \^±e hoch die beiden Ausgleichsaemter
die Entschaedigungsbetraege festsetzen werden« Es ist dies eine
sehr komplizierte Berechnung, bei der auch die frueheren Einheits-
werte der Grundstuecke eine Rolle spielen.
Im uebrigen erfolgt Zahlung immer auf ein deutsche Konto,
das dann in einem umstaendlichen Verfahren mit Verlust ins Ausland
transferiert werden muesste.- Es sind keine Betraege zu erwarten,
die auch nur entfernt an die verlorenen Werte heranreichen, ;jedoch
ist mit der Durchfuehrung solcher Ansprueche nach dem Lastenaus-
gleichsgesetz viel Schreibarbeit verknuepft.
Weiter erhielt ich nun von Ihrem Sohn eine Aufstellung
ueber die Kosten, die Ihnen waehrend Ihres Aufenthalts in Soma-
lia, duu-ch Annahme von Pflegekraeften, die Sie dort betreut haben,
erwachsen sind« Er hat mir dann weiter Zahlungsbescheinigungen der
4 in Frage kommenden Frauen gesandt, die ich der Entschaedigungsbe-
hoerde einreichen werde.
Ich moechte diese Bescheinigungen noch durch Ihre eides-
stattliche Versicherung ergaenzen, fuer die ich einen Entwurf bei-
fuege. Diesen Entwurf bitte ich Sie/ zu unterschreiben und an mich
zurueckzusenden. Ihre Unterschrift ist ja bei der Entschaedigungs-
Behoerde bekannt, sodass wir die Kosten einer notariellen Beglaubi-
gung einsparen koennen.
Ich moechte weiter wenigstens versuchen, Ersatz der beson-
deren Kosten zu verlangen, die Ihnen durch die Unterbringung in dem
dortigen Heim, im Gegensatz zu einem regulaeren Altersheim , erwach-
sen und habe zu diesem Zwecke, auf Anregung Ihres Sohnes, an Frl.
G. Eppste in geschrieben. Durchschrift dieses Schreibens fuege
ich bei.
- 2 -
Ich nehme an, dass Sie sich in diesem Heim seit dem 26. 4.
1965 befinden und hier nicht nur Wartung und Pflege, sondern auch
notfalls aerzt liehe Behandlung erhalten.
Medikamente, soweit Sie solche benoetigen, muessen Sie wohl
besonders bezahlen. Ich meine hiermit Medikamente, die sich auf
Ihr rheumatisches Leiden beziehen.
Ich nehme bei der anliegenden eidesstattlichen Versicherung an,
dass es zutrifft, wenn ich geschrieben habe, dass Sie sich in der
Zeit vom 26.4.1963 bis 25*4a965 bei Ihrem Sohne in Mogadiscio,
Somali Republic, aufgehalten haben und dass die Waehrung"So» Sh"
Somali-Schilling bedeutet.
Wenn irgend etwas in der eidesstattlichen Versicherung nicht
zutrifft, oder etwas hinzugefuegt werden soll, lassen Sie es mich
bitte wissen. Ich schreibe sie dann gern nochmals.

Sehr geehrter iierr Dr. Newton:
In der Entschaedigungssache Ihrer i^'rau [[utter
erhielt ich Ihr Schreiben vom 19.5.1967 mit einem Aenderungs-
bescheid "B" des Bezirksamts Neustadt vom 20.4.1967, den
ich Ihnen anbei wieder zuruecksende.
Auf Grund einer neueren Verordnung sind die
Grui?dsaetze fuer die Bemessung des Hundertsatzes der -Beamten-
bezueo^» nach denen die i^ente wegen Gesundheitsschadens
berechnet wird, einheitlich festgelegt worden. Diese neuen
Bestimmungen fuehren in zahlreichen Faellen zu einer Herab-
setzung des Hundertsatzes I so auch im Falle Ihrer Mutter.
V/aehrend nach dein alten, mir in Abschrift vorliegenden Bescheid
vom 18.1.1965 ein Hundertsatz von 50'^ ab 1.11.1955 als an-
gemessen angenommen wurde, ist dieser Hundertsatz in dem
anliegenden Bescheid auf 5Q/^ heruntergesetzt worden.
Es wird nun vielfach angenommen, dass gegen die-
se Festsetzung: Klage mit der Begruendung eingereicht werden
sollte, dass die Entschaedigungsbehoerde an die fruehere
Festsetzung des Hundertsatzes gebunden sei. Diesen Stand-
punkt halte ich entsprechend der Rechtsprechung des Bundes-
gerichtshofs nicht fuer zutreffend, abgesehen davon, dass
dann in der grossen Mehrzahl der Faelle gegen die ergangenen
Aenderungsbescheide, die fast alle Verfolgten betreffen,
Klage erhoben werden muesste, waehrend auf der anderen Seite
angenommen werden kann, dass, wenn wirklich in einer zu er-
wirkenden hoechstrichterlichen Entscheidung eine Herabsetzung
der iiundertsaetze fuer ungueltig erachtet wird, dann die
Entschaedigungsbehoerde dieser Rechtsprechung auch ohne gericht
liehe -Entscheidung Rechnung tragen wuerde.
Vßd Sie weiter aus dem Bescheid ersehen, findet
nach dem Grundsatz der V/ahrung des Besitzstandes eine Kuerzung
der bisher gezahlten Rente nicht statt, wie auch in dem an-
liegenden Bescheid zum Ausdruck kommt. Ihre r'iutter erhaelt
also, obwohl ihre Rente auf Grund der Herabsetzung des Hun-
dertsatzes gekuerzt wurde, die bisher gezahlte Rente von
DM 9^2,- weiter; allerdings nimmt sie nichtjan den kuenftigen
-2-
I y
f
- 2 -
allgemeinen Rentenerhoehungen teil, solange nicht die Ueber-
zahlung von vorher abgegolten ist.
Die sogVi^ecbtsmittelbelehrung" wird automatisch
jedem Bescheid beigefuegt. Es kann f?;egen jeden i^escheid, wenn
man sich nicht zufrieden geben will, binnen 6 Monaten beim
uebergeordneten Landgericht Klage erhoben werden. Der an-
liegende Aenderungsbescheid ist allerdings fuer ^eden Laien
kauni verstaendlich. Ich empfehle Ihnen, sich bei die
scheid zu beruhigen.
SGlIi
Be-
leb bestaetige gleichzeitig dankend Kmpfang Ihres
Schecks ueber \p 188,42 fuer Ausbildungsschaden.
Ferner teile ich Ihnen mit, dass, wie Sie wissen,
noch bezueglich des frueheren iiigentums Ihres Vaters in
Schlesien ein Verfahren nach dem Lastenausgleichsgesetz
anhaengig ist, in dem ich auch in der letzten Zeit mit der
Behoerdc korrespondiert habe. Ich erhielt Abschrift eines
Schreibens d s Bezirksamts Zehlendorf -Ausgleichsamt-, wo-
nach der angeraeldetp i^vs^vuzh nunmehr an das -^usp:leichsamt
Bergisch-Gladbach zur weiteren i3earbeitung abgegeben wurde.
Auf meine Anfrage erhielt ich vom "Rheinisch-Bergischen Kreis,
Oberkreisdirektor, Ausgleichsamt" ein Schreiben vom 28.4.1967
-Az.:III. 4G.2.03-P V762/1 Cz/F.- d s Inhalts, dass sich die-
ses Ausgleichsamt durch eine Frau Dr.SIOMMEL, die das (>rund-
verraoegen fuer die Firma "4711" verwaltet, mit dein Kaeufer«
M u e h 1 e n s, der Firma "4711" in Verbindung gesetzt habe,
um saeratliche Unterlaf!:en ueber den damalisren Kauf zu 0>vhRlten.
Nach Lingang dieser '::ichriftstuecke soll dann eine ochadens-
feststellung vorgenommen werden. Ich werde Sie weiter auf dem
laufenden halten.

Bu hast imterdessen ja wohl den Vergleich »Vorschlag erbaltan. Ich schrieb
an Kattter, und Du solltest es nicht unterzeiohamn und abschicken bis
Du von ihmo oder mir nochmals hörst. Jedoch finde ich die Sache ziemlich

Also , wenn Du den Vergleich annimmst heisst das, dass von einer Porderimg
von etwa | 2o ooo.- etwa | 17 ooo.- bezalt wurden, was etwa BSf> ist.
Das ist eigentlich recht hoch. Obwohl wir alles belegt hatten, waren da
natürlich ein paar Reohnungengen dabei, die etwas zweifelhaft waren, und
sie habe verschiedenes abgezogen . Aber ich finde sie haben #echt anstandig

Liebs Herr und Fraia Neustadt ! Nachderp wir schon garbicht aehr wussten,
wo wir lie suchen sollten, habe ich am 1o,:äii -".epteiober in Lissabon durch
meinen Agenten feststellen lassen, dass Sie gluecklich mit der Fyassa
abgefahren sind. Ihr Brief vom S.Septerrjber traf erst am 18. 9. hier ein, und
ich habe natuerlich die Anlage an Hermann gleich .veitergesandt, der wahr-
scheinlich im Augenblick irn Manoev^r ist und den Brief daher ^.^rst in
ein paar Tagen erhalten wird .Hermann war Anfang September ein paar Tage
hier, zusammen mit Bondy.Herjr-ann 3.1eht glanezend aus, ist ein grosser,
sehr erwachsener Mensch geworden, und das army Leben gefaellt ihm sehr
gut und bekommt ihm wohl auch gut .Machen Sie sich, liebe i'rau Neustadt,

sollten es so gut haben, wie die amerikanischen Soldaten. Darueber hin-
aus schadet ihm ja koerperlich« das Ausarbeiten garnichts, und er ist in
voellig amerikanischer Umgebung, f^nin Freund Toepper ist ja, wie f^ie
vielleicht wissen, im Nachbar-Regiment und gleichzeitig mit ihm im Ma-

seine Adresse im Fort Meade weiter zu senden, da Blanoev-^radressen nicht

Also 30v,^eit zur familiaeren Situation, weil
ich mir vorstelle, dass das Ihr erster und vordringlichster Gedanke ist.
Nun aber zu Ihnen Beiden» Unser allerherz-

Jahren immer v/ieder fruchtlosen Bemuehend endlich gelungen ist, Sie aas

tiefe Beruhigung. Und dass Ihr neuer Lebensanfang mit dem Beginn des
neuen juedischen Jahres zusaruenfa^llt, mag fuer 8ie ein ^utes Omen
sein .Dazu Ihnen Beiden unsere aufrichtigsten 7uensche.
Die Weiterwanderung von guba nach Tl-k
muss von Hermann eingeleitet werden, da ja, wie/^ie vielleicht v/issen,
seit dem I.Juli ganz neue Bestimmungen einen Ptart von ganr. vorne ueber
Washington not?;endig macht. Solange 8ie nicht aus Deutschland heraus wa-

Werden Sie, wenn es ein paar Wochen laenger'^dauert, nicht ^n^rvoes, ge-
niessen Sie in Cuba die wunderschoene i^reiheit und erholen Sie sich auf
jeden Fall innerlich und aeusserlich. Finanziell brauchen Sie sich fuer
ein paar Jahre keine Sorgen zu machen.

terms of cocxistcncc, Icaving room for mutual Interplay as well as connicl, and hi which
individuals jugglc a multitudc of fractured and sitiiational Idcntitics. This rcquires a redefinition
oft wo kcy terms: assimilation and cquality. Assimilation is no longcr undcrstood as a proccss in
which Outsiders increasingly adapt to a stablc corc culture but rather one in which 'niinoritics'
havc a band in dcfining and redcfining 'majority' culture. Transcending a notion of cquality that

Dcspile Ihc weallh of studies on Ihc history of German antiscniitisni and German Jcws,
WC still lack a social and cullural history of Jewish-Gcnlilc rclalions in both Imperial and Weimar
Gcrmany~a lacuna thal in iny view has thrce main sources. First, all studies of German
anliscmitisin display conceplual limits when it comcs to analyzing Jcwish-Gcntilc rclalions. They
focus on anlisemilism as a political ideology and movement, analyzing antisemitic associations as
well as pressure groups.' As a consequence, these studies consislcnlly ask whether causal links
cxistcd bclwccn anlisemilism in Imperial Germany and thc Holocaust. Such a focus on the
qucstion of conlinuity ignores spheres of Imperial German sociely in which antisemitism cxertcd
little or no influencc. The history of Jcwish-Gcntilc rclalions in Germany is not just a story of
antisemitic ideology and discrimination, but is also characterized by ambivalence. Second, many
scholars havc portraycd Jcwish inlegration inlo German society al large as a symbiotic
cxperience. Acculturated Jews in Imperial Germany themselvcs idealized their relations wilh
olhcr Germans as a synthesis of two exceptional cultures. After the Holocaust some Germans
. appropriated this notion in ordcr to prcscnt an "Olhcr Germany" free from the taint of Nazism.
Such idealized concepts of symbiosis are casily criticized. Gershom Scholcm, among others,
argued thal nolions of a symbiosis tend to neglect the fact that German Gentiles refused to
accepl Jcws as Jews, and never shed a dccply rooled anlisemilism that ultimately Icd to thc
Holocaust. As wilh intcrethnic rclalions gcnerally il is misleading to measure Jewish-Gentile
rclalions in Imperial Germany against an idealized notion of symbiosis. The model ofa German-
Jewish symbiosis suffcrs from scrious methodological shortcomings, because it is embedded in a
tradilional history of ideas which is inapnrnnriate for understanding more general social

I. While il is Irue, as Werner Messe notcd a few years ago, that "intcgration is rarely
mcasurabie", thc paramcters of this conccpt can and should bc dcfincd." In Ihc casc of modern
socielies integration as a generic conccplual framework dcrives from and dcpcnds on proccsscs
of inclusion bolh in central Systems and in spheres of everyday lifc (Lebenswclt). Inclusion in onc
sphcre does not automatically entail integration, because a group niay well bc includcd in one
area, such as the economy, but excluded from another, such as politics. Inclusion involves thc
generalized and universal participation of thc whole populalion in the functional Systems of
modern socicty (economic, political, academic, and legal), with acccss regulatcd by individual
criteria such as monetary or professional qualincations, dcpending on the sphcrc's "inner logic"
(Max Weber). The concept of integration does not presuppose equality of wcalth and power.
Social closure. thc rcslriclion of acccss to rcwards and opportunitics based on individual criteria
such as wcalth or professional qualificalions, needs to bc carcfully distinguishcd from cxglusiOD.

' This negicct is manifest in many studies relevant to an understanding of Jewish-Gentile relations in Imperial
and Weimar Germany. To name just two example, bolh the Bielefeld and the Frankfurt projecls on the history
of the German middle-class have managed to avoid discusslon of the Jewish middle-class. See also Moshe

' In the European conlext one example of this. by no means linear or irreversible process in which thc principlc of

While integration necessarily presupposes inclusion in all functional Systems it, also
dcpcnds on informal inclusion in spheres of everyday life such as friendships, circles of marriage,
or rcsidential patterns. Thc persistence of ethnic and rcligious identities is particularly relevant in
considcring Ihcsc spheres of Jewish-Gentile relations. Antisemitism was not the only reason why
German Jews did not fully assimilate, because this also reflected a vital ethnic culture among
German Jcws.'" An analysis of Jewish-Gentile relations needs to balancc carcfully the influcnce
of inclusion and exciusion in both functional Systems and everyday spheres with the impacl of
Gcrman-Jcwish cthnicity.
IL I have chosen to underlake such a synthesis by means of a local study. Instead of examining
an isolated arca of Jewish-Gentile intcractlons separately, it seems more promising to study how
various dimensions intcrsect in the overall process of integration. A casc study allows mc to link
the Jewish cxpcricncc of inclusion and exciusion lo social, cultural, and political structurcs and
changes in thc Community at large.
Although rcputcd for being backward and boring in the years of Uic Weimar Republic,
Breslau was one of the niost politically and rcligiously hclcrogencous German citics around the
turn of thc Century. Protestants constituled about sixty percent of the city's inhabitants, whercas
Catholics representcd about thirty-five percent. Breslau had becn a centre of German-Jewish life

Along with malcrial comfort came considcrablc social prestige. When Alfred Marck and his wife
Rosa, ndc Heimann, crossed the strccl, "inany passers-by lifled their hals lo greel Ihem
respcclfully". the firsl wife of their eldesl son Siegfried, Lola Landau, recalls. "Everybody lovcd
and honorcd ihem like nobles".*'
The majorily of Breslau Jews, howcver, did not bclong lo the middle class. A significanl
Proportion of ihcm, parlicularly womcn, musl bc considcred poor. More ihan half of all male
Jewish (57%) and eighly-scven percenl of female Jewish lax payers earned less than 3,000
Marks annually. Threc out of four Jewish women between thirty and sixty, and six out of tcn
over sixly years of age had to live on less than 1,200 Marks a year. Even if such an income did
not neccssarily mean dcstilutioii. il certainly excludcd Ihem from the middle class. The influx of
Eastern European can hardly account for Jewish poverly, because the income of Breslau Jews
did nol differ according lo place of birth. In 1906, Jews born in Breslau were just as likely lo be
poor as those born in Eastern Europc. Whatever the precise rcason for Jewish impecuniosity in
Imperial Germany was, il is clear Ihat therc is a whole world of Gcrman-Jewish experience Ihal
has bcen missed by those scholars whose work rests largely on memoirs wrilten by middle-class
Jews.'^ Moritz Krebs, born in the districl of Kreuzburg, Upper Silesia, in 1860, is no less lypical
of Breslau Jewry than Alfred Marck. The Krebs family had to subsist on his annual pehsion of
500 Marks. While il was less than a half-hour walk to gel from Ihe fashionable lodgings of the
Marck's to the sinall apartmcnt of the Krebs family in Ihe Vincenzslrasse, they lived worlds
apart. In the Vincenzslrasse, rents were low and apartmenls small. Mosl of Ihe slreel's
inhabitants were poor, as was the sanitalion. So poor, in fact, that inhabitanls filed a desperate
complainl lo the municipal aulhorilies during acholera epidemic in the i890s.'*
While Jews lived in economically diverse neighborhoods, a bird's eye vicw of Breslau
residcntial pallerns reveals considerable concentration. The city's Jewish middle class tended to
live in more cxclusive and prosperous neighborhoods and contribuled subslanliaJIy to the
movement of the middle and upper-middle class into the suburbs afler the turn of the Century.

livcd. And. despilc thc high concentration of Jews in certain ncighborlioods. thc majority of
inhabitanls was non-Jewish, even on thosc streets where the Jewish share was highcst.
As no lax records exisl, we can only speculate about what changes occurred in respect to
Ihe class structure and residential patterns of Breslau Jews after World War I. It seems likeiy ihal
with innation and the considcrable infiux of Eastcrn European Jews, Jewish povcrty in Breslau
increased. The share of Breslau Jews primarily living on interest procceds and pensions droppcd
from eighteen percent in 1907 to fourteen percent in 1925. "The constant rise of living
expenses". the Breslau Jüdische Volkszeitung noted in 1922, "has led to poverty and difficulties
even in circles ihat had lived comforlably well so far".'* The deterioration of their socioeconomic
Position in the Weimar Republic coincided with a dramatic challengc to Breslau Jewry: thc surgc
of polilical antiscmitisni in the postwar era.
In Imperial Germany, Jews played a major role in the urban politics of many big eitles. As the
Prussian ihrec class franchise cnabied them to exert political influcnce far bcyond thcir nuiiicrical
share, Jews providcd a backbone of liberalism in Breslau. Jewish city councillors formed around
forty percent of the liberal factions, which usually won more than half of the city Council seats.
Jewish city politicians could hold any post in the municipal government except for that of mayor
and deputy mayor, which were subject to approval by the central Prussian government in Berlin.
With few exccplions, bctween 1870 and 1921, a succcssion of prominent liberal Jewish
politicians - Wilhelm Freund (1886 to 1914) and Adolf Heilberg (1915 to 1921) - held the
presiigious and intluenlial chairmanship of the city Council. Usually, they attained this by a
unanimous vole including, ironically, thosc of several explicitly antisemitic councillors. Around
the turn of the Century, the liberal faction of the city Council "included Jewish business mcn,
doctors, and lawyers," Adolf Heilberg recalied in 1934, "but also quite a few peoplc, important
and Icss important, who were bolh open-minded and convinced that Jews were decent and
respcclablc people. At the same time they disdained the arrogance of reserve officers, high civil

servants, and secondary school teachers while preserving their civic pridc". Even if a few
antisemitic politicians ran cither individually or on the conservative ticket, the highly charged
rhetoric of political antisemitism rarely surfaced before 1918 and seems to have been anathema
to the city Council. In 1902, when an antisemitic councillor tried to altack a group of liberal
politicians bccause they were Jewish, the mayor and the councillors forced him to apologizc at
Ihe ncxt Session. '^
Illustrative of the relativly insigniflcant role played by antisemitism in local politics during
the Wilhelmian era is the municipal authorilies* liberal and inclusive position on thc
naturalization of Jewish immigrants, an issue that had vasl consequences for Jewish-Gentile
rclations. In modern societies, as Rogers Brubaker recently noted, "this boundary bctween
Citizens and aliens" has becomc "more important than cver"." For Immigrant Jews who had
settied in Breslau, naturalization ended the thrcal of expulsion and providcd them with many
Privileges, such as the right to vote (limited to male applicants until 1919). Thc qucstion of
acquiring citizenship was particularly contentious because most of the Jewish applicants were
immigrants from Eastern Europe, a group subjected to special vilification by anlisemites."
Espccially in the last decade of Imperial Germany, the question of naturalization led to
considcrable conflict betwecn Breslau and the Prussian State. While thc State had thc fmal word.

1908, the magistrate strongly urged thc provincial govcrnor "not to grant citizenship", pointing
out that she had reccived poor relief for years and Ihat "further deniands on public wclfarc"
seemed probable.^' The final dccision of the Prussian State, in contrast, was based on the
principle of exclusion. Thc provincial governor rejected thc vast majorily of Jewish applicants

the more striking in view of the fact that the State sometimes conferred citizenship to non-Jewish
applicants whom the city had rejected out of fear that they would apply for poor relief in thc
future

Whilc the city did not question the principle of jus sanguinis as such, it pursued a much
more inclusive policy than the Prussian State. True, thc policies of thc provincial governor's
Office in Breslau support Jack Wcrtheimer's conclusion that the Prussian government's attitude
towards thc naturalization of Eastern European Jews was "fundamentally negative"." Yet a

European Jews, lauding Iheir moral character. The city's poor relief administration officially
rcprcscnted thc magistrate's view, basing its dccision on municipal records on poor relief and on
informal evaluation by districl prefects. After the turn of the Century, Breslau was divided into
about 300 districts, eacli headed by a prefecl, an honorary official clected by the city Council."
As they were both notables of local politics and part of the districts's social fabric, the various
district piefccts were thc nearest cquivalenl to the vox populi of Breslau. None of thcir
evaluations revcalcd a trace of antisemitism. Whcn Chaim Frenkcl, the owner of a cigarette
Company originally from Min.sk applied for citizenship in 1909, the district prefect noted that he
was not only ablc to support his family, but that all thc Frenkels were "respectable peoplc who
enjoyed a finc reputation and were elegantly furnished". In a similar vein, anothcr district prefect,
Hugo Martmann, rccommendcd thc naturalization of Hirsch Chaimoff, a factory manager and
Turkish Citizen. "He has held the same Job for twenty years, makes 4-5,000 marks a year and has
savcd a tidy suin of inoncy". Hartmann cxplained in an unusually long comment on November 2,
1910. "Moreover, the family of Mr. Hirsch Chaimoff made a very good Impression on me".
Bccaüse the provincial governor rejected thcir request despite thc city's endorsement, Hirsch
Chaimoffs path to citizenship remaincd blocked. Only afler the exceptional Impetus of total war
had suspendcd the state's policies of exclusion did the Situation change. Chaimoffs two sons—
Leo .Ige twenty-four and Joseph age twenty-three-obtained citizenship after volunteering for
combat units in September 1914, and Chaimoff himself secured this Status in May 1916."
Ncither the city nor the State gave preference lo male applicants over female ones in
naturalization procecdings. Howcver, the district prefects tended to emphasize different
qualities-such as decency and sexual propriety--when recommending female applicants. The city
' piaised female Jewish applicants and supported thcir request for naturalization which the
provincial governor routinely denied. Minna Seelig, an American-Jewish immigrant, was one of
thc many Jewish applicants attempting to secure citizenship in vain, even if the district prefecl
had recommended her naluralizalion noting Ihal she was "a decent person living in comfortable
circumstances". In April 1914, thc Russian Jewish immigrant Hertha Baumann, n6e Rosenbaum,

If Ihe Support of muncipal aulhoritics and dislricl prefecls for Ihc naturalizalion of Jcws
from Easlem Europe scrvcs as a measure of Jcwish inclusion in Breslau, even the cily's Ostjuden
enjoyed some degree of rcspectability and acceptance in at least part of llie wider Community.
Ncvertiieless, for many Jewisli immigrants applying for citizenship prescntcd a gruclling ordcal.
As a young man of lliirty-onc, Alexander Posner, a wcll-off mcrchant of Russian citizenship
earning about 10,000 Marks annually, first filed for naturalizalion in 1898; hc reapplied in 1908,
and undertook his Ihird altempl in 1914, wilh citizenship only granted in November 1918."
Given the upheaval of war, defeat and revolution, the postwar crisis and the disruplivc
cffccts of Inflation and hypcrinflalion, the early Weimar years brought a sca changc in urban
politics in Breslau. Ironically, il was the democratization of urban politics that reduced Jewish
inclusion in this sphere. The introduction of universal suffrage in communal elections in 1919
ended both the political clout that Breslau Jewry had enjoyed under the Prussian thrcc class
franchise as well as the liberal dominance of the ciiy parliamcnt. Reflecling a more general '
"disenchantmcnt wilh bourgcois politics" (Bernd Weisbrod), the number of left liberal cily
councillors, who had controlled municipal politics between 1870 and 1918, plummeled from
eighty-threc to just five by 1924, only one more than the explicilly antiscmilic German Völkish

In the immediate postwar era, Jewish-Gentile relalions also took a tum for the worse as

and hyper-inflation, about 500 demonstrators stagcd an antisemitic riol that bcgan in the early
afternoon and lasted until well past midnight. By the time police finally got maltcrs under
control, the crowd had looted over a hundred shops, nearly all of them owned by Jews. "When

Wiiat is striking is not just the level of antisemitic violence in postwar Breslau but also
the indifferent reaclion by at least part of the city's middlc class, the degree to which vandalism
and brutality directed against Jews was tacitly or openly condoned. Willy Colin, a Jewish
secondary school teacher, was apalled by his colleagues' response when Schottländer* s
disfigured body was washed ashore just outside Breslau in late June 1920. "A fcw days ago", he
notcd in his diary, "the corpse of the brutally murdered Bernhard Schottländer was found. I have
not heard a Single word of condemnation among my colleagues". After the nationalist
demonstration for Upper Silesia of August 1920 had gotten out of band, the Schlesische Zeitung
dcnicd any spccifically antisemitic niotives, arguing instead that the riots were a direct and
incvitable result of Allied, especially French policies towards Germany. "That this rable-rousing
rag (Ilctzorgan) is blaining anybody but thcmselves, denionstrates, tliat it intends to continue
maligning our people", the Jüdische Volkszcitung noted in a trenchant rejoinder: "It merely has
an articie ready to whitewash itscif for the day afler the first pogrom". Once again ignoring the
antisemitic essence of the riots of July 1923, the Schlesische Zeitung played on the spectre of an
allcged Bolshevist threat. Some middle-class papcrs oscillating between the "Iron Gross on Ihc
huiid and the Sovict and the Jewish Star on the othcr", an editorial notcd, had claimed that "the
mass of immaturc boys and their fcinalc followers had bcen incitcd by aiitisemites". This,
however, was "a foolish idca" as it was evident that the riots had been engineered by
Conmiunists. The fact that practically all the shops looted were owned by Jews was only natural
as "dose to all ready-made-clothing shops in Breslau were in the hands of Jews". Alfred Oehlke,
cditor of Breslaucr Zeitung, the oldest and most respectable liberal daily, in turn, was iust as
shocked by the violence itself as by the indifferent response. While lauding the police and the
labor movement for their bravery, he denounced the city's middle class. Instead of intervening,
bourgeois bystanders had turned a blind eye on events and therefore shared part of the blame. In
a moment of crisis when "respect for bourgeois freedom, independence,and responsibility" was
most calied for, Oehlke stated, they had neglected their "natural duty to intervene immediately
wherever public order was threatened".'*

If ihc dclerioralion of Jcwish-Gcnlile relalions in thc realm of politics afler 1918 was quitc
dramalic, it was less markcd, but still clearly discernible in the area of schooling. Antisemitic
hoslilily tarnishcd thc cvcryday lifc of Jewish studcnts and tcachcrs, and increasingly underniined
a high degree of inclusion Ihat had existed bcforc 1914. Schools playcd a major part in
determining the parameters of niinority Integration in modern society. Herc Gcrman Jcws
cstablished friendships with non-Jews, cxpcrienced thc pleasurcs and travails of acculluralion,
but also thc stark niiscry of discrimination. Between 1870 and 1918, almost all Jewish children in
Breslau attended State or municipal schools which generally had a Christian character. The
Jewish school System Ihat had flourished in thc carly nincteenth Century languished after 1860,
wilh only a small number of Jewish girls attending the onc rcmaining Jewisli school. Exccpt for
their exemption from Christian religious education and the righl not to attend school on reiigious
holidays (a right they rarcly used), Jewish studcnts had thc same school experience as all thc
othcr pupils. A former Jewish secondary school pupil, Alfred Kerr, who became thc most
respected theater critic of thc Weimar Republic, recalled that there was "no Separation" betwccn
Jcws and Gentiles. Jewish children thercfofc cxpcrienced the Standard academic ritcs of passagc,
imbibing thc aura of classical and neo-humanist Bildung (self-formation), inculcating the
nationalst and Protestant spirit, and enduring the usually severe tcachcrs. Instead of Icarning
about thc Torah and the Talmud, Jewish Gymnasiasten studied Aristotle, Tacitus and Cicero, as
well as Goethe and Schiller.^*
In a city whcre the vast majority of children went to an ordinary elcmenlary school, the
great majority of male Jewish students (80%) opted for a Gymnasium. As a rcsult, about twenty
to twenty-fivc pcrccnt of all thc studcnts in thc Gymnasia wcre Jewish. A Jewish child was four
to fivc times more likely to attend a grammar school than a Protestant or Catholic child. Thc
cducational success of German Jcws has receivcd much attention and many scholars have
emphasized the extra efforts made by Outsiders and the Jewish tradition of Icarning to explain

this phenomenon. Whilc the significance of each factor may be difficult to evaluatc, an analysis
of thc class background of male high school graduates between 1870 and 1910 strongly suggests
that class rather than culture mainly detcrmined Jewish success in higher education. Social
exclusivity dominated higher education in Breslau. Though only about ten pcrccnt of Breslau's
Population was bourgeois, more than eighty percent of all high school graduates came from
bourgeois fainilics. Because Jcws composed roughly a quarter of thc bourgcoisie, they
constitutcd otie-fifth of all high school graduates.
An intcrcsting example of Breslau school politics in regard to their cffect on Jewish-
Gcntilc relalions is thc story of thc Johannesgymnasium. The opcning of this school in Octobcr
1872 rcprcsentcd a triumph for Breslau's liberal municipal government, as well as a major step
towards tangible Jewish cqualily. The school immediately hired six Jewish tcachcrs and, at Icast
inilially, Jewish religious Instruction was obligatory for thc school's Jewish students and
thcrcforc a part of their final cxains, something formcrly unheard of in Germany. Not
surprisingly, thc Israelitische Wochenschrift lauded thc school as "a welcome precedent for many
succssors". The Prussian stalc, howcvcr, strongly objected to this demonstration of cqual parity
for Judaism wilh Christianity. In February 1876, thc Ministry of Education ordered thc municipal
school board to end the obligatory character of Jewish religious Instruction, thereby reinforcing
thc second-class Status of Judaism under the Prussian Constitution.'^
Thc Johannesgymnasium retaincd ils liberal spirit throughout Imperial and Weimar
Germany. It cnjoycd an exccllent reputation among Breslau's Jcws. Charlotte Schacffer, thc wifc
of a Jewish factory owner. remembered sending her son to the school because of its "hon nd less
tolerance". One of its most famous graduates, thc sociologist Norbert Elias, also rccalls the
Johannesgymnasium as onc of "thosc secondary grammar schools at which Jewish studcnts
cxpcrienced very little or no hidden or open antisemitic hostilities". Although locatcd in a
neighborhood with a less-than-average percentage of Jcws, the portion of Jewish students
constantly rose and exceeded thirty percent by 1900. In any event, thc school did not bccome a
"Golden Ghetto" for the sons of Breslau's Jewish bourgcoisie, but rather cstablished itself as a
highly cxclusive and well-respccted Institution for the whole city. In a debate on the
denominational character of the city's schools in 1910, the mayor noted thc
Johannesgymnasium's tremendous success with Christian as well as Jewish parents. The class

students from a lower-middle class or working-class background consequcntly declincd from
about fourteen to scven percent."
In some instances, Breslau's Jews experienced antisemilismin the city's schools in Ihc
Wilhelminian era. The general trend, however, points to a high degree of inclusion rather ihan
exclusion. Municipal authorities supported aclual Jewish equalily in the cily's schools; thcy wcrc
willing to integrate Jews as Jews. Strong Opposition from the antisemitic Prussian burcaucracy,
favoring notions ofa Christian State, curtailed the city's liberal policies. Jews as individuals might
be acceptable, but Judaism had to remain a second-class religion. Breslau Jews embraced the
public school System, despite these limits, as it offered the necessary means for educational
advancement. Those that hoped to establish a separate Jewish school System formcd a small
minority; even the majority of orthodox Jews derided them as backward."
After 1918, antisemitism made considerable inroads into the city's schools, although in
this case the contrast between the Wilhelmian and early Weimar era was not quitc as niarked as
in the sphere of politics. Even if there had been isolated incidences of antisemitism in Breslau
schools before 1914, after 1918 Jewish teachers and students encountercd aniniosity and
hostility more frequentiy. In 1921, when the municipal schoolboard intended to transfer Willy
Cohn to the Viktoriaschule, one the city's secondary schools for girls, the parents' advisory
Council successfuUy schemed against his employment by using slander. The schoolboard thcn
transferred Cohn to the Elisabeth-Gymnasium, a secondary school traditionally only hiring

teacher. Only after the schoolboard made it clear that it would not reconsider its decision, did
their resistance abate. Quite a few of the non-Jewish students were little better than their parents.
In many of the city's high schools they inscribed the school buildings with swastika graffiti,
distributed Ihousands of flyers of an antisemitic character, and challenged the aulhority of Jewish
teachers by openly displaying their animosity in class. By March 1921, the Situation had become

Throughout the Wilhelmian pcriod and the Weimar era, private and public forms of sociability-
particularly associational life and marriage pattems-also constituted an important facet of
rclations bclwccn Jews and other Breslauers. Few barriers limited Jewish inclusion in urban
associations. With the exception of expliciüy Christian and overtly antisemitic associations, the
great majority were open to Jews, including sports clubs, Choral, music, and art societies, the
liberal section of the Breslau freemasonry, numerous professional associations, as well as charity
and welfare organizations which were also open to Jewish women.^' When antisemitism surfaced
in associational life, Jewish mcmbcrs and the majority of Gentile membcrs reacted strongly
against it. In some cases, they voted antisemitic members out of boards and either elected
decidedly liberal or Jewish members as replaccments.^*

After 1918, however, antisemilism becamc more pervaslve in Breslau associalional life.
The lcx:al chapter of the Alpen verein effeclively cxcluded Jews in 1921. Antiseniitic members
had tried the samc move in 1888 but had faiied and had themselves been forced to leave the
association. And whereas scveral prcsidents of the city's medical association had been Jewish
bcfore 1918, antisemitic doctors in early 1925 successfuily founded a rival medical association
that excluded Jews, and vigorously campaigned for a boycott of Jewish doctors.^''
While interaction in associations docs not necessarily imply warm and amicable relations,
intermarriages indicate Ihe high degree of Jewish assimilation as well as inclusion in socicty at
iarge, and provide a window into the margins of German-Jewish life. Although it is well known
that Jewish-Gcntile intermarriage rales rose considerably after 1900, the history of marriages
between Jews and olher Germans remains shrouded in myth.
Few areas of general relations between Jews and othcr Germans have elicited commcnts
by contemporaries as bizarre as tliose conccrning intermarriages. For many Jewish and Gentilc
contemporaries, intermarriages indicated moral decay. Impoverished aristocrats or swanky
lieutenants married rieh Jewish women for their fortunes and together they made it to the front
page of the "Simplicissimus".^^ The sexologist Max Marcuse argued that a great number of thosc
who intermarried wcrc "neurotics" and that intermarriages reflected "psychological deformily"
leading to "a no doubt often dismpted family life". Similarly, the sociologist Werner Sombart
insisted that children of intermarriages lacked "mental balance". The Jewish sociologists Tänzer
and Theilhaber issued an even more alarming verdict, arguing that the offspring of intermarriages
frequenily wem on to a iife of crime. Confiaiing his disiike of lefi iic>erais and mixcd marriages,
the Breslau Zionist Willy Cohn argued that it was "no coincidence that somc Aryan democrats
intermarried, as inconsistency was the essencc of both left liberals and racial intermarriage"/'
Zionists and Reform Jews, liberal non-Jews and antisemites concurred in their negative

assessments, an eclectic and jarring alignment that reflected widespread gender anxieties and
resembled middle-class views of working-class, especially female, sexuality.
Historians have done very little to question these legends. Monika Richarz notes a "high
incidence of intermarriages between Jewish women and members of the aristocracy". Dirk
Blasius blames the relatively high divorce rate in Jewish-Christian marriages on "a long tradition
of inslabiUty in Christian-Jewish marriages". Hannah Arendt and more recently Todd Endelman
have argued that the statistics on intermarriage are misleading, since many of the "Christian"
partners in mixed marriages were really converts from a Jewish background. Contrary to Arendt
and Endelman but likewise without documentation, Alan Levenson, who recently completed a
dissertation on intermarriage, Claims that intermarriage led to "a severance of ties with the
Jewish world".^^ There are, however, exceptions. Marion Kaplan and Frances Henry briefly but
sensitively discuss mixed marriages, while Kerstin Meiring has just completed a thoroughly
rescarchcd and cogcntly argued dissertation on Jewish-Gentile intermarriages in Germany
between 1850 and 1933.*"

The rising rate of intermarriage in Breslau mirrored patterns found in other Iarge German
eitles. Between 1890 and the mid- 1920s the intermarriage rate among Breslau Jews neariy
quadrupled, from 1 1.2 to 39.2, peaking at 52.8 during the war years.^' Unlike other major
German eitles, Jewish males in Breslau were only slightly more likely to choose a non-Jewish

partner Ihan were Jewish women. It thus seems improbablc that intermarriage reflecled a sexual
disparlty among Breslau Jcwry, a demographic force that would havc pressurcd cithcr Jewish
men or women to marry outside Ihc Jewish fold. Between 1899 and 1908, the gender ratio
ainong Jews marrying Calholics remained even, while Jewish women accounted for 51.4% of all
Jewish-Protestant intermarriages. In the war and postwar years, however, the sexual ratio of
Breslau Jews opling for intermarriage convcrgcd wilh national trends, wilh Jewish nicn
accounting for about 55% of all Jewish-Calholic and all Jewish-Protestant intermarriages. Wilh
few exceptlons, Jewish-Gentiie marriages generally involved spouses of Jewish and Christian
background. In over 350 recorded intermarriages between 1905 and 1920, only twenty involved
former Jews as Christian spouses.
One of the most notable characteristics of mixed marriages in Breslau during this period
is (hat working- and lower-middle class Jews were more likely to intermarry than middle-class
Jews, a contrast especially glaring in the case of Jewish women. Only half of all intermarried '
women came from a middle-class background, in contrast to more than thrce quarters of all
brides in intra-Jewish marriages.^' Although a higher dcgree of anliscmitism ainong the middle
class may account for some disparity, different marriagc stratcgies wielded a far greatcr
influence. For the middle class. to a much higher degree than their working-class counterparls,
marriage served to maintain and augmcnt cultural, social, as well as economic capital. It was
primarily the Bürger and the Bürgerin who had family fortunes to win or lose in marriage. With
Jewish-Gentiie intermarriages still a relatively recent phenomenon, membcrs of the middle class

Berlin, met her first husband Siegfried Marck, the only son of Alfons Marck and a Privatdozent
in philosophy al the University of Breslau, during a holiday trip to the Silesian mountains when
she had just turned twenty. With both parents supervising their flirtation and cncouraging their
engagement, sense and sensibility rather than romance characterized the affair. "I would like to
read Plato with you", was Siegfried Marck's way of proposing to her: "Do you like the idea?"
While young Lola did like the idea in 1914, she soon became disenchanled and by 1919 their .
marriage had failed. In 1917, when riding a crowded streetcar in downtown Breslau, she
encountered the man who would becomc her second husband, the non-Jcwish writcr Armin T.
Wegner. "On the last platform I noticed a striking figure", she recalls in her autobiography, with
a face "fair as if cul from a noble stone, and possessing a pcrfectly symmetrica! bcauty". Meeting
sporadically in lilerary circles and political meetings of the peace movement, they sccretly
entertained a passionate romance. Whereas her husband, who was involved with a Student of his,
was willing to separate. Lola Landau 's father tried to block both divorcc and intermarriage by
emotional blackmail. "If you get divorced to marry this person", Theodor Landau remonstrated,
"you might as well be dead. For me you won'l exist anymore".'^ Even if Lola Landau's
autobiography, writtcn in response to her gricf follöwing Armin Wegner*s death in 1978, reveals
the complcx workings of mcmory, and even if their marriage was far from representative,
Breslau marriage records convey a similar picture.
The rislng number of mixed marriages developed in tandem with an independent and
assertive *new woman': women as much as men who intermarried arguably were pioneers of
more egalitarian relations between the sexes underminine traditional eender hierarchies.
Marriage records reflect that both Jews and Genüles who intermarried, and particularly Jewish
women, were more independent of their families, more adventurous and rebeliious than partners
t
in intra-Jewish marriages. While women in inü-a- Jewish marriages rarely worked, many ,
intermarried women, both Jewish and Gentile, pursued a professional careerj mostly as workers
or petty Clerks, at least until their marriage,'^ Jews, especially women, choosing a non- Jewish

" Between 1905 and 1909 40% of all Jewish intermarried women had a job. in contrast to only 10% of all women
in intra-Jewish marriages (1919-1920: 50% to 20%). It was unusual for women to have a job before marrying

ten or more ycars younger Ihan thc grooms, in more Ihan a Ihird of all intra- Jewish marriages tiie
husband was at leasl ten ycars senior to his wife. Finally, scrutiny of thc wilnesses at the wcdding
ceremonies suggests Ihat intcrmarriage tendcd to be an individual choice, whereas spouse
seleclion in inlra-Jewish marriages rcmained influenced by familics of both spouscs. Between

The rate of divorcc in niixed marriages rcmained low cven if it was higher than in inlra- '
Jewish marriages. Thc intcrmarriage of ihe Breslau Jew Franz Ungcrlcidcr and thc Protestant
Gabriele Jakubczik, who had married on April 3, 1920 and gol divorccd on June 26 thc samc
ycar, was anything but typical. True, in inlra-Jewish marriages divorcc was inuch less likely than
in mixed marriages: only four percent of all Breslau inlra-Jewish couplcs married in 1905
oblaincd a divorcc, compared to clcvcn percent of intcrmarriages between 1905 and 1909. Yct
cven among inlra-Jewish couplcs wed in 1920 eighlcen percent succcssfuUy filcd for divorcc,
mirroring the olhcr sidc of thc often over-hasty warlime weddings and the marriage epidemic of
the post-war period which cffccted inlra-Jewish marriage and intermarriage alike. And while
Ihirty percent of all postwar intcrmarriages eventually led to divorcc, had it not bcen for Nazi
anti-Jewish policy, the number of tcrminalcd intcrmarriages may well have rcmained at a Utile
over twcnly percent." The facl Ihat aboul four out of fivc Jcwish-Gcntile intcrmarriages
rcmained intact may not indicate Ihat thcy were all harmonious rclationships; it suggests,
howevcr, ihat both Jewish and Gentile partners struggled to make their marriages work, and
general ly speaking succccdcd. "
It is misleading lo cquate intcrmarriage with total assimilalion, bccausc more than a ihird

reprcscntcd the ullimate break with Jewish tradition. For others, it constituted one variety of
whal has bcen termed situational ethnicily, a concept which emphasizes the high degree to which
cthnicity is bound to social silualions. Although the Jewishncss of inlcrmarricd Jews was morc
problematic and fragile than for olher Jews, it may well have been iniportant and nicaningful to
thcm in some situations, such as family gatherings or religious celebrations, whercas in others it
was not. Ccrtainly Iheir Jewishncss was a new and unfamiliar sight and as such a disturbing
phenomcnon to bolh Jewish and Gentile observers, but it was also one of many ways to bc
Jewish in early twenticth-ccntury Breslau.*
The high degree of intermarriage suggests that the city's social life offered amplc
opportunity for Jews and other Brcslauers to develop more meticulous bonds of intimacy than
has been assumed. Thls bccanic cspecially true for Ihc working and lower-middle class, Icss for
the middlc class--a difference serving as a reminder that in the case qf inlcrmarriages, class
influenced the degree of German-Jewish inclusion considerably. The tum-of-the-ccntury Jewish
discussion of intermarriages also revealed this class difference: the discoursc primarily reflcctcd
middle-class Jews talking about working and lower-middle class Jews. Not surprisingly, thcy
cmployed stereotypes about sexual mores similar to those found in the Gcrman middlc class at
large.

IV. It seems fair to say that Jewish integration in Breslau was higher than niight havc bccn
expccted. Wilhelminian Breslau was certainly not a model mullicultural society. Much of the
discrimination that German Jews generally experienced-in naturalization procecdings. the
niilitary, the civil servicc, the judiciary, and Ihc universities-did not. howcver, originate with
niunicipal governments, but ralher in conservative and iraditional State politics. This
discrimination hurt, and Jewish dcfence agcncies joined forces with their liberal allics to combat
inslilutional prejudice. Contrary to Shulamith Volkov's assumption-rcprcscnting the dominant
View among scholars of German antisemitism-that "on the eve of World War I, anüscmiüsm
flourished in associations and organizations, in Student organizations and aniong organized civil
servants, tcachcrs, lawyers, and doctors," the myriad forms of Jcwish-Gcntilc intcracüon in
rcsidcntial patlcrns. schooling, associations, and intermarriages indicate that, at least in Breslau,
the walls of social anlisemitism werc less fomiidable. Exclusion directed against Jews was the
cxccption, inclusion the rule.
The history of Jewish-Gcnüle relations in late Imperial Gcrmany is a story of bolh
success and of failure. Rather than simply constituting a prelude to the Holocaust, the expericnce
of German Jews bcfore 1918 can also be underslood as part of the continuing conflict bctwccn
competing notions of the modern State, namcly between the concept of a homogencous naüon-
statc and those forms of government and self-understanding that allow for and rcflect diversity.
Within cerlain limits, Breslau Jews could participate in many dimensions of social lifo wilhout
shcdding their Jewishncss. Indced, Breslau Jews formed part of a larger Community that allowed
^;„»rc;.., «;j»hin nnitv «jimnlfanmiiRlv offerinß them a larßc mcasure of equality and allowing
them to remain meaningfuUy Jewish.
After war, revolution, post-war crises, and Inflation, relations between Jews and other
Breslauers took a turn for the worse. While the socioeconomic position of Breslau Jews
deteriorated after 1918, antisemitism inlensified, making considerable inroads into expected and
uncxpccted places in the fabric of Breslaues social life. In no area did Jewish-Gentile relations
dcteriorate as quickly as in the realm of politics. The democratization of city politics led to a

demise of communal libcralism exacerbated by a surge of antisemilic violcncc which, at least for
some, became an accepted means to political ends. The contrast belween Je\vish-Gentile
relations in Wilhelminian and Weimar Germany was less severe, but still clearly discemible, in
the areas of schooling and associalional life. In bolh cases, antisemilic exclusion increased aftcr
1918, considerably permeating the fabric of social life. The crisis of the early Weimar Republic
^ least affccled informal and private aspecls of Jewish-Gentile relations. The Icvel of intcrinarriagc
remained high throughout the Weimar years. To Breslau Jews then, the Weimar Republic
ultimately provcd more a curse ihan a blessing. While it theoretically removed all qualifications
directed against Jews that had marred the rule of law (Rechtsstaat) in Wilhelminan Germany, in
reality the Jcwish cxperience of antisemitism and discrimination reflected the growing chasm
between the Verfassungsideal and the Verfassungsrealität in early Weimar Breslau. Yet,
whatever the precise width of that chasm, the contrast between a high degree of Jewish
Integration in Wilhelminian Breslau and its rapid crosion after the First World War reminds us of
how careful wc need to bc when drawing lines of conlinuity between Imperial and Weimar
Germany, let alone Imperial and Nazi Germany."

Jewish Life in Breslau 1938-1941
BY MOSHE AYAI.ON
'm
Accounts of Jewish life in Germany during the National-Socialist period
normally concentrate on various aspects of persecution; less is known about daily
life and the struggle for basic necessities. During the years 1938 to 1941, thejews
of Breslau did their best to organise some kind of Community life, culture and
education; at the same time, they made desperate attempts to emigrate. While
the structure of normal life was dying, Jewish individuals maintained a sense of
dignity to the end.
Public and private archives have provided us with material about many
details of the history of the Jews in what was until recently West Germany,
whereas events in former East Germany, and especially in the regions annexed to
Poland, are less well-known. The experiences of Jews in Breslau (today
Wroclaw) might, or might not, be typical of other locations in the eastern
regions. However, some very interesting insights into and information about
Jewish life can be gained by taking a closer look at the dark years from 1938 until
the methodical deportations to ghettos, concentration and extermination camps
in the East.

I. THE NOVEMBER POGROM 1938*IN BRESLAU
During the November Pogrom in 1938, 2,471 Jews were arrested in Breslau,
including six out of the nine members of the Executive of the Jewish Community.
They were brought to the railway's freight depot, passing through a crowd of
curious bystanders, then put in cattle wagons and sent to the Buchenwald
concentration camp. At the Breslau Jewish Hospital the male staff were arrested
on the morning after the Pogrom, except for those doctors needed to give medical
treatment proper. The heads of the wards were summoned by the Gestapo -
among them Dr. Carl Fried, a radiologist, who was arrested and sent to
Buchenwald after being accused of disrespect because he appeared with
protective glasses over his eyes. He was released in January 1939. A number of
patients were arrested too, on the advice of two "Aryan" doctors. ' Trainees at the
Hachscharah centre Ellgut were given such a beating that they had to be
hospitalised.^

ordered to report to the police or Gestapo, under threat of härm to their families if
thcy did not comply. Willy Cohn, whose apartment had been overlookcd
reported to the Gestapo but was told to go home.* In addition to those Jews whö
were kilied outngh, or died in concentration camps, many others died fron,

All Jewish committees and organisations were dissolved. The communitv's
Offices were thcn reopened on I8th November 1938 by order and under ibe
supervision of the Gestapo. The three remaining members of the Executive weit
placed in sole charge of Community afikirs, under threat of heavy punishment for
any acts of disobcdience. Permission was granted to repair the synagogue Zum
weißen Storch, so that prayer Services could be held there and at the
Rhedigerplatz school. Use of the hospital's synagogue was limited to patientt j
only. Municipal subsidies to the Jewish welfare department stopped entirelyon |

II. ANTISEMITISM AND DISCRIMINATORY LEGISLATION
Antisemitic behaviour in Breslau increased after the November Pogrom and
especially after the beginning ofthe war. Anti-Jewish legislation was alsostepped .
up on both personal and institutional levels. Since June 1938 Jews had already 1
been forbiddcn to sit on public benches. Older people did not always see the "

warnings and were arrested if they sat down.^ Towards the end of 1938 Jewish
officials were excluded from their health insurance- in the words of Willy Cohn:
'^VVe've been thrown out of the Deutsche Beamtenkrankenkasse r^^ Art objects,
turned in following the decree forbidding possession of precious metals by Jews,'
were vandalised and assessed only on their content of gold and silver.^* Jews
were forbidden to be on the streets in groups of more than two people.
Daily life became more diflicult after the war began. Jews were, of course,
exempt from military Service. Cohn mentioned and even complained about it in
March 1939: *Jews are forever unsuitable to serve, even in Reserve Iir^'^ There
were those who claimed they had been born out of wedlock to avoid arousing
suspicions about their being Jewish.'^ Converted Jews attempted to relegate
their Jewish ancestry to the distant past. One Jewish physician, for example,
"remembered" that bis grandmother had had intimate relations with an
"Aryan".*^ Use ofelectricity was restricted to forty kilowatt hours a month, and
to one bulb of twenty-five watts per room. In this bleak atmosphere, every little
cause for happiness or celebration was of the utmost importance. Cohn mentions
in his diary, with obvious joy, how four children visited his little daughter on her
birthday and how there were some refreshments, quite an unusual Situation in
those times.'^ Late in 1939, a Jewish visitor from Berhn told her acquaintances
that one could still see Jewish women on the fashionable Kurfürstendamm
wearing make-up.*^ A year later someone remarked that Jews in Breslau were
hardly recognisable at first sight - they were thin and pale and wore worn-out
clothes.*^
On Yom Kippur 1939, Jewish prayer Services were permitted only for young
people in the Rhedigerplatz school, while a service for 150 teachers and officials
of the Jewish Community was held in the Repräsentanten-Saal of the Community
building.^^ Owners of radio sets were ordered to turn them in on the same day,
not an easy task given the weight of radios at that time. Officials at the collecting
stations bchavcd rudely and inauc people wait. One was heard to say that he feit
sick just looking at Jews. Cohn wrote in his diary about the antisemitic
atmosphere on the streets, and how he and his wife had abuse shouted at them. '^
On other occasions he noted down different impressions, as for instance the
decent behaviour of some of the Beamten, and the absence of antisemitic insults

Cards and those whose eards were without the obligatory names "Israd" or

Insufficient food was a problem for everyone, but especially for Jews as thev
were denK=d part of the regulär rations. In Breslau there were a certain number of
grocers butchers and dairies where Jews could shop, but only during restricted
hours. In September 1939 they were allowed to buy groceries'betwee^n etven o
dock and half past twelve in the morning and meat between five and six o'clock
m the evening. Demonstrators in front of a butcher's shop shouted- "fews need
no mc^t.Chaserßeisch [pork] for Germans only and not for Jews.''^^ From time to
time Cohn mentions the difficulty of obtaining food in his diary. He bought
sweets for his little daughter at a vending machine because they would not sd

rcmembered afterwards the scarcity of food in Breslau before their deportation.
Indeed, the special problemsjews had with obtaining food, in addition to the
general scarcity of provisions during the war, points to the serious problemsjews
must have had in procuring the barest necessities.^" Food had to be obtained one
way or another, and people unable to do it themselves had to ask relatives or
friends to go Shopping for them, or even pay unemployed people to do it. Most
reports or memoirs describing working conditions and relations with non-Jewish
persons stress the scarcity of food more than the hostile behaviour of "Aryan" co-
workers. There were also cases when friendly people, whether neighbours,
colleagues or even just ordinary passers-by, presented Jews with a piece of bread
or an apple. These were exceptions which could not, however, improve general
conditions.
Towards the end of 1939 Jews throughout Germany were deprived of ration
Cards for clothes and shortly afterwards for fabric, shoes and shoe-soles as well.
These had to be obtained from the community's clothing warehouse or be bought
second-hand. They were allowed to buy sewing material for twenty Pfennig once
every three months.^^ The warehouse was supplied by emigrants and by the
remaining Jews who had to turn in all but two of their suits. The non-Jewish
Supervisors usually took the better items for themselves. One can imagine how
people looked: hungry, thin, and wearing one of only two suits which had to serve
for both everyday use and as working clothes; sometimes they were hardly
recognisable at first sight.^^ Scarcity of heating fuel added to the hardship,
especially in Breslau, where the winter season is extremely cold. Cohn mentions
in his diaries that Jews did not always receive their coal rations, and on 15th
February 1940 he noted that soon he would have to use wooden boxes and after
that furniture for heating. Three days later he wrote that on supply days for the
"Aryan" population he could pick up coal offthe streets."^' One-and-a-half years
later, on 14th September 1941, the Cohns were given five hundredweight of coal.

people came to look at their apartment and Cohn expressed his fear of having to
leave. It is probable that he and his family were deported not long after this
event.
Willy Cohn noted each new measure of discrimination and persecution in his
diary for 1940:
SOthJanuary 1940: Jews need travel permits.
27th March 1940: Barber Service is only available until nine o'clock in the
morning.
14th June 1940: Overseas mail must be taken to the post office personally.

20th June 1940: Jews are forbidden to sit on all public benches. (Only three
months earlier, on Ist April, Colin had remarked that along the waterfront there
were still some benches where a Jew could rest.)
29th July 1940: No fruit available for Jews.
2nd November 1940: A storekeeper is summoned by the police after being
denounced for selling fruit to Cohn's wife.
All of a sudden the most banal matters became important and memorable
enough to be noted in the diary. It is almost possible to feel Cohn's pleasure when
he discovered benches where Jews were allowed to sit along the waterfront, and
his sorrow three months later when this also was prohibited. Some discrim'inat-
ory measures were initiated by local authorities; in Breslau, for example, the sale
of fruit was prohibited to Jews whereas in Hamburg Jews could still buy it.
People tried to manage, but constantly feared for the future.
In June 1941 the Beate Guttmann-Heim was confiscated for army use and its
inhabitants transferred to Tormersdorf in Silesia, where they were housed in a
run-down building which had previously served as a mental institution.^'^ In late
August 1941 a group oi: Hitlerjugend RiiRckcd the Community building, breaking
the Windows. Cohn believed that antisemitism would increase in proportion to
the losses at the front.^^ Reactions differed when Jews were made to wear the
Yellow Star on 1 9th September 1 94 1 . The head physician of the Jewish Hospital,
Dr. Siegmund Hadda, recalled verbal insults, whereas Cohn remarked in his
diary that the Star did not seem to impress the Gentiles and maybe even
embarrassed them.^"^ Cohn documents all these events in a matter-of-fact way
which lends them much credibility. It is quite easy to see the influence of
rumours on his - and probably other people's - behaviour. In October 1940
about 6,500 Jews from Baden and the Palatinate were deported to unoccupied
France and incarcerated in the Gurs internment camp. Shordy afterwards Cohn
wrote about preparins suitcases in case of possible exoulsion.^^ He also had nnife
an individual approach to some problems: when he learnt about the forthcoming
decree on the wearing of the Yellow Star, Cohn wrote that the librarian of the
Breslau Dom library had assured him he could continue his research work there.
He shows a bitter sense of humour by calling the Yellow Star "Orden pour le
semite".^^
Cohn, and probably others, clung obstinately to every sign and rumour about
a possible change for the better. Towards the end of September 1941 he writes
about the hostile graffiti against Hitler in public toilets and that he thought it

"symptomatic". He also mentions various rumours about revolts, but "... there
will still be a lot of terror before this [regime] disappears"."^^
The economic Situation of Jews in Breslau was similar to that of Jews
ebcwhere in Germany. Cohn remarked that bis bank account was blocked in
tccordance with a decree which restricted the free disposal of money deposited
• byjews.^^ The process of transferring Jewish property into "Aryan" hands
(Arisierung) y which was happening throughout Germany and which sped up after
ihc November Pogrom, was carried out by local authorities or in some places by
special agencies. There is no evidence to suggest that such a special agency
existed in Breslau.
The escalating discriminatory handling of taxation until final confiscation and
dcportation was particularly hard for individuals to bear. It became clear that
thc authorities regarded Jewish assets as funds for the taking. In addition to
various government and local taxes, Jews had to pay Community taxes, which
wcre vital for the maintenance of the Services of the Jewish Community. Formerly
ihe State had collected thcse taxes at a rate of fiftecn per ccnt, but from 28th
March 1938, when Jewish communities lost their Status as public corporations,
thc Jewish authorities had to collect taxes themselves and were not allowed
access to the Finanzamts assessments. The community's own assessments caused
friction and quarreis. The Jüdisches Nachrichtenblatt intermittently published
appeals for help to pay Community taxes and asked for donations for various
causes.^^ Early in 1939 the Gestapo inspected financial arrangements and found
one rieh Jew in Breslau whose tax assessment was too low for the value of his
property. He was arrested and only released after he had paid a new, higher tax.
This was intended as a warning to Jews to pay up in full."^^ According to the
Jüdisches Nachrichtenblatt of February 1939, Jewish emigrants had to pay synago-
gue taxes in addition to all other payments, and another tax of ten per cent for
i^, cmigration {Reichsßuchts teuer) ^^ At the end of 1940 Jews were ordered to pay an
additional hiiccn per cent of their income, the same tax that Polish Ibrced
workers had to pay .'*' This exorbitant taxation drained away the last remnants of
Jewish capital and most Jews became totally impoverished. As early as 1939 Dr.
Mark Wischnitzer, a delegate of the American Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee, wrote in his report: ". . . after all the liabilities and taxes have been
paid, the emigrants are left entirely destitute and those without assets or work
. . . abroad become charges of private welfare institutions".^^ During June 1939,
200 of the riebest members of the Community were ordered to pay twenty per cent
of their capital to help pay for the emigration of the poor. One-and-a-half million

ordered to pay only ten per cent, but whatever the correct figure, Rabbi Moses
Hoffmann observed that no rabbi would have succeedcd in persuadine these
people to donate such an amount to the poor.**
III. GESTAPO AND REICHSSICHERHEITSHAUPTAMT
The Breslau Gestapo headquarters were estabhshed in the Private Jüdische Schule
wh.ch was confiscated during the November Pogrom. The local branch of the
Gestapo had somc special characteristics - Pastor Heinrich Grüber described it as
bemg one of the worst in Germany.« The Jewish Community was kept under
stnct supcryision, its liaison officer bcing Mr. PoUak, former chairman of the
Retchsbund judischer Frontsoldaten in Breslau. Jews reporting to the Gestapo had to
announce the.r name with the prefix></.. Only those equipped with a medical
certihcate signed by a district physician were allowed to sit down ^
The Gestapo constantly found new pretences for harassing the Jewish popu-
lation. In September 1939, 500 uncmployed Jcws were drafted for the purpose of
harvestmg sugar beet, but could not be supplied with clothes because the
Contents of the community's clothes warehouse had been confiscated by the
Gestapo. Apartments were searched for food hoards. A night curfew for Jews was
mtroduced, starting at eight o'clock in the evening.*^ On the eve of Yom Kippur
thejewish Community was ordered to evacuate an old people's home and band it
over the next day in immaculate condition. People worked all night, scrubbing
and cleaning on what was, for them, the most sacred Holiday. The old people
were then sheltered in the halls oUhc Jüdisch-Theologisches Seminar, whose well-
known library had already been plundered.*^
One of the main aims of the Gestapo during this period was to speed up Jewish
.....5,.„>.^... . ..,^. 1..1, „a, aidiicu, jews naa to report once a month on how their
preparations for emigrating were progressing. In order to prove that they were
makmg efforts towards that goal, Jews registered with Apda (a misspelling of the
Hebrew Ha'apala, i.e., non-legal immigration into Palestine; its German code
name was SH or Sonder-Hachschara).]ews were also registered with the German
travel agency HAPAG for Operation "Palästina".« The local Gestapo even
undertook an mitiative, trying to hire a ship to take Jewish emigrants to
Shanghai. Early in 1939 Dr. Georg Less, the chairman of thejewish Community
and the vice-chairman Willy Gluskinos were called to a Gestapo official who told
them about a plan to evacuate a large number of Jews from Breslau, and that he
had contacted a shipyard in Hamburg with this end in mind. Less went to Berlin
to discuss this plan with the authorities, but it was not approved and its Initiators

wcre rebuked. Gluskinos mentioned in his report that from then on the relations
with the Gestapo became more strained.^^
A woman who survived Auschwitz recalled that in Breslau the Jewish
Hohdays were the preferred days for arrests. Even after the unspeakable
hardship and terror of Auschwitz she still remembered this.^* After an
unsuccessful attempt on Hitler's life on 19th November 1939, 120 to 150 Breslau
Jcws were arrested and sent to Buchenwald. Walter Tausk believed that this
only happened in Breslau and other locations in Silesia, and not, for example, in
Bcrlin.^^ Siegmund Hadda describes in his memoirs an incident of possible
bribery of the Gestapo. During a search of his home, a coin collection was found.
The Gestapo ofBcial asked the doctor what to do with it. It was obvious that
rcporting this find would have meant deportation to a concentration camp; so
Hadda told the official: "Please take the collection and throw it into the water."
After this, whenever this man came to the hospital, Hadda remembers that '*he
showed no bad manners". ^^
h IV. THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF BRESLAU
b.
In 1939, the Jewish population of Breslau amounted to 10,848 Jews if defined by
race and 10,309 if defined by religion.^"^ There were three major groups:
Community officials and employees whose main task was to administer the afiairs
of the Breslau Community as required by the Nazi authorities, with very little
room for manoeuvre within their Orders. Most other Jews were ordinary
members of the Community, occupied with the daily struggle to make ends meet
and the attempt to maintain a decent family and social life. The third group
m. consisted of former Beamten and Community officials with fixed pensions. These
pcople had fewer financial problems, although there was not much they could
buy - apart froni usiiig ilic black iiiaikcl.
The Jewish Community in Breslau belonged to the Reichsvereinigung der Juden in
Deutschland, serving as a regional branch. The accounts department covered only
those expenses deemed absolutely necessary, but Cohn was of the opinion that
the community's staff could still have been reduced by thirty per cent.^^ This
however was just his personal opinion. Even if there were too many employees
this may have been due to humanitarian considerations - to give an income to
more people. Other reasons were that Community staff were less subject to
harassment by the authorities; and that those employed by the Community
provided Statistical proof about the Jewish work-force which it was hoped would

6,000 - 7,000 people, including those who had been transferred there from rural
areas. Among them were tailors and seamstresses, hairdressers, bath attendants,
cobblers and people from other professions licensed for Jews (usually in the
Service industry to prevent personal contact between Jews and non-Jews), a total
of fifty to one hundred artisans. There were still also the officials and employees
of the Jewish Community, between forty and fifty Krankenbehandler (the new
official term for Jewish doctors), approximately fifteen dentists and six to eight
jurists. Others were recruited for vital industries and forced labour.^^

Religious Life
The law against reconstruction of the destroyed synagogues of 12th November
1938 still allowed for repairs.^^ The beautiful synagogue of the Liberal
congregation had, as mentioned beforc, been burned down. But permission to
repair the Slorchsynagoge, which had been stripped inside, was grantcd and
Orthodox and Liberal prayer Services were held in succession on Saturdays and
Jewish Holidays. Prayer Services during weekdays were held in the synagogue
near the Community building at Wallstraße. Rabbi Dr. Bernhard Hamburger
gave lectures there twice weekly, after afternoon Services. At one time the same
prayer hall also served as a morgue.^^ Many Torah scrolls were kept at the
Storchsynagoge. Cohn remarked in his diary that during Simhath Torah festivities in
the autumn of 1941 he was honoured by carrying the Sixteenth Scroll.^^ Prayer
Services were also held at synagogues inside Jewish institutions: in the Rhediger-
platz school, in the Beate Gut tmann- Heim and in the Jewish Hospital, where

Holidays, prayer Services for the Liberal congregation were held in the

Reinhold Lewin.^^ There were daily prayer Services, except on very cold days
when no coal was available. As Willy Cohn remarked: "Even if there is [coal
available], the heat is not turned on, in order to avoid [slander]".^^ After the
buildings ofmost Jewish institutions had been confiscated, only public synago-
gues were left for prayer Services, and at the end of 1941 the Wochentagssynagoge
was taken over by the Gestapo. The auditorium in the Freundehaus was emptied of
its furniture, obviously in preparation for its future use as an assembly Station for
deportees.^^

Jewish Life in Breslau 333
After the confiscation of synagogues and prayer halls, Orthodox and Liberal
Services were held in the Community Building, which became very crowded even
with the benches removed. The prayer-book was the siddur Sefath Emeth of the
traditional Jewish congregations in Germany, with some texts from the Liberal
prayer-book in German. The cantor was Orthodox, and Reinhold Lewin, who
was Liberal, served as rabbi. Official prayer Services continued until mid-1944,
and after that there was still communal prayer, sometimes in a carpentry shop,
with up to twenty people praying silently to avoid being heard.^^ Those
participating were obviously either ''Mischlinge' or married to non-Jewish
spouses, as all the other Jews had been deported.
During thcse years of persecution, prayer Services became a vital part of life
and fulfilled an existential need. One of the survivors, then a young boy, recalled
that they were a reinforcement of the human spirit and a reminder of the positive
aspects of life.^'^ Rabbi Leo Baeck, during bis visit to Breslau in June 1941,
pointed out the importance of prayer. In an address at a local synagogue he said
that a (future) historian would praise the Jews of Germany for preserving the
principles of ''Schule, Gottesdienst und Wohltätigkeit".^^ There were problems
despite this generally positive approach to prayer Services. Cohn mentions
trouble during the elections of the head of the Mugdan synagogue and complains
in his diary about the lack of leadership which resulted in disputes about prayer
arrangements.^^
A Jewish spirit and atmosphere could be feit at the celebrations for Hanukkah
and during the lectures about the Jewish faith and traditions given twice weekly
by Rabbi Hamburger. Various religious activities almost certainly took place in
private circles, but there is no documentation to prove this.^^ Dietary laws
(kashruth) were observed for as long as possible. In 1939 an announcement in the
Jüdisches Nachrichtenblatt published details about -food for Passover, which could
be ordered at the Community offices. One year later, Willy Cohn r'emarked that
in spite of difTicuhies his wife oreranised a nice seder table. ^^ In 1 Q41 ;i u/;»frcronlr.ar^
oi mazzoth was sent from Hungary and Jews could obtain their share with ration
Cards, but they had to pay custom duties for "special pastry". Cohn notes in his
diary that his family had their share o^ mazzoth, though not a sufficient amount
for the whole week of Passover.^^

physical survival of Jews in Germany during this period, due to their extremcpo-

great deal of activity resumed with the renewal of Community work after the
November Pogrom of 1938. Funds were obtained by the sale of real estate and
shares, and the merging of charitable foundations. All these financial matters
were agreed on with the central authorities of the Reichsvereinigung in Berlin.^^
Out of the approximately 10,000 Jews of Breslau, 8,200 needed assistance of
some kind. To make such a support System viable, the amount of money given to
each individual or family was rcduced, although the fmancial Situation improved
after the special emigration tax mentioned above was levied on the wealthy.^' A
report of May 1939 states that in -the previous year 325,000 meals had been
handed out by the public kitchens organised by the Community. People were
allowed to take these meals home, which enabled families to eat together around
their own dinner table. Food was collected from Jewish homes on specific days to
faciHtate this project.^^ During winter ihe Jüdische Winterhilfe gave additional aid;
during the summer months this same Organisation was called Jüdische Pflicht,
One of the various other groups which cared for special needs, the Jüdische
Nothilfe, created a self-help System among the needy. Children tidied the
cemetery during their spare time, dclivered meals for the sick and the aged, and
when deportations began,. they helped people prepare for the journey.^^ This
kind of mutual help raised the general morale as people feit they were giving, not
just receiving.
Lack of fuel prevented people having baths during the cold season, so the
Jewish Community rented a bathhouse, which they renovated at great expense.
The Jüdisches Nachrichtenblatt urged members of the Community to use it often, in
Order to ease the heavv financial bürden of its unkeen^"^
The Jewish Hospital, with 300 beds, was among the largest in all the Jewish
communities in Germany. When the order to evacuate it within forty-eight hours
was given on 29th August 1939, about one hundred patients who were able to
walk were sent home, and fifty critically ill patients were transferred to the
Israelitisches Siechenheim, a home for the aged and chronically ill; its inhabitants
evacuated two floors for them by crowding onto the top floor. No medical
equipment was allowed out of the hospital and only a limited supply of
medicines. Somehow a small X-ray machine was obtained. Two operating
rooms were set up in a private clinic which had twelve bedrooms. Three months
later the Siechenheim was also confiscated, and the patients were transferred to the
second and third floor of the Wallstraße Community building. A surgical ward
was established in a large private clinic with seventy-two beds. Jewish patients
were treated there until November 1942, and it also catered for Polish patients

attempt to overcomc the shortage of experienced nurses, who were in demand
overseas and encountered relatively few problems during emigration procedures.
Jewish women trained in this manner acquired quite a good level of skills.^^
A nurse who survived Auschwitz compiled a hst ofthe hospital personnel at
the Community building which shows there was a medical staffof ten doctors,
seventeen female and male nurses and seven administrative employees, includ-
mg a rabbi and one caretaker. Out of these thirty-four, twenty-s'ix were
murdered in the East or died of diseases such as tuberculosis, brought on by the
terrible living conditions in the camps; two committed suicide. The nurse whose
testimony provides this information worked in the hospital until she was
deported in Fcbruary 1943. She married her fiance, Dr. Tallert, in a hastily
arranged ceremony at the deportee assembly Station. He never came back.^^
Latour and Housing
The process of using Jcws for forccd labour started with unemploycd pcoplc
being scnt to do agricultural and seasonal work. When winter came, Jews were
ordered to clear snow from streets and public places. At first such recruitment
was only sporadic, later things took on a more orderly and disciplined character.
In May 1940 a note was posted in the Community centre, ordering Jewish males
aged between sixteen and sixty years and women between sixteen and fifty-five
years to report for work. Jewish doctors gave them medical examinations and
those found to be fit were sent as unskilled labour to sort waste material, clear
snow, work on the roads and perform unskilled labour in factories - all for one
Reichsmark a day, out of which they had to pay their own streetcar fare of thirty
Pfennig?'^ Those recruited were also sent to privately-owned factories after
..v.x^ ^K^iK.K.Kx Kjti, utit tiicy iiau no means oi eniorcmg

these conditions. Cohn mentions a case where a group of Jewish labourers had
been ordered to work for a whole year at 72 Pfennig an hour, and added that the
German trustee would probably soon lower this to half the sum. This rate of pay
was in accordance with an official decree, by which the Reichsarbeitsministerium
authorised the Reichstreuhänder der Arbeit to issue regional decrees not to pay Jews
for holidays or overtime, or give any other additional pay.^^ In 1940 the
Reichsarbeitsministerium asked for 4,000 workers, even though at that time there
were at the most 8,500 Jews in Breslau, includingold people and children. About
the same time the Reichswehr General Staff asked for 1 ,800 Jews or 1 ,500 Jews and
300 Polish POWs to work for the railway administration in Oppeln, Breslau and
Lublin.^^

One Jewish workcr later wrote in his memoirs that he was employed with
other Jews by the vehicle factory Famo, and that they did not experience any
hostile treatment from their non-Jewish co-workers. On the other band, having
to wear the Yellow Star made them feel closer to the PoHsh workers, whose
dothes were marked with the letter "P". Other reports teil of the decent
bchaviour of "Aryan" coUeagues, who appreciated the industriousness of the
Jewish workers in spite of their lack of professional knowledge.
Problems with housing arose for Jews in Breslau at an early stage. The
Jüdisches Nachrichtenblatt reported as soon as 13th December 1938 that there were
no available rooms listed at the community's housing department. Lack of
suitable housing space was caused in part by the influx of Jews from rural areas,
cspecially after the November Pogrom. This internal migration continued after
1938, as can be seen from advertisements in ihc Jüdisches Nachrichtenblatt.
The ban on Jewish tenants had no formal beginning by law or decree. It
Started with "Aryan" landlords refusing to let apartments to Jews, and Jews
trying to leave hostile neighbourhoods. The new tenancy law of 30th April 1939
finallydenied Jewish tenants all rights.^* The '^Aryanisation" of Jewish apart-
ments began in the same year. At first, owners had to deliver lists of their Jewish
tenants. These were not evicted, but they had to take in homeless families;
usually one room was allotted to each family.^^ Non-Jewish neighbours
sometimes spied on Jews and reported so-called unlawful behaviour: for
instance, when people reported that they could smell the aroma of cooking
chicken Coming from a Jewish apartment, food which Jews were not allowed to
buy.®^ After the war began, even more Jews were forced into already crowded
housing space and the Situation worsened in 1940. Cohn remarked on 27th July
1940 that if a non-Jewish individual liked a certain apartment and wanted to
move in, the Jewish tenants were ordered to move out. A lot of Jewish flats were
acquired by the regional Gauleitung; it compiled a list of apartments it was

reports from Breslau, Jews were packed into living quarters similar to those in
ghettos. In several of these reports the Roonstraße is mentioned and it is possible
that many Jews were forced to live in this one area.®"^ In any case, employees of
the Jewish Community did everything possible to obtain shelter for everyone in
need. As late as October 1941 a Community ofiicial looked into the possibility of
housing severai families in the administrative rooms of the Jewish cemetery.®^

Jewish Youth and Education
Before November 1938 there were many Jewish educational institutions in
Germany. In Breslau, there was a division between Orthodox and Liberal
schools. The question of a united educational programme on religious questions
for pupils of mixed backgrounds had brought about the so-called Breslauer
Schulkonflikt in 1937. The Liberal Angerschule was closed down after the November
Pogrom of 1938, and some of its pupils were transferred to classes in the
Wallstraße Community building, others to the Privates Jüdisches Reform- Realgymna-
sium at Rhedigerplatz, which had originally been Orthodox. This school
belonged to i\\t Jüdischer Schulverein and was subsidised by the Einheitsgemeinde. ^^
On Ist October 1939 all Jewish schools were ordered to implement a united
educational System under the authority of the Reichsvereinigung, which marked the
end of different religious orientations in education. At the same time Jewish
schools were no longer allowed to carry the title Oberschule. Their new title was
Jüdische höhere Schule, but the change was in name only, not in Standards er levels
of education. The school at Rhedigerplatz still offered elementary and high
school levels. Inside the school there was also a synagogue and a physics
laboratory, and in the basement and attic were classrooms and Workshops for
vocational training courses for young people and for adults interested in job
retrammg.
In the early months of 1 939 there were still 579 Jewish children of school age in
Breslau, eighty of them in high school; fifteen passed their matriculation
examinations. The number of Jewish schoolchildren remained fairly constant,
due to newcomers from rural areas who took the place ofthose who emigrated. In
October 1941, just before the first deportations ofjews in Germany, there were
still 512 pupils and twenty-one teachers in seventeen classes in Breslau.^^ In late
1940 the school building at Rhedigerplatz was confiscated and a branch of the
Hitlerjugend was opened there instead. Pupils had twenty-four hours to empty the
classrooms, so they transferred furniture, books and equipment in handcarts to
classrooms set up in the Freundehaus and the Wallstraße Community building.
As in other German towns (except Berlin), high school studies for Jewish
pupils in Breslau were abolished on 9th April 1941. It seems that it was planned
to transfer the more talented students to the only remaining Jewish high school in
Berlin, but there is no information available as to their number or whether the
plan was carried out at all.^^
Jewish schools in Breslau were much more than mere places of study. There
was a feeling of Community and friendship between teachers, pupils and their
families. In September 1939, for example, parents were entertained with musical

and artistic Performances by pupils at the Rhedigerplatz school. Rabbi HofF-
mann spokc on this occasion about the importance of "community" during thesc
times, and parenls expressed their gratitude to teachers for their skilful guidancc
of the children. A former pupil wrote in 1972 about the friendly relationship
between teachers and pupils. The teachers tried to give the children a chance to
experience some of the joy of life, and the school became ". . . eine Oase der
Toleranz, Humanität und Hilfsbereitschaft. Sie wurde gegründet, um das
Judische im Menschen zu betonen. In den Jahren ihrer Reife ... hat [sie] das
Menschliche in den Juden Breslaus zu einem einmaligen Erlebnis gestaltet."^^
Among the l,500Jews who were transferred during the summer and autumn
months of 1941 to villages in rural Silesia, there were approximately 100 children
between the ages of six and sixteen. The Jewish orphanage of the Breslau
Community had becn evacuated as early as September 1 940; some of the children
had been put up in the attic of the Beate Guttmann-Heim, others in the sick ward for
nervous disorders at the Community centre. At the Jewish cemetery in Cosel, an
empty patch of land was reserved as a playground for Jewish children, since t'hey
were forbidden to play in parks.^' After the evacuation, the children continucd
their studies in the camp at Tormersdorf in one classroom, but there is no further
Information available about them or their teacher. Twenty-six pupils were
taught by a teacher called Singer at Grüssau and ten pupils by another teacher
called Baruch Freier at Riebnig. These classes were officially considered a
branch of the remaining Jewish school in Breslau, as can be seen by reports from
the Reichsvereinigung to the Ministry of Education. Later, all evacuees were sent to
the East. Jewish educational institutions ceased to exist in Breslau, as every-
where eise in Germany, on 30th June 1942.^^
The authorities considered vocational training centres for young Jewish
people as a means of promoting emigration. The completion of certain courses,
for cxamplc, cnabicd young trainees to gain entry visas to England where they
could continue their training. These centres continued with their programmes
even after the beginning of the war. They also fulfilled local demands - courses
were given in Breslau to train volunteers to work with people confined to their
homes, to take care of their own or their families' needs, or to gain basic practical
nursing skills.^^ Not far from Breslau was Ellgut, a Hachschara centre for adults.
Younger people were trained at Groß-Breesen, an estate which did not belong to
the PalästinaaniL On 5th September 1941, representatives of the Reichsvereinigung
were told by the Gestapo official Richard Gutwasser that this estate would soon be
evacuated.^^ Jewish youths from Breslau were also trained at the Hachschara

centres Schniebinchen and Winkel. Early in 1941, Youth Aliyah groups gave
Performances in Jewish educational institutions to further their cause - in
Breslau it was Youth Aliyah pupils from Schniebinchen who gave a Perfor-
mance. This Hachschara centre was also closed shortly afterwards.^^
i''i
Kulturbund, Press and Publications
Until November 1938 the Bres\2LU Jüdischer Kulturbund had been involved in a
variety of activities. It had its own orchestra, the Jüdischer Musikverein Breslau.
Local Jewish artists also gave stage Performances. The theatre group later
became a branch of the Jewish theatre in Hamburg, which was turned into a
touring Company. ^^ Kulturbund activities stopped throughout Germany with the
November Pogrom, but were renewed on the 28th of the same month. All
Seminars for adults were closed and from then on the Jewish Community was only
allowed to organise foreign language courses.^^
In 1939, the Breslau Kulturbund had around 2,800 members. It organised stage
Performances which took place at the Freundehaus, and sometimes actors came
from Berlin. But most of the time the auditorium was used as a cinema and film
Screenings were usually well attended.^^ There were also concerts and light
entertainment evenings — normally in the form of a Variety Evening {Bunter
Abend). After a night curfew was imposed on Jews this had to be changed to
Variety Afternoons. Performances in Breslau were temporarily stopped at the
beginning of the war and renewed on 2 Ist October 1939. From then on there
were even fewer live Performances, which usually consisted of a one-man or a
small ensemble show.
Advertisements in ihe Jüdisches Nachrichtenblatt give us a good idea of the type
and frequency of entertainments in Breslau. From March 1939 until the
beginning of the war, films were shown on twenty evenings, most of them in two
or three Screenings. Each film was accompanied by a newsreel, or a short
geographical film to show possible emigration destinations. This had been
ordered by Hans Hinkel, the Kommissar in the Reichspropagandaministerium who
was in charge of Jewish cultural institutions and activities in Germany.^^ There
were also three theatre Performances and two evenings of light entertainment,
one puppet show and one Performance by schoolchildren. From October to
December 1939, films were shown on thirty occasions and there was one Bunter
Nachmittag. The lack of live entertainment was probably due to the difficulty of
train journeys along the supply routes to the eastern front. From January to the
end of March 1940, fifteen films were shown, a string quartet from Berlin gave a

concert and thcre was one musical afternoon. From April 1940 onwards films
could only be shown on Sundays, with three daily Screenings at eleven o'clock,
half past two and five o'clock. It is not known whether this was due to a decree or
because of low audience attendance caused by compulsory werk on weekdays. It
IS also hkely that people were not keen on being concentrated in one location, for
fear of benig arrested. Thcre was a plan to open a restaurant and coffee shop in
the Freundehaus in order to provide a place with a relaxed, cuitural atmosphere
but It IS not known whether this plan was realised.'*'"
In September 1941 one last concert Performance was organised by the welfarc
oTgamsmon Jüdische Pflicht. A few days later, the Breshu Kulturbund was closed
down. While it existed, entertainment provided by and for Jews was very much
in demand. But the hardships of daily life, together with technical and
psychological difficulties, restricted the number and nature of these entertain-
ments considerably.
The November Pogrom also brought a sudden end to the many Jewish
penod.cals. From November 1938 onwards only the new hi-wcekly Jüdisches
Nachrichtenblatt was published: one edition in Berlin, the sccond in Vienna Both
were under strict supervision from Hinkel's men at the Propagandaministerium.
Ihe Berlin edition also printed local news from other towns, among them
Breslau. Willy Cohn, for ejcample, sometimes wrote editorials about lewish
Holidays. ^
The Publishing and distribution of books was carried out by the Kulturbund
alone after the Jewish Publishing houses had been closed down. Books were sent
to branch offices of the Reichsvereinigung and to the Jewish communities for local
distnbution. In Breslau Jewish literature and religious books were sold at just
such a distributing Station, a Bücherstube. Second-hand books were given out for
free. '
Emigration and Deportation
The Promotion of emigration was considered the most important function of the
Reichsvereinigung and its local branches. The Zentralstelle für Jüdische Auswanderung
opened a branch in Breslau and the local Hilfsverein was open day and night. '»^
Gestapo officials put a lot of pressure on Jews to persuade them to emigrate, as has
been described above. Jews registered at the local Palestine office for emigration
to that destination - although there was no hope of success, it served as proofof
their endeavours. The only way for many Jews to leave Germany was through
emigration to Shanghai. Local Gestapo officers ordered Jews to apply for money
from the Hilfsverein to pay for their passage to China instead of waiting for
entrance visas to other countries. As fares and other expenses rose, people had
Problems obtainmg the necessary funds. Just how desperate people were to

emigrate can be seen from the kind of advertisements published in iht Jüdisches
Nachrichtenblatt. People took a practical approach: they sought spouses who
would improve their chances of emigrating, i.e. partners with contacts abroad,
those who possessed immigration certificates to Palestine or those whose
professions were in demand abroad. ^^^ This led to many marriages of conve-
nience. A secret report by the SS Sicherheitsdienst on 25th April 1941 complains
that Jews who were already abroad were taking up most of the Civil Court's time,
as divorce cases had to be dealt with at the husband's last place of residente; in
Breslau alone thirty such cases were pending. ^^"^ It seems quite probable that
some or even a majority of these divorce cases were the result of a marriage of
convenience for the purpose of emigration.
On 28th February 1940, Willy Cohn noted in his diary the deportation of 900
Jews from Stettin. This occurred on the night of 1 2th February, when a thousand
Jews from the local Community were put aboard trains and sent to the Lublin
region. The news of this disturbing development did not take long to reach Jews
in Breslau. *^^ Mass evacuation from Breslau started on 8th July 1941 with the
transfer of old people from the Beate Guttmann-Heim to Tormersdorf. From then
on, some 1 ,500 Breslau Jews were transferred there or to the villages Riebnig and
Grüssau. They were brought back to the transit stations in Breslau for final
deportation to the East and Terezin.
These evacuations were evidently not part of the final deportation. Entries in
Cohn's diary throw additional light on this:
8th August 1941: "Yesterday again more than one hundred Jews from Breslau
received Orders to transfer the next day to Tormersdorf"
9th August 1941: "Again, yesterday a considerable number of Jews received
evacuation Orders. It does seem now as if the evacuation of Breslau Jews is being
hurried along at a high speed." [It is not clear whether the two entries relate to the
same incident.]
1
news was circulating about the Jews being evacuated from Breslau, and that this was
a lie. Instead, Jews were voluntarily moving to villages. What a hypocrisy! Each one
of them is forced to sign a declaration that he is going to the country voluntarily."
20th August 1941: "An additional list of 120 Jews to be sent to Tormersdorf has been
compiled."
23rd August 1941: "The government ordered the Reichsvereinigung to pay 100,000
Reichsmark for the building of barracks, part of it surely for Tormersdorf. Next
Monday another transport will leave for there."
llth September 1941: "Another transport leaves today for Tormersdorf"

20th September 1941: "Eugen Perle told me in the synagogue that 1,000 morejews
have to leave Breslau with only short-term prior notice."
27th September 1941: "Those who received evacuation Orders are to leave their
apartments by 30th September. The transport will leave on lOth October for
Grüssau. Rumour has it that they were advised to leave with the words 'Den letzten
beißen die Hunde.' Another list of 600 people for transportation has been
compiled . . ."
Documcnts and various rcports make it obvious that many of those evacuated
thought it was their dcstiny. On 13th September 1941 Cohn wrote philosophi-
cally: "[the expulsion is] vcry bad, although one never knows what good will
come out of it". The same day he learned and expressed his shock about the
"Euthanasia" murders.'^^^ It is possible that he was alluding to the fate in störe
for the Jews.
Breslau Jews were assembled at the Storchsynagoge and the Freundehaus before
final deportation to the ghettos, concentration and extermination camps. Gestapo
mcn judged their fitness for transportation by having them walk a few steps and
thcn make a quick turn. Boys and girls from the Community assisted the
dcportecs, handed out meals, fillcd paillasses, carried luggage and generally
hclped out. The dcportces' apartments were closed and sealed. Sometimes they
were emptied the very same evening by people in civilian clothing who arrived
with suitcases, took off the seal, and resealed the apartment when they left.'^^
The first group of one thousand Jews, including essential staff of the Jewish
Hospital, was deported on 25th November 1 941.'^^ Their initial destination was
Riga, but facilities there only became available a few days later after tens of
thousands of the original Jewish inhabitants had been murdered. In the
meantime, the trains deporting thousands ofjews from Breslau, Munich, Berlin,
Frankfurt a. Main and Vienna were sent to Kovno instead, where all the
deportees were murdered at Fort No. 9 outside the city. The Breslau lews from
the first transport were murdered there on 29th November 1941. Some of the
later transports were also sent to the Riga ghetto, after it had been emptied of its
former Jewish inhabitants, as well as to the Lublin region.''^
One of the few survivors recalled that even death was no excuse for deporting
fewer than the prescribed quota ofjews. After the second night at the assembly
Station, eighty out of 1,400 Jews had died while awaiting transportation. They
were replaced by eighty other Jews, who left with the transport on 23rd Februarv
1942.'''
The years 1939 to 1941 were already part of the plans to destroy German Jewry;
but qualitatively they were different from the final phase, when the Jews of
Breslau were deported to ghettos, concentration and extermination camps.

Mag. Maciej Lagiewski
MTiaema Architektury We Wroolaw
Wroolaw, Poland
Sehr geehrter Herr Lagiewski:
Der Oberhurgermeister der Stadt Miinster schickte mir vor einiger Zeit die
deutsche Ausgabe des Kataloges der Ausstellung "Breslauer Juden 1850 - 1945'*»
Als einer der letzten überlebenden dieser Menschengruppe, mochte ich Urnen
und Ihren Mitarbeitern meinen tiefgefühlten Dank aussprechen für diese Arbeit,
Ich fand den Katalog hochinteressant, und habe noch viel davon über meine eigene
Herkunft, gelernt. Ich wollte Sie eigentlich aufsuchen als ich im August 93
in Wroolaw war. Jedoch musste ich meinen Besuch verkurzen, aus Gründen, die ich
nicht voraussehen konnte.. So konnte ich nur einen Teil der Platze besuchen, die
ich eigentlich besuchen wollte.
Das folgende interessiert Sie vielleioht. Ich fand dass die vier Hauser, in
denen ich einmal wohnte , alle nicht mehr vorhanden waren. Jedoch die Gebäude,
der drei Schiilen, die ich besuchte standen noch, einschliesslich des friiberen
"Realgymnasium am Zwinger", wo ich von 1931 - Anfang 1934 war, und welofes
schon damls am einfallen war. Meine Vorschule war die "Gaudigschule" (Stadt.
Volkschule Nr. 70), wo ^ih von 1927 bis 1931 war. Sie ist die Schule auf der
Kleinburgstrasse kurz vor dem Eingang zum Sudpark. Meine Klasse wax, wenn ich
mich richtig erinnere, die erste Klasse, die das neue Gebäude besuchte. Der
Architekt war Wildermann, dessen Tochter Angelica, auch ein Klasenkamcrad von mir
war. Meine letzte Schule, von 1934 bis Anfang 1936 war die"Judischei Volks-
schule am Anger", die nicht im Katalog erwähnt ist , ausser der "Religions schule
Am Anger " neben der "Neuen Synagoge"

Ich wurde ^^ 4» Oktober 19^0 als Hermann Neustadt
geboren. Andrere Adressen, die ich hatte waren, Kirschallee 26/28 (am Wasserturm),
wo fih von etwa 1923 bis 1931 wohnte. Das Haus gehorte Harm Egon SchfiLffer, der
Inhaber von "Band-Schaff er" am Ring - "Goldene Becher Seite". Er war jüdisch.
Was aus ihm und seiner Familie wurde weiss ich nicht, ausser dass sein Sohn Horst,
der ein Freund xn mir war im Kz. Mathaus en umgekommen sein soll. Dajin wohnten wir
Eichendorff Strasse 37 ( Ecke Ki&fursten Strasse. Das Grundstuck war auch Kurfürsten-
Strasse 4o). Wir wohnten dort von 1931 bis 1936. Das^^aus gehorte dem •Hand-
schuh Bessert" Herr Bossert hatte ein Handschuh Geschäft auf der Schweinitzer-
strasse. Er war nicht judisch. Anfang 1936 zogen meine Eltern in das Haus,
Scharnhosrt Strasse 6 oder 8, Ecke Arndtstrasse. Heute steht da ein anderes
Gebäude irit Wonup^en, aber die Nummr ist 6/8 geblieben, loh selbst ging ijL
Mai 1936 auf das ^iuswander er lehrgut Gross Breesen " Kreis Trebnitz, von wo ich
an 15« Dezember 1938 nach Holland auswanderte.
geboren«
Mein Vater, Max Neustadt, wurde am 17. Februar 1878 in Bresjjau geboren, und
meine Mutter Irene Neustadt, geb. Fessler wurde am 25. März m Halle/SaÄleg
Die Eltern meines Vaters waren Herrmann Neustadt (zwei rrj geboren in
Rawitsch (Rawicej, dann Provinz Posen, und seine Frau Bertha Neustadt, geb.
Prankel in Oppeln/OS. Beide wurden im Jahre 18^6 geboren. Bertha Fraiikel gehorte
dem KlsLn Pinkus -Prankel , der Leinenweberei Frankel in Neustadt/OS am. Die Mutter
meiner Mutter kam auch aus Oppeln/OS Sie war Amalie Fessler geb. Unger. Ihr
Gatte , mein Grossvater, Dr. Siegmunc Fessler, der von etwa 1881 bis 1909,
^abiner in Halle/Saale war. Er wurde in Comorn in Ungarn in der Nahe der Grenze
^^Breslau^^^^^^ geboren, dj.. Pessler war ein Schuler des Rabiner Seminars
Mein Grossvater, Herrmann Neustadt, grilndete etwa 1873» 2U sammen mit einem Vetter,
Neumann, die Firma **Neustadt & Neumanti - Strumpffabriken" mit (zu meinen
Lebenzzeiten) Fabriken in W&schelburg und Strehlen, und der Zentrale in ,
dann Breslau, Das Gebäude enthielt , in den Jahren in denen ich in Breslau
lebte , die Ausstellungsräume der "Adler -Werke", :ifi:ankfu3bt/M, eine Auto Firma.
Die Firma "Neustadt & Neumann" wurde von meinem Vater und seinem Bruder, Ernst,
bis Anfang 1939 gefi-Sirt, wenn sie zwangsweise "arisiert" wurde. Meinen Eltern
gelang es Ende Augsut 1941 auszuwandern und sie beide starben als U.S. Burger.
Mein Onkel musste erst mit seiner Frau nach Tomer sdorf/ Schi, ziehen und wurde
spater woandershin deportiert.
Meine Grosseltern Neustadt sind auf dem Friedhof Lohestrasse begrab^en. Am Eingang ±k
dieses Friedhofes waren zu meiner Kindheit eine Reihe von alten Grabsteinei von
anderen Friedhöfen in Schlesien an einer Mauer montiert. Einen von diesen fand
mein Grossvater als Pflasterstein irgendwo ( ich weiss nicht mehr wo) in einem
Ort und veranlaste die Übertragung auf den Friedhof Lohestrasse. Mein Vetter,
oer in London lebt, hat den Friedhof besucht und das Grab unserer Grosseltern.
Er fand den grossen ^Sandstein in Ordnung, aber die Tafeln verloren, einscMeaslich
einer Gedenktafel ^fur unseren Onkel Joseph Neustadt, der 1915 al^ deutscher
Soldat in einem Jagerregiment in Litauen gefallen war. Mein Vetter ist dabei das
Grab zu restaurieren. Es ist nicht sehr weit von dem von Ferndinand LaSalle, das
ich als Junge einmal besuchte. Ausserdem erinnere ich mich, dass es eine
Gedenktafel auf der Aussenseite des Friedhofes gab, um das Grab anzuzeigen.
Ich nehme an, dass diese von den Nazis abmontiert wurde.
Ich erinnere mich gut an die "Paula Ollendorff Hauswirtschaftsschule"
und an das "Beate Guttmann Heim", da wir sehr in der Naie wohnten, und meiie
Mutter dort manchmal tatig war. Das Juiichei Krankenhaus, das auch in der Naiie war,
schien mir bei meinem Besuch im Aug. 93, zumindest von der Höh enz oll ernst ras se
unverändert .
Ich war bei meinem Besuch im Aug. 93 auch sehr interessiert was aus den verschie-
denen Ruder Clubs an der Oder wurde. Mein Vater war einer der Grunder des"Breslauer
Touraß Ruder Clubs e.V. 1909" (spater judischer Tourenruderclub} . Er war für
Jahre im Vorstand und auch im Vorstand± des "Breslauer Regattavereins". I fand dass
nichts von allen diesen Clubs übrig geblieben ist, asser einem halben Gebäude,
das, glaube ich mal die»»Rudergesel J._schft-Breslau e.V.^ war. In diesem
halben Gebäude ist heute (1993) ein Tanzlokal. Die wäs^erw erke am Weidendamm
sehen heute genau so aus, wie ich mich erinnerte. Ich verst!he nicnt, dass diese
und der Wassertumr in Breslau - Sud nicht völlig perdfert wurden wahrend der
Belagerung von Bresiau» f .
Wie Sie warhelüainiiihh besser wissen als ich, ist die alte orthodoxe Synagoge
"Zum Weissen Storch" (genannt kurz " Der Storch")noch vorhanden, aber in sehr
schlechtem Zustande. Soweit ich weites waten da einige Probleme über ufem das
Gebäude eig3^gtlich gehört. Vor einigen Tagen sah ich einen Brief des
Polnischen Botschafters in denüS in dem er mitteilt das dig.polnische
Nationale Regierimg, die Eigentumers chaft an die heutige jusfehe Gemeainde
in Wroclaw gegeben hat.
Ein Freund von mir, Eric Bowes (Früher Erich Bauer, Breslau;, Palm
Isles, 9963 Seacrest Circle , Apt. 202, Boyton Beach, FL 33437 USA (tel:
407- 732 - 1998J ist se^ii an dem Projekt der Restauration dieses gebaiides
inet eres siert und steht mit versciedenen Gruppen deswegen in Verbingung.
Ich muss zugeben , dass obwohl mein Grossvater und 'ftnkel in diesem Gebäude
bejreten, ich es das erste Mal im Aug. 93 gesehen habe. Meine Eltern beteten in
der "Neuen Synagoge". Von der letzteren ist nichts übrig geblieben.
loh will Sie nicht weiter langweilen mit meinen pe rsohnliohen Bemerkungen .
Auf separaten Papier habe ich noch einige persohnliche Bemerkugnen zu verschie-
denen Seiten des Katalogs,
Da Sie off ent sichtlich an dem Schoksal der Juden von Breslau interesiert sind,
erlaube ich mir Ihnen eine Kopie meines Berichtes Sber meine Erinnerungen
an die "Kristallnacht " im November 1938 beizulegen.
Mit meien besten Grussen und Wünschen,
Einige persohnliche Bemer kirnten zu den Seiten des Katalos,
^ermaim Vogelstein war mein Lehrer für Hebraisoh, und ioh sein
• Schdler. Ich habe ihn einmal noch in New York besucht.
Seite 17: Dr. H(
sehr sohl echter
Der zweite Rabjfiner in der Gemeinde war Dr. Sanger Man sprach ihm nicht das Intellecl
vin Dr. Vogelstein zu .*^edoch in seinem Talar , auf c^er Kanzel , war er eine
sehr eindrucksvolle Erscheinung. Wogegen Dr. Vogelstein, ein kleiner Mann war, der
ausserdem das selbe Gebrechen wie Dp. Gobbljps hatte, naml ich einen Klumpfuss.
Seite 19: Dr. Siegmund Hadda operierte mich an Brüchen in 1929 und 1932.
1933 reperierte er meine Ohrmuschel die gespalten war, da ei^ "Klasenkame rad",
ein kleiner Nazi, mich von hinten in das kleine Schwimmbasin im Hallenschwimmbad,
gestossen hatte, und ich mit dem Xopf± auf die Steintreppe fi^- Ich war auch oft
Besucner in seinem supermodernen Haus, Sti:Qfefstrasse 6 ("Verlängerte Akaziealleej,
da ich mit seinem iohn in der Jugendbewe gung war, und wir Freunde waren.
Seite 21: Meiner Meinung nach hiess dieser Verein'*Verband nati onaldeutscher
Juden e.V."
«
Seite 22: Ich stimme mit SS-Oberf uhrer Katzmann nicht uberein. Ich erinnere mich
gendtu, dass unser Transport 812 Leute waren, denn wir wurden mehrmals laut gezahlt.
Ausserdem verstand ich von der Unterhaltung der Wachmannschaften, dass wir der
2^ite Transport von BreslaiJvraren. Vie^lleicht, aber ich glaube nicht, me&t
Katzmann nur Breslau, und ich zahle Leute von der Provinz mit. In jedem Falle
bin ich sicher, dass es mehr als 6oo Verhaftete waren.
Seite 44: Eine judische Schule in der Menzelstrasse ist mir nicht bekannt.
Von »»Verband der Junglinge 14 - 2D und vom "Haus der judischen Jugend"
habeich auch noch nie gebort. Die judische Religionsschuie " Am Anger" war
spater die "Judische Volksschule Am Anger" die icji v#n 1934 bis Anfang 1936
besuchte (Die Schule hatte Aufbauklassen um sie einem Gymnasium gleichzustellen^
Seite 46: Oestrei eher sehe Stiftung ist mir neu, obwohl ich dort in der Gegend
wohnte. "Paul^a Ollendorff Hauswirtschaft schule " und " Beate Gut t mann Heim"
kenne ich gut, da wir um die Ecke woünten, und meine Mutter dort manivnal
tatij war.
Seite 50: An das "Judisches Krankenhaus" erninere icU mich sehr gut, da wir in
der Nahe wohnten, ich WP-nohmal dort Besuche machen musste. Auf meinem Besuch
im Aug. 93 sa:i es mir genau so aus wie ich mich erinnerte. Jedoch habe ich nie
geglaubt, dass es in Krietern war. Krietcrn f urrmiehl f ingd. hinter a©^/-!: gsba.i i.
UiiigifeHLungsrbahfi,i:alsö: sudlich vom Sudpark an. Der, "Rundfunksender Breslau" war in
Krietern. Der Wassertu^r usw. war in Breslau- Sud. Das Postamt Nr. 18, an der
Kaiser Wilhelmstrasse wo Kurasierstrasse und Kirschallee sicWtreffen, war das
Postamt "Bres^u-Sud"».
S
in
Seite 54: Der Sitz des "Judischen Mus'eums" war auf der Grabsc^erstrasse,
dem Gebäude oder neben dem "Judischen Waisenhaus". Von einem" Judischen
Madchentoim" dort habe ich nie etwas gewusst. Es JLst aber mogliich, dass
alle Kinder, die ich im Waisenhaus geshen habe Madchen waren.
Der Direktor des "Jüdischen Waisen hauses " war Julius Ko^Jlzinski, der mit
einer Dora Prankel (cousine meines Vaters; vgjheiratet wjr. Seine
Sohne waren Heinz und Gert ICrlodzinski. Gert p««Sfte*^n^b3*«- Holocaust,
undbein alterer Bruder Heinz, starb vor einigen Jahren als der Reverend Heny
Kennedy in Uiwton Stewart in Schottland.
Seite 72: Siehe obenjin Bezug auf Krietern.
3eite 78: Das Grab von Ferdinand LaSalle war nicht weit Yon dem meiner Grosseltern.
Es war auf ij'riedhof Lohestras^e. Auf der Aussenseite der Itouer war eine
^fel , die anzeigte wo das Grab vonLaSalle war.
Seite 84:Die Freundin von Edith Stein, die mit ihr zusammen in Gottingen
studierte war Rose Blum geb. Guttmann, Studienr^tin an der Augusta Schule ,
und stadtberiihmt . Sie war eine Gross-cousine von mir, obwohl ich sie Tante
nannte, da sie viel alter als ich war. Sie starb i^ Alter von 88 Jahren in
Lbnddn •
Seite 86: Siehe oben was ich von Paula Ollendorff und dem Heim auf der
Grab schner Strasse weiss. Die Vorstandsmitglieder des Jiijschen Frauenbundes,
Ortsgruppe Breslau, Emmy Vogelstein luid Hulda Sanger waren offensichtlich die
Ehefrauen der beiden Kabiner. Hulda Sstnger kannte ich gut.
Seite 98: Das Alterheim auf der Neudorfstrasse kannte ich und im Garten des
Restaurants am Teich im Sudpark war ich oft.
Seite 100: Ich erinnere mich gut an das Denkmal für Ferdinand Cdhn am
Eingang des Sudparks, wo es war bis die Nazis es wegbrachten,
Seite lDl2'#Wie anderwo erwähnt, mein Onkel Joseph Neustadt, der I915 als Soldat
in einem Jägerregiment fiel, war von Beruf Chemiker und ein Assistent von
Haber.
Seite 110: Ich glaube was in dem Katalog als «iathaus»« abgebildet ist, nannte
ich injDQieiner Jugend "iBtadthaus". Rathaus war für mich das Gebäude vor der
Staupsaule, d.h. gegenüber vom Warenhaus Barrasch.
Seite 130 : Warenhaus Gbr. Barrasch kannte ich gut., und meine Eltern hatten mich
mit etwa zwei Jahren dort im Photoatelier photographieren lassen. Das
Bild hing in unerer Wohnung tvx Jahre. Desijalb erinnere icn mich noch.
Seite 136: An Petersdorff erinnere ich mich gut und erTmiftre mich aiioh^ dass als
es verkauft wurde, ich glaube an eine hollandische Jjlrma, wir patriotischen ^^^
Deutschen , nicht mehr dort kauften. Im Warenhaus Bilschowski war ich oft, und habe
dort die erste Rolltreppe meines Lebens gesehen. Diese war auch wohl die erste
in Breslau.
Seite 138 und 14üj, Ich erinnere mich gut an die Firma •'Herz & Ehrlich",
auch an "Band-Schaff er" (anderwo erwahnVf und an Hecht & David.
Seite 142: «»Der Sturmer" anti-semitisches Hetzblatt war nicht nur im
Abonement und bei Zeitungsverkauf ern zu haben. Es war überall, wie
Strassenbahnhalt es teilen auf Brettern aufgeklebt , so dass man es leicht
lesen konnte und nicht überblicken konnte.

so} ien mir bei meinem Besuch Im Aug. 93, zumindest von ä.BT Hohenz oll ernst rasse
unverändert .
loh war bei meinem Besuch im Aug* 93 auch sehr interessiert was aus den verschie-
denen Ruder Clubs an der Oder wurde. Mein Vater war einer der Gründer des «Bre» lauer
Tourne Ruderelubs e.V. 1909« (spater Jüdischer Tourenruderolub). Er war tut
Jahre im Vorstand und auch im Vorstandt des ••Breslauer Reffattavereins". T famd d^a
nichts von allen diesen Clubs übrig geblieben ist, asser einem halben Gebäude,
das, glaube ich mal die^Rudergesel^l^schft-Byeslau e.V.«* war. In diesem
halben Gebäude ist heute (1993) ein Tanzlo^ml, Die Was^ erw^erke am Veidendaam
sehen heute genau so aus, wie loh^mich erinnerte. Ich jersthe nie t, dass diese
und der Vassertumr in Breslau ^ Sud nioht völlig sersfert wurden wah-end der
Belagerung von Bresiaus ,.
Wie Sie warüehkinüAhh besser wissen als ich, ist die alte orthodoxe Synagoge
"Zum Weissen Storch" (genannt kurs " Der Storch"}nooh vorh^nden, aber in sehr
»ohl^echtem Zustande. Sojreit ich weites wa^en da einige Probleme über Vrife« das

Ich muss Äugeben , dass obwohl mein Grossvater und Onkel in diesem Gebäude

"Jews Did Not Serve in Hitler's Army"
by Abraham H. Foxman
II
When a news story is sensationalized,
it begins to take on a life of its own. One
publication carries it, and quickly others
follow. It becomes the topic of private
and public discussion before the ques-
tion is ever raised: was it really that
way?
Such is the case with the story that
Jews served in Hitler's armed forces,
and thus found themselves on the side of
the killers and torturers of their own
people. The story, a thesis of a graduate
Student in the course of work on the his-
tory of the Nazi regime, received wide
play, precisely because it contained such
horrid implications.
The case most frequently cited is that
of the deputy to air force chief Herman
Goering, Air Marshai Milch, who had
"Jewish blood." Wheiihrought to his
attention, Goering reportedly said he
determines who is Jewish and who is
not. True or not, Goering clearly appre-
ciated Milch 's technical and administra-
tive competence and wanted him in the
Job. As for Milch, he never gave any
indication that he feit Jewish. He was,
like many Germans who had a parent,
grandparent or uncle who was Jewish,
and "made no use of their Jewishness," a
typical member of the German military
caste.
The same holds true about others
"with Jewish blood," who considered
themselves Germans, may have gone to
whatever church their non-Jewish parent
took them to or to no church at all, and
never for a moment paid attention to
their Jewish roots. Until Hitler took
power. It was Hitler's ideology and his
regime that made blood the issue and
race the decisive factor in an
individual's personality and destiny.
Only then did those Germans who
"served in Hitler's army," as the story
goes, who were considered Jews, face a
problem. However, once Nazi author-
iiies blessed their presence in the mili-
tary ranks, the problem was solved. For
in terms of their own feeling of identity
and Community they were not Jewish.
Consequently, to accept the premise
and the implications of the story that
recently circulated in the media, is to
also accept Hitler's race theory. It is this
issue that editors and readers may not
have considered when they published or
read a story that is boünd to fill many
Jewish readers with anger, frustration,
or shame.
The play that this insignificant piece
of history has received demonstrates
that people with perfectly good inten-
tions, concemed with preserving the
memory of the Nazi crimes, but living
two generations later, can unwittingly do
damage to that memory. Against the back-
ground of the suffering of the Jews, it
seemed incredible, and therefore news-
worthy, that some people with "Jewish
blood" served in Hitler's forces.
Unfortunately, those who write the
news are not historians. In getting the
story out as it comes to them, they risk
consequences; they can distort and dam-
age the memory of the six million; they
play into the hands of Holocaust revision-
ists and other right-wing extremists who
can now "document" that things could not
have been so bad, if Jews were part of the
Nazi war machine.
So was it really that way? Of course not.
Jews did not serve in Hitler's armed forc-
es — not when we speak of Jews as those
who clearly, gladly and positively identi-
fied themselves as Jews. Such Jews would
never have been accepted by the Nazis,
would never have served of their own free
will, but would — as all such Jews — have
been persecuted, fled Germany and
Europe, or died in the death camps.
This is why this story needs to be taken
not with a grain, but a whole shaker of salt.

Correction
The article "Resurgence, Reestab-
lishment and Renewal" by Susan Stern
which appeared in the last Aufbau (No.
9, April 25, 1997) was sent to us by an
Information agency; no source or date
was attached. Now we have leamed
from the author that the article was
originally published by 'Inter Nationes'
in April 1995. Since then, more than
25,000 Soviet Jews have arrived in Ger-
many and, as the author predicted, the
Jewish Population is undergoing a radi-
cal change.
In one of the upcoming issues, Auf-
bau will print a follow-up story on the
Jews in Germany by Susan Stern.

Mit Schreiben vom 19.09.1994 wurden Sie gebeten, den Restitutionsantrag zu konkretisieren,
da eine Bearbeitung ohne Angabe der Belegenheit bzw. der Hausnummer nicht möglich ist.
Dieser Bitte sind Sie nicht nachgekommen.
Der Antrag auf Restitution war zurückzuweisen.
Das Amt zur Regelung offener Vermögensfragen Mitte-Prenzlauer Berg (AROV I) in Berlin ist
nach § 35 Abs. 2 VermG für die Entscheidung sachlich und örtlich zuständig.
Grundsätzlich ermittelt zwar gemäß § 31 Abs. 1 Satz 1 VermG die Behörde den Sachverhalt
von Amts wegen, der Antragsteller hat hierbei jedoch mitzuwirken.
Die Amtsermittlungspflicht besteht jedoch nur im Rahmen des technisch Möglichen. Unsere
elektronische Datenverarbeitung verfügt nicht über ein Grundstückssuchsystem für die Berliner
Stadtbezirke, das ohne nähere Angaben zur Belegenheit des Grundstückes (Straßenname,
Hausnummer oder vollständige Flurbezeichnung) in der Lage ist, das betreffende Grundstück
ausfindig zu machen.
Deshalb trifft den Antragsteller die im Vermögensgesetz gesetzlich verankerte Mitwirkungs-
pflicht, die über den für jedes VenA^altungsverfahren erforderlichen Informationsaustausch der
Beteiligten hinausgeht.
Insoweit hat der Antragsteller durch Angabe ihm bekannter bzw. von ihm beizubringenden
Informationen bei der Ermittlung der konkreten Belegenheit des Grundstücks mitzuwirken.
Diese Angaben sind im Erbfalle aus dem Nachlaß zu entnehmen. Falls keine Grundbuchbe-
zeichnungen seitens des Antragstellers vorgelegt werden, genügt auch eine eindeutige Be-
schreibung des beantragten Vermögenswertes, aus der für jeden Ortskundigen eindeutig
erkennbar ist, auf welchen Vermögenswert sich der Antrag bezipht. Allgemeine Angaben, die
sich lediglich auf Flurstücksnummern beziehen, genügen nicht diesen Anforderungen.
Auch die im Wege der Amtshilfe von uns eingeschalteten Grundbuchämter und die Abteilungen
Bau- und Wohnungswesen der Bezirksämter von Berlin vermögen nur aufgrund konkreter
Grundstücksbezeichnungen Auskünfte zu erteilen. Die grundsätzlich bestehende Amtsermitt-
lungspflicht der Ämter zur Regelung offener Vermögensfragen wird daher durch die Mitwir-
kungspflicht des Antragstellers begrenzt, indem er ihm zumutbare, notfalls durch eigene Nach-
forschungen zu erlangende Informationen dem Amt übermittelt.
Zur Erfüllung seiner Pflicht kann das Amt dem Antragsteller eine vierwöchige Frist zur Vervoll-
ständigung und Präzisierung seines Antrages stellen. Diese Frist wurde Ihnen mit Schreiben
vom 19.09.1994 gesetzt. Darüber hinaus wurden Sie darauf hingewiesen, daß die Frist verlän-
gert werden kann, wenn Sie durch nicht von Ihnen zu vertretende Gründe an der Einhaltung
dieser Frist gehindert werden.
Unterläßt es der Antragsteller innerhalb dieser Fhst die für ihn günstigen Angaben beizubrin-
gen, sind die Ämter zur Regelung offener Vermögensfragen nicht mehr verpflichtet, weitere
Nachforschungen anzustellen.

Da von Ihnen weder konkrete Angaben zu Ihrem Rückübertragungsanspruch innerhalb der
gesetzten Frist gemacht wurden, noch Hinderungsgründe mitgeteilt wurden, weshalb eine
fristgerechte Äußerung aus von Ihnen nicht zu vertretenden Gründen unmöglich war, ist Ihr
Antrag hinsichtlich des nicht näher bezeichneten Vermögenswertes gemäß § 31 Abs. 1 b Satz

Zustellung dieser Entscheidung schriftlich oder zur Niederschrift beim Amt zur Regelung offe-
ner Vermögensfragen Mitte-Prenzlauer Berg (AROV I), 10179 Berlin, Rungestr. 22, zu erheben.
Der Widerspruch soll begründet werden. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, daß bei schriftlicher
Einlegung des Rechtsmittels die Widerspruchsfrist nur dann gewahrt ist, wenn der Wider-

Der Älteste Friedhof vod Vrociav ^^^^^^^^'f^'^^evi^W^lt^Ki^aten
Einer der letzten Zeugen der Kultur des 19. Jh. in Wroclav (Breslau) ^J^^^d wi<e\xY ,
war/'' UeXyxe.
ist der jüdische Friedhof an der ^leina-Straße.
£s ist erstaunlich, daß von mehreren größeren und kleineren
Friedhöfen Vrociavs gerade jener his in die heutigen Tage erhalten
geblieben ist. £r überdauerte auch die deutschen Verfolgungen*
Seit dem 12* Jh. besiedelten die Juden die Gegend bei Nove Miasto
(Neustadt) in der Olavskie(Ohlauer) Vorstadt . Sie vechselten dann
ihren Vohnsitz und gingen in die Gegend des fürstlichen Schlosses
in die heutige Universytecka-Straße . Im 18. Jh.siedelten sie in
^ einem kleinen Viertel, das zvischen dem heutigen plac Bohaterov Gstta ^ZLfi^wS^^
( (Platz der Ghetto-Helden) , früherer Judenplatz unl der heutigen
^^yiodkovicvStraße lag. Dort ist auch bis heute die Alte Synagoge
Erhalten geblieben. . (6tor^ev\'S^wa^^e)
Verfolgungen der jüdischen Berölkeruag begannen mit dem Regierungs-
antritt von Johann Ton Luxemburg, der aus unerklärlichen Gründen
iffl Jahre 1345 die Liquidierung des ersten jüdischen Friedhofs
in Vrocirav angeordnet hatte
Jener Friedhof befand sich direkt hinter dem Oiavska ßramaiOhiauer Tor) giWi^^^'^^^*
'5^ am Stadtgraben im Umkreis der heutigen Straßen Fodvale(Aa Stadtgraben) (^H+^^ ^i»^^
[a^Z.Krasinski -Straße und J\^SlovacMj:vmee_^ \)ei\d]mß^
Bei der Liquidierung überließ Johann von Luxemburg alle Grabsteine eUei^vi . P^I^IS
dem Stadtrat Ton Vroclav, der die Steine unter anderem zur Ausbesserun
der Stadtmauern Tervendete. Das Gelände selbst vurde den Königsgütern
einverleibt. Die Juden, die nun keinen eigenen Friedhof in Vrociav
hatxen, kämpften 4oo Jahre lang um eine neue Genehinigung'zur Anlage
eines neuen Friedhofs« Die Lage hatte sich im Jahre 1454 durch «inen
Erlaß des Königs Ladislaus Poatumus noch verschärft, der die jüdische
Bevölkerung aus der Stadt ausgewiesen hatte und sie in die Vorstädte
abschob. In dieser Zeit mußten die Beerdigungen in den entfernten
i^A 4t%i ^ A^W ^*AJ \*^J AACA AAA. M.A V / ,
im Posener Land durchgeführt verden.
I» Jahre 176o endlich, zur Zeit des Siebenjährigen Krieges, haben die
Juden die Genehmigung zur Gründung eines eigenen Friedhofs erhalten.
Sie konnten auch ein Krankenhaus bauen und ein Gemeindehaus kaufen.
Das Friedhofsgelände lag hinter dem Svidnicka Brama(Schveidnitzer Tor.
am Landveg nach Strzelin(Strehlen) . Die Umgebung var landschaftlich
schön. An dieser Stelle befinden sich heute die Stadtteile, die
CIa^(^ev|5tr^
durch die Gvarna-und die Dvorcova-Straße begrenzt sind, gegenüber 'B&hK
dem Uauptbahnhof • Dieser Friediiof existierte bis zum ZveiteA Veltkrie
Auf dem Gelände des Friedhofs vurde 176o ein Stein aufgestellt, d^i
nach der Chronik von Menzel folgende Inschrift trugt
''"^^T diese Ruhestatt verletzt, dem vird durch*s Beil ein Schlag
versetzt, man haut durch*s Beil die üand ihm ab, der hier beschädiget
das Grab".
£s iat nicht klar, varum diese ungevöhnliche Varnung vor einer Exekul:
— der Zeit des Propheten Isaias und des Königs Davids auf dem Stein
aus
an einem öffentlichen Wege, hier auf schlesischem Boden, angebracht
vurde. Man kann lediglich vermuten, daß die judische Bevölkerung nach
Jahren der Verfolgungen und Frogrorne in dieser Varnung nie Sicherheit
für die neue Stätte der evigen Hube sah.
Aic Anfang des 19 .Jh. begannen die Koaf essionsgemeinden ihre neuen
Begräbnisstätten im südöstlichen, schvachbebauten Stadtteil m der
^vidnickie Przedmiescie(Schveidnitzcr Vorstadt; zu errichten.

Die entschtidende Mehrheit der Friedhofsbauten entstand in der
zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jh., in der Zeit des in der Architektur
vorherrschenden Eklektizismus, bit Romantik mit ihrem Kult einer
idealisierenden Vergangenheit hat einen einheitlichen* architekto-
nischen Stil ausgebildet und ahate eher die erprobten Kunscstile
der Vergangenheit nach. So finden vir zahlreiche Grabmäier,
die in Hinblick auf ihre Konstruktion und Form an die antike
mittelalterliche, klassische, barocke und klassizistische Kunst
gemahnen. Manche iCapellen und Stelen erinnern direkt an die
antiken Tempel. Die Künstler aus dem 19. Jh. fanden auch ihre Vorbilder
in der altchristlichen, romanischen und gotischen Kunst.
Romanische und gotische Vandportale, spitzbogenartige Stelen,
mit KraDben und Kreuzblumen verziert. Das sind nur einige Beispiele*
d.QT Architektur, die an die mittelalterlichen Stile anknüpron.
Außerdem stehen innerhalb der Mauern Obeliske, Säulen, PruQkhimiBcl .
Sarkophage, Bögen und freistehende Portale, die typisch für fast
alle Kunststile sind. Die jüngsten Grabsteine, die zur Jahrhundert-
wende entstanden sind, wurden im Jugendstil errichtet. Besonders
beliebt waren dabei Schmuckelemente aus Zierguß und Edelmetallen
sowie aus Schmiedeeisen/ Adreßplatten, Gitter, Uaf riedungen, Türen
von Grabkapellen, Laternen, Vasen, ßlumengehänge usw.
Alle diese Elemente, die schöne Beispiele der Gieß-und SchaiedekuAs t
bildeten, sind heute leider nicht mehr vorzufinden.
£s ist lediglich das edle Steingut geblieben, sehr dekorativ vor
allem danl^ der Oberflächenstruktur der glatten bunten Graoit-und
Marmorsteine •
Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten haben im letzten Krieg viel Schaden erlitten.
Die Hitlerfaschisten haben Breslau zur «Festung erklärt*
Der Friedhof, der im Süden ^er Stadt liegt, wurde schwer uwkämpft.
Am 24. Mai 1975 wurde der Friedhof in das Verzeichnis der Sehens-
vürdigkeiten Vroclavs eingetragen (Reg.Nr.369/75 j .
unter dem Rechtsschutz befinden sich alle historischen Grabmal er
und Kapellen samt den alten Bäumen und der Kastanienallee, die von
luart.

Indem man den Friedhof zur Sehenswürdigkeit erklärt, schützt man
kostbare Exemplare von Grabskulpturen und Begleiibauten, die als
europäische Raritäten gelten. Auch der alte Holzbestand, reich an
einheimischen und exotischen Baumarten, ist von großem denäroiogischtfm
Wert. Der Friedhof ist auch die letzte Äuhestätte jener Bürger
Breslaus, die sich für die Stadt besonders verdient gemacht haben.
So finden wir hier die Gräber von Ferdinand Lassalle 1B23-1864,
dem Gründer der deutschen Sozialdemokratie und Führer der ersten
deutschen Arbeiterpartei (Allgemeiner deutscher Arbeitervereiii.^ .
Sein Leichnam wurde aus Genf hierher transportiert.
Auf dem Friedhof liegen auch:
rtemricn tiraetz" 1017-1591, Ueschichtsschreiber , Gründer der bekannten
historischen Schule und sein Schüler, der Frofessor für Geschichte
Markus Brann, Johannes Gottfried Gall ldl2-191o, Astronom au der

>iax Hoszkowski , berühmter Sumatra-und Heu-Guinea-Forscher,
Familie Cohn mit Ferdinand 132ö-1898, Botaniker von Weltruf, der als
erster die Bazillen dem Pflanzenreiche zugeordnet hatte,

Traditionelle Sinnbilder, die die Figur des christlichen Kreuzes
ersetzen, sind bei den Juden der Davidstern und die Manora ein
siebenarmiger Leuchter, Symbole des Tempels zu Jerusalem and des
Judentums schlechthin. --
Die überwiegende Mehrzahl der Grabmäler folgte in der Ausführung
den christlichen Modellen der Sepulkralkunst.
Der ungewöhnliche Charakter des Friedhofs ist dabei als unmittel-
bare Folge der H^gkA^&^^u verstehen.
Es geht um eix#^^f5rmatorische Bewegung, die von den deutschen
Juden ausging und die sich die Assimilation der einst orthodoxen
Juden zum Ziel gesetzt hatte. Im europäischen Breslau des 19. Jh.
propagierte diese Bewegung eine Wiedergeburt der jüdischen Kultur
und des Gesellschaftslebens aufgrund der wissenschaftlichen Ent-
wickla:ig, der Schulreform und der Annäherung an die -einheimischen
Einwohner des Landes. Einen deutlichen Beweis der Assimilation mit
dem deutschen Volke stellen die zweisprachigen Inschriften auf den
jüdischen Grabmälern dar. Die Teilnahme Breslaus im kulturellen
Leben Europas im 19. Jh.beschleunigte eine weitere Entfremdung der
hiesigen jüdischen Bevölkerungsgruppe , in dem sie sich immer mehr
von den Forderungen des orthodoxen Judaismus entfernte.
Die oben angedeuteten Erscheinungen traten mit besonderer Stärke
im ersten Viertel des 19.Jh,zum Vorschein,
1980 begann man auf der Vroclawer Nekropole die sicherungskonser-
vatnrischen Arbeiten, damit Zerstörungen Einhalt geboten yird.
1981 wurde die Außenmauer renoviert und der Baumbestand gesichtet.
1983 hat man den Boden der Alleen wieder befestigt,
1984 wurde dann mit der Renovierung der Gräber der berühmtesten
Familien begonnen. Am 23. August 1984 war eine offizielle Feier zum
Abschluß des ersten Teiles der Renovierung.
Die Arbeiten am Friedhof haben Vroclavcr Konservatoren und wissen-
schaftliche Mitarbeiter des Museums für Architektur in Vroclaw
durchgeführt.
Am 31. August 1984 haben Delegationen der Sozialdemokratischen Partei
Deutschlands, der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Bad Godesberg ua^der
Botschaft der Bundesrepublik Deutschland aus Anlaß des 12o. Todestage
von Ferdinand Lassalle am renovierten Grabe Kränze niedergelegt.
Bei dieser Gelegenheit wurden auch Kränze auf die Gräber von
Max Kayser, ehemaliges Mitglied der deutschen Arbeiterpartei sowie ^
von Heinrich Graetz, Professor für Geschichte, niederglegt. \
Am 11, April 1985 wird zum 16o. Geburtstag von Ferdinand Lassalle j
erneut ein Besuch durch Delegationen aus der Bundesrepublik Deutsch- %
land stattfinden.
Die Renovierungsarbeiten dauern an.
Alle Maßnahmen haben sich zum Ziel gesetzt, den alten jüdischen

Die Geschichte jüdischer Friedhöfe in
Wrcclkw (Breslau)
In der jahrhundertelangen Geschichte jeder größeren alten Stadt
spielen ihre Friedhöfe als Zeugnisse der Vergangenheit und des
menschlichen Seins eine ganz besondere Rolle. Die bis heute erhalte-
nen Friedhöfe wurden in der Mehrzahl um die Wende des 18 719. Jahr-
hunderts auf den weiten Ebenen jenseits der Stadtgrenzen angelegt,
entfernt von den Gotteshäusern und nach dem Vorbild von Park- oder
Gartenanlagen, in denen sich die Grabmäler ins Grün betteten. Im
Breslau des vergangenen Jahrhunderts gab es mehr als ein Dutzend
Begräbnisplätze verschiedener Glaubensgemeinschaften in Form
solcher Landschaftsparks, von denen heute nur noch einige wenige im
Sinne ihrer Bestimmung genutzt werden. Aus jener Vielzahl von Fried-
höfen des 19. Jahrhunderts ist bis heute in Breslau nur einer erhalten
geblieben: der malerische jüdische Friedhof im Stadtteil Krzyki
(Krietem) mit seinen originellen Skulpturen und Grabsteinen, ver-
borgen hinter einer hohen Mauer an der ul. Sl^zna (Lohestraße).
Bevor wir diesen, seit langem nicht mehr genutzten Friedhof betre-
ten - ein natürliches Denkmal des im letzten Krieg zur Vernichtung ver-
urteilten jüdischen Volkes -, widmen wir uns der Geschichte der älte-
sten Ruhestätten der Breslauer Juden .
Im frühen Mittelalter entstanden die jüdischen Gemeinden Ost- und •
Mitteleuropas hauptsächlich an den Handelswegen. Im Handel mit
dem Osten spielten vor allem die Juden Spaniens, Frankreichs und des
Rheinlandes eine große Rolle. Ein bedeutendes Zentrum, das am
Schnittpunkt der Handelswege von West nach Ost und vom Süden zur
Ostsee lag, war Breslau, in dessen Umgebung sich auch eine Reihe
kleinerer jüdischer Gemeinden bildete.
Die Friedhöfe der Juden oder anderer Dissidenten befanden sich
vom Mittelalter bis zum 18. Jahrhundert als einzige außerhalb der
Stadt. Auch der erste jüdische Gottesacker Breslaus lag unmittelbar
hinter dem Ohlauer Tor am Stadtgraben, im Bereich der Straßen: ul.
Romualda Traugutta, Podwale und ul. Zygmunta Krasinskiego
(Klosterstraße, Ohlauer Stadtgraben und Feldstraße). Die wenigen
Grabsteine von dort befinden sich heute in der Nähe des Tors zum
Friedhof an der ul. Sl^zna (Lohestraße). Der mittelalteriiche Friedhof
an der Ohlauer Vorstadt wurde auf Befehl des böhmischen Königs
Johann von Luxemburg am 23. September 1345 aufgelöst. Den Rats-
herren „der guten Stadt Breslau" gestattete er, „sie mögen alle Steine
des jüdischen Gottesackers, über oder unter der Erde, nehmen, aus-
graben, fortschaffen und zum Bau der Mauern verwenden". i) Das
Recht wurde also trotz des den Juden im Dezember 1315 gewährten
Privilegs der Unantastbarkeit des Friedhofs und der Steuerfreiheit
seines Terrains gebrochen. Aus einer erhaltenen Rechnung über die
Transportkosten für jene Grabsteine kann man auf deren große Zahl
schließen. Das erklärt sicherlich auch, daß die Steine nicht nur für die
geplante Instandsetzung der Stadtmauern, sondern auch zum Pflastern
von Straßen, als Fundamente und für den Gebäudebau in Breslau ver-
wendet wurden.
Jahrhunderte später fand man die Grabsteine des ältesten jüdischen
Friedhofs Breslaus in verschiedener Zahl an mehreren Stellen der
Stadt. 2) Die ersten zwei Belege fand man 1716. Drei weitere wurden
1799 im Gewölbe des im Volksmund „Grüne Eiche" genannten Rat-
hausverlieses entdeckt. Sie stammten aus den Jahren zwischen 1242
und 1245. Bedauerlicherweise ist keiner dieser Grabsteine bis heute
erhalten geblieben. Die nächsten Funde wurden 1848 während der
Renovierungsarbeiten in den Kellern des Rathausturms gemacht. Man
fand dort 16 gut erhaltene Grabplatten aus Stein, die ebenfalls aus der
Ohlauer Vorstadt stammten. Der Magistrat der Stadt übergab diese
Zeugnisse der jüdischen Gemeinde, die sie auf ihrem neuen Kirchhof in
der ul. Gwarna (Claassenstraße) aufstellen wollte. Aufgrund eines Miß-
verständnisses zwischen den Stadtbehörden und der jüdischen Begräb-
nisbruderschaft wurden die Platten jedoch zerstört. Die einzigen Doku-
mentationen dieser Relikte sind die Zeichnungen von S. Nissen, die in
dem von Liebermann herausgegebenen „Buch der Judenschaft 1856"
veröffentlicht wurden. Die Inschriften auf jenen 16 Steinen datieren
zwischen 1304 und 1342.^)
Die jüdischen Denkmäler des Mittelalters waren gerade zu Beginn
des Jahrhunderts Gegenstand besonderer Fürsorge der Breslauer
Stadtverwaltung. Vorsorglich ließ sie alle gut erhaltenen Funde in die
Friedhofsmauer an der ul. Sl^zna (Lohestraße) einsetzen.
Der älteste dieser Steine stammt wahrscheinlich aus dem Jahr 1177.
Es ist der Grabstein des Rabbiners Ahron, Sohn des Rabbiners Abra-
ham, der am 5. Cheschwan (Oktober/November) verstarb.'*) Man fand
dieses Grabmal im Fußboden der ul. KieJba^nicza 5 (Herrenstraße).
Doch auch das in der Nachbarschaft gelegene Haus Rynek 6 (Ring)
wurde als Fundort angegeben. Schon im 19. Jahrhundert, in der Samm-
lung des Grafen Hoverdensch, tauchte dieser Stein - allerdings nur in
drei Fragmenten - auf.^) In den folgenden Jahren unterlag er weiterer
Zerstörung. Heute entspricht die Grabplatte nur noch in Ausschnitten
den Beschreibungen, die in Archiven gefunden wurden.
Als ältestes jüdisches Grabdenkmal in Polen wird heute jedoch ein
Stein anerkannt, der Anfang September 1917 bei der Installation eines
Heizungskessels im Nordteil des Breslauer Doms (in der Nähe der
Johannes-Kapelle) entdeckt wurde. Das Grabmal stellte man am
4. August 1203 fertig, und zwar für den „Rabbiner David mit der aller-
Hebsten Stimme, Sohn des Rabbiners Sar Schalom, verstorben am
Montag, dem 25. Tag des Monats Ab im Jahr 4963 der Schöpfung.
Möge seine Seele mit dem Lebensknoten verschlungen sein." Vermut-
lich stand dieser Stein auf dem Grab des Kantors, der in der mittelalter-
lichen Synagoge Breslaus die Gebete sang.^)
Eine weitere Grabplatte am Friedhofstor stellt der 1848 im Rathaus
gefundene Stein mit dem Datum 25. Dezember 1246 dar (nach dem
hebräischen Kalender 15 Tewet 5007). Aus der bis heute erhaltenen
Inschrift geht hervor, daß dieser Stein das Grab der jungen Tochter des
Rabbiners Chaim Ben Levi zierte. Von dem vierten mittelalterlichen
Denkmal, dem Grabstein des Rabbiners Jakob Isaak, Sohn des Rabbi-
ners Chajm, der vermutlich am 13. Mai 1343 beigesetzt wurde,
stammen die am 12. Oktober 1936 gefundenen Fragmente.
Das größte und zugleich jüngste Beispiel aus dem Jahr 1345 ist somit
eines der letzten der Ohlauer Vorstadt, da infolge des denkwürdigen
Befehls Johanns von Luxemburg aus dem gleichen Jahr der jüdische
Friedhof Breslaus dem Erdboden gleichgemacht wurde. Möglicher-
weise kam durch die Hand eben dieses hartherzigen Herrschers am
1. Februar 1345 (28 Schwat 5105) der Rabbiner Schimon ums Leben,
denn ihm war folgende Inschrift gewidmet: „. . .dem ehrlichen, geschun-
denen und zermürbten Rabbiner Schimon, dem Manne reines
Herzens, Sohn des geachteten Rabbiners Isaak, dessen Blut der grau-
same Basilisk vergoß...". Sollte hiermit das symbolische Gleichnis der
legendären Königseidechse mit dem tödlichen Blick gemeint sein? Das
Grabmal wurde 1846 in den Fundamenten des von der mittelalterlichen
Stadt recht entfernt gelegenen alten katholischen Pfarrhauses in
Le^nica (Deutsch-Lissa), im damaligen Kreis ^roda ^l§ska (Neu-
markt), gefunden.
Über diese fünf Relikte hinaus, die heute vor dem alten jüdischen
Friedhof stehen, spürte man anläßlich der mannigfaltigen Renovie-
rungsarbeiten immer wieder neue Grabsteine aus dem Mittelalter auf,
die unmögHch geborgen werden konnten. Zum Beispiel ruhen bis
heute die Mittelsäulen des Fürstensaals im Breslauer Rathaus auf jüdi-
sehen Grabplatten. Im Südost-Teil des T\irms der Elisabeth-Kirche
konnte man einst hebräische Inschriften lesen. Auch entdeckte man in
dieser Kirche bei Restaurierungsarbeiten 1984 unter einer der Säulen
ein bisher unbekanntes jüdisches Grabdenkmal. All diese Funde sind
die einzigen Zeugnisse des Mittelalters. Sie gehören zu den ältesten
unwiderlegbaren Beweisen für die jüdische Ansiedlung auf polnischem
Boden.
Die Breslauer Juden, seit 1345 ohne eigenen Friedhof, bestatteten
ihre Toten über 400 Jahre lang im entfernten Brzeg Dolny (Dyhem-
furth), in Krotoszyn (Krotoschin), Glbgöw (Glogau), Rawicz
(Rawitsch), Leszno (Lissa) oder BiaKa Prudnicka (Zülz). Erst 1760, im
Siebenjährigen Krieg, erhält die Breslauer Gemeinde die Genehmi-
gung für einen eigenen Gottesacker. Angelegt wurde er in der Schweid-
nitzer Vorstadt, zwischen der ul. Gwama und ul. Dworcowa (Claassen-
straße und der Bahnhofstraße), gegenüber dem Hauptbahnhof. Eine
steinerne Inschrift an diesem seit dem Mittelalter zweiten jüdischen
Friedhof mahnte: „Wer diese Ruhestätte antastet, wird vom Beil
getroffen, es hackt ihm die Hand ab, wenn er hier ein Grab schändet". 8)
Nach Jahren der Pogrome und Verfolgungen sah die jüdische Bevölke-
rung in dieser Warnung die Sicherheit für ihre neue Stätte des ewigen
Friedens. Sie bestand bis zum letzten Krieg, obwohl sie bereits im
November 1856 auf Veranlassung der Oberschlesischen Eisenbahn, die
für ein Direktionsgebäude das benachbarte Grundstück kaufte,
geschlossen wurde. 9) Der letzte, bis heute noch genutzte jüdische Fried-
hof in Breslau wurde 1900 an der ul. Lotnicza (Frankfurter Straße) in
Kozanöw (Kosel) eröffnet.
Der alte jüdische Friedhof an der ul. Sl^zna
(Lohestraße)
Zu Beginn der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts planten die
meisten Breslauer Pfarrgemeinden ihre neuen Kirchhöfe in den gering
besiedelten Gebieten im Südosten der Seh weidnitzer Vorstadt, entlang
der ul. ^l^zna (Lohestraße). Als erste kaufte die jüdische Gemeinde ein
Grundstück für ihre neuen Grabstätten. Bereits am 17. November 1856
fand dort, im ehemaligen Dorf Gabitz, das erste Begräbnis statt (im
Bereich der ul. Sl^zna/Lohestraße, ul. Sztabowa/ Menzelstraße und ul.
Kamienna/Steinstraße, in der heutigen Siedlung Glinianki im Stadtteü
Krzyki).io) Dieses Gebiet lag 1868 innerhalb der Stadtgrenzen und
gehörte später zum Komplex von 13 umliegenden Friedhöfen. Sein
heutiger Umriß bildete sich um die Jahrhundertwende heraus. Noch
zweimal wurden unerhebliche Gebietserweiterungen vorgenommen.
Nach 1900 wurde die Westmauer um einige Meter verschoben und in
den zwanziger Jahren erweiterte man das Gelände im Norden um ein
Terrain, das heute bereits nicht mehr zum Friedhof gehört.
Als Leichenhalle und Haus des Friedhofsinspektors dienten in den
ersten 50 Jahren zwei bescheidene Pavillons unmittelbar hinter dem
Tor zu beiden Seiten der Hauptallee (später Nr. 19 und 20). Im Jahre
1911 wurden sie abgerissen, und vor dem Eingangstor, in der Verlänge-
rung der Hauptallee, errichtete man eine Kapelle und westlich davon
ein zweistöckiges Wohn- und Dienstgebäude für die Friedhofsverwal-
tung. Mitte der siebziger Jahre wurden beide - bereits stark zerstört -
abgetragen. Die auf einem gleichschenkligen Kreuz errichtete Kapelle
war ein Ziegelbau mit einer Kuppel. Die ergreifende traditionelle
Bestattungszeremonie führte die Trauergemeinde aus der Kapelle
durch ein neugotisches Tor mit zwei Seitenausgängen auf den Friedhof.
Die Säulen dieses monumentalen Eingangs waren durch drei Spitz-
bögen, sogenannte Eselsrücken, miteinander verbunden. Zu Anfang
unseres Jahrhunderts veranlaßten die entlang der Nordmauer gelege-
nen neuen Grabstätten den Umbau des Eingangstors, wodurch die
Eingänge und der mittlere Bogen völlig verschwanden. 1984 stellten
Restauratoren einen mit einem leichten Gewölbe überdachten Ein-
gang und ein verziertes Tor wieder her. Das Gitter des Haupttores
wurde ausgetauscht und um zwei siebenarmige Leuchter (sogenannte
Menoren) bereichert i^). Die beiden Torsockel erhielten 1986 zwei
riesige schmiedeeiserne Lampen. i^)
Durch die Haupipforte betreten wir die Welt exotisch anmutender
Grabmäler inmitten üppigen Grüns, ein ganz anderes Fluidum als das
der spontanen und unregelmäßigen Anlagen der alten jüdischen Fried-
höfe in Zentral- und Ostpolen. Der Friedhof in WrocKaw ist ein 4,6 ha
großes, durch ein Netz von Alleen parzelliertes Rechteck. Eine dieser
Alleen - wesentlich breiter als die übrigen - bildet die Fortsetzung der
Kastanienallee vor dem Friedhofstor. Parallel zur Hauptachse ver-
laufen zwei Mauern, an denen sich zu beiden Seiten wie an der Fried-
hofsmauer selbst die Familiengräber aneinanderreihen. Dieses Netz
von Alleen und Wegen umschließt zwanzig viereckige Grabfelder
unterschiedlicher Größe. Zahlreiche Grabstätten wurden um die halbe
Wegbreite vergrößert, erstmalig im Ersten Weltkrieg, in wesentlich
größerem Ausmaß dann in den dreißiger Jahren unter dem Druck der
nazistischen Verwaltung. In diesen Jahren ging die Zahl der Bestattun-
gen auf beiden Friedhöfen (Lohestraße und Frankfurter Straße) etwas
zurück. 13) Zwischen 1940 und 1942 wurden dort immer weniger Juden
bestattet; das letzte Begräbnis fand am 12. August 1942 statt (Selma
Kretschmer, Grab Nr. 19). Im Jahre 1942 wurde der Friedhof endgühig
geschlossen. In der Zeit der Belagerung der Stadt, die von den Nazis
zur „Festung" erklärt wurde, litt er erheblich. Ende Februar 1945
tobten dort wechselvolle erbitterte Kämpfe. i^)
In den Nachkriegsjahren verfiel der Friedhof an der ul. ^l^zna
(Lohestraße) immer mehr - trotz der allen Friedhöfen gesetzlich
garantierten Unantastbarkeit und trotz der Aufsicht, die die jüdische
Gemeinde Breslaus bis 1968 ausübte. Erst am 24. Mai 1975 wurde er in
die Liste der Baudenkmäler der Stadt aufgenommen (Register
Nr. 369/75). Doch die dreißig Jahre (1945-1975) mangelnder Fürsorge
und Aufsicht hinterließen ein trauriges Bild der Verwüstung und Ver-
nichtung.
1978-1980 wurden die ersten Pläne zur Restauration des Friedhofs
und für ein geschlossenes Lapidarium alter sepulkraler Kunst erarbei-
tet. Die Ausführung wurde 1981 begonnen. Die durchlöcherte Fried-
hofsmauer wurde ausgebessert und der wildwuchernde Baum- und
Pflanzenbestand, der die Steinplatten sprengte, gelichtet. Bis Ende
1983 war dann auch schon der größte Teil der Wegpflasterung abgetra-
gen, um nun das Oberflächenniveau auszugleichen und die Entwässe-
rungsschicht zu vervollständigen. Ein Jahr darauf begann man mit der
Restaurierung der Gräber verdienter Persönlichkeiten und mit der
Rekonstruktion des Tores. Anhand erhalten gebhebener Fotografien,
Steinmetzzeichnungen und bibliografischer Quellen konnten die Grab-
stätten von Ferdinand Lassalle i^), Heinrich Graetz und Max Kayser
rekonstruiert und restauriert werden. Die Hauptallee erhielt wieder
ihre einstige Gestalt aus dem 19. Jahrhundert und darüber hinaus ein
Kopfsteinpflaster aus Granit. Am 23. August 1984 war die erste Etappe
der Restauration dieses alten Friedhofs abgeschlossen. Ein Jahr später
gingen die Konservierungsarbeiten weiter: zerbrochene Grabsteine
und Skulpturen wurden zusammengesetzt, in ihrer Konstruktion ver-
stärkt und imprägniert gegen schädliche Umwelteinflüsse, gegen
Moos, Efeu und andere wuchernde Pflanzen. Die Friedhofsmauer im
Westen wurde aufgestockt, im Norden getrocknet und vom Pilzbefall
befreit. Die Konstruktion der direkt an der Mauer befindlichen Grab-
mäler wurde gestützt und verstärkt. Die jahrelangen Konservierungsar-
beiten haben zahlreiche Werke der kleinen Architektur von außeror-
dentlicher kunstgeschichtlicher Bedeutung vor dem weiteren Verfall
bewahren können. Auch eine erhebliche Anzahl Bäume und Sträucher
- heute so selten auf Breslauer Stadtgebiet - konnten gerettet werden.
8
Zu ihrer Bewässerung wurden drei Brunnen und zehn Hydranten ange-
legt. In Aussicht steht noch der Anschluß an das Städtische Trinkwas-
sernetz.
Neben der Wiederherstellung der Beleuchtung des Haupttores, die
ja bereits bestand, wurde für das gesamte Gelände ein Beleuchtungs-
system aus schmiedeeisernen Laternen nach Mustern des 19. Jahrhun-
derts entworfen.
Die Konservierung und Restauration wird demnächst abgeschlossen
sein, das heißt bis zur Eröffnung des alten Friedhofs als Museum der se-
pulkralen Architektur, das harmonisch in eine gepflegte Parkanlage
eingefügt sein wird.
Die jüdische Grabkunst
Der alte jüdische Friedhof an der Lohestraße ist heute in WrocKaw
das einzige herausragende Original eines Ensembles von Grabskulptur
und kleiner Architektur, die man in Bauten (Kapellen, Säulenhallen,
Baldachine, Portale usw.) und Denkmäler (Platten, Stelen, Obeliske,
Säulen, Steinpodeste, Sarkophage und anderes) gliedern kann.
Form und Gestaltung von Architektur und Bildhauerkunst der ein-
zelnen Grabstätten und der Friedhofsmauer unterlagen im Laufe der
Zeit erheblichen Wandlungen - von den traditionellen, dicht gestellten
Grabsteinen, die so typisch sind für die alten jüdischen Friedhöfe, bis
hin zu kühnen, von rehgiösen Maximen weit entfernten Formen
lung der damaligen jüdischen Gemeinde in Breslau wider. Die
Ursachen liegen zum einen in der Assimilation der Juden, die zu-
gunsten von Fortschritt und Zeitgeist ihre alten Riten veränderten, zum
anderen im ständig wachsenden Reichtum der Gemeindemitglieder. So
kann eine differenzierte Anlayse dieser Grabstätten besonders treffend
die dynamische Entwicklung der Juden in Breslau in der zweiten Hälfte
des 19. Jahrhunderts veranschaulichen. i'^)
Im Vergleich mit anderen jüdischen Friedhöfen im damaligen
Europa - vor allem im Osten - zeichnet sich in Breslau neben vielen
Gemeinsamkeiten auch eine Reihe deutlicher Unterschiede ab, die un-
ter anderem auf die Haskala^^) zurückzuführen sind, auf die Kultur-
und Reformbewegung, die in Deutschland ihren Anfang nahm und de-
ren Ziel es war, das Judentum im Sinne der Assimilation, also des Ver-
zichts auf traditionelle Gepflogenheiten, zu verändern. Im stark euro-
päisch geprägten Breslau des 19. Jahrhunderts propagierte die Haskala
die Renaissance der jüdischen Gemeinschaft durch kulturelle Ent-
faltung, Schulreform und Annäherung an das deutsche Volk. Ausdruck
dieses Prozesses war die Einführung der deutschen Sprache neben der
hebräischen in der Liturgie. Das wiederum spiegelte sich in den Grab-
inschriften wider. Von nun an findet man neben den Grabsteinen mit
hebräischer Inschrift auch solche mit dem Beginn „Hier ruht...", die in
zunehmendem Maße die Abkürzung P.N. (Po Nitman/Po Nikbar) für
das hebräische „Hier ist begraben" verdrängt. Oft ist das einzig
Gemeinsame der Abschluß jedes Epitaphs mit fünf hebräischen Buch-
staben: TNCB (für: Tchi Nafscho Zemah Bizror Hachajim = Seine/
ihre Seele sei dem Lebensbunde einverleibt). Ein solcher „Bund"
wurde auf den älteren Grabinschriften zumeist in einer Arabeske oder
einem Geflecht plastisch hervorgehoben.^^)
Die überwiegende Mehrheit der Grabbauten entstand in der zweiten
Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts, als die Mode des Zurückgreifens auf histo-
rische Stilrichtungen in allgemeine Stillosigkeit mündete. Auch die
Romantik mit ihrem Vergangenheitskult vermittelte der Architektur
keinen einheitlichen Stil. Exemplarisch dafür sind die unterschiedlich-
sten Entlehnungen aus der Architektur vergangener Epochen. Wir
finden Grabmäler, die in Form und Gestaltung an die Antike erinnern,
an das Mittelalter, die Renaissance, den Barock und den Klassizismus.
In unzähligen Varianten wiederholen sich antike Säulen, die über Jahr-
hunderte den eigentlichen Kern der griechischen „Architekturphilo-
sophie" verkörperten. Die Säule, die in der Antike vor allem eine
Strukturfunktion hatte und ein Bauteil war, wurde mit der Zeit immer
mehr zu einem dekorativen Motiv, ja sogar zu einer Denkmalform
selbst. 20) In unserem Fall sind Säulen nicht nur Bestandteile der Fried-
hofsarchitektur, die irgendeine Last zu tragen hatten, wir finden sie
auch als frei stehende, einzelne Grabsäulen, die in ihrer schlanken, auf-
strebenden Profilierung die Bejahung des Lebens, ja des ewigen
Lebens selbst symbolisieren. 21) Die Grabsäule des 19. Jahrhunderts
wurde zumeist nach den bekannten Regeln der Baukunst gefertigt
(Vignola, Palladio), oft auch aus demselben Stein (zum Beispiel auscar-
rarischem Marmor). Mangriff auf die bedeutendsten Vorbilder zurück,
wie etwa auf die römischen Gedenksäulen Trajans und Mark Aureis.
Diese Säulen ragten durch ein Podest noch höher -ein in der römischen
Architektur sehr beliebtes Gestaltungselement -, das der Säule nicht
nur als Grundlage diente, sondern sie auch schlanker un3 zierlicher wir-
ken ließ. 22) Ein typisches Element der Grabplastik war die gebrochene
Säule, die die Melancholie und die Tragik des jäh beendeten Menschen-
10
lebens ausdrückte. Ein gleichartiges Symbol liegt auf diesem Friedhof
der Skulptur eines geknickten Baumstammes zugrunde.
Manche Stelen, Portale und Kapellen sind originalgetreue Nach-
bildungen antiker Grabmäler und Tempel - nur das Datum und das
Fehlen von Figurenreliefs zeugen von einer anderen Zeit und Kultur.
Auch auf romanische und gotische Merkmale griff man zurück: Portale
mit Rund- und Spitzbögen, Wandbaldachine, Stelen, mit Kriech-
blumen (Arkanthus) und Baumläufern reich verziert, filigran gemei-
ßelte Mauern und Balustraden mit üppigem Maßwerk, große, in die
Grabmauem eingeschnittene Fensteröffnungen. Die in der Grabkunst
des 19. Jahrhunderts so modische Romantik hielt sich nicht nur an
Romanik und Gotik, sondern auch an andere mittelalterliche Stile, wie
die der byzantischen Architektur und des Islam. Auf dem Friedhof gibt
es einige hochinteressante Beispiele für die Nachahmung der mauri-
schen Baukunst aus der Alhambra in Granada und ihren typischen huf-
eisenförmigen, wie von Spitzen umwobenen Bogen. 23)
Auch die Neuzeit fand Eingang in die Grabkunst des 19. Jahr-
hunderts. Charakteristisch sind die Giebeldächer auf Halbsäulen und
Pilastem, die Gesimse, die geometrische oder Pflanzenornamentik auf
den Fassungen der Grabsteine, charakteristisch auch die in Mausoleen
seltener verwendeten Kassettendecken und Kuppeln. Das sind nur
einige Beispiele von architektonischen Details historisierender „Neu"-
Stüe, die wie ein Überblick über die Geschichte der Architektur an-
muten.
einander verschiedenartigster, oft widersprüchlicher ästhetischer Stil-
richtungen und Strömungen charakteristisch. Die Grabmäler präsen-
tieren im Zusammenwirken von Architektur, Bildhauerei und Stein-
metzhandwerk geradezu eine Kulturchronik dieser Epoche. Die jüng-
sten Belege um die Jahrhundertwende sind vom Jugendstil und weiter-
hin von der Moderne geprägt. Der Jugendstil, ein junger, ganz eigen-
williger Zufluß zur Bildenden Kunst, hat sich mit besonderer Verve
dem asymmetrischen, welligen Dekor mit unruhigem Linienrhythmus
verschrieben. Wir finden ihn auf dem Friedhof in Stein, als Edelmetall-
guß oder auch handgeschmiedet. Von Hand getrieben wurde das Metall
vor allem für Namenstafeln, Gitter und Umzäunungen, für Türen und
Grabkapellen, zur Gestaltung von Laternen, Blumengirlanden, Ketten
und Pflanzenreliefs, wie auch von Grablampen und Fackeln verwandt.
Leider sind die meisten dieser herrlichen Zeugnisse der Eisenguß- und
Schmiedekunst hier nicht mehr erhalten; es überdauerte lediglich das
11
edle Steinmaterial, das aber allein schon durch seine glatten, farbigen
Marmor- und Granitflächen außerordentlich dekorativ wirkt. Doch
gerade auf diesen Steinplatten überraschen hier und da Jugendstil-
motive: stilisierte Pflanzen, die aus der unmittelbaren Umgebung des
Friedhofs auf diese übergegangen sind, darunter Ranken mit zarten,
biegsamen Stengeln, Efeu und wilder Wein, die Ackerwinde, Farne,
Kastanienblätter, aber auch Blumen - Schwertlilien, Sonnenblumen,
Veilchen, Mohn und Maiglöckchen. 24) Es gab Pflanzenprofile, die von
den Künstlern besonders bevorzugt wurden, weniger weil sie modern
waren, sondern weil sie die Endlichkeit, das Vergängliche versinnbild-
lichten und Poesie ausstrahlten. Eines dieser beliebten Jugendstil-
motive war der Baum, dessen Äste, weitverzweigt und ausladend,
schwer an der Last seiner Früchte oder Blüten zu tragen hatten, und
dessen Wurzeln sich knorrig verschlungen über das Erdreich breiteten.
Grabinschriften aus dem 20. Jahrhundert weisen die fließenden,
weichen Züge auf, wie sie typisch waren für den Buchschmuck des
Jugendstils und seiner Exlibris.
Die sich ab 1910 entwickelnde Moderne zeichnete sich durch funktio-
nale Architektur und Formgebung und durch den Verzicht auf
Schmuckelemente aus. Die Komposition reiner geometrischer
Formen, die diese Schöpfungen beherrschte, bedeutete in der Grab-
malkunst jedoch nicht den Verzicht auf bewährte Motive vergangener
Epochen, besonders der Renaissance, des Barock und des Klassizis-
rr^iio rif^nf^rf^U füllt an Hpn mr»Hprni<sti<:rhpn rrrahmälern Hie Sicblirht-
heit der möbelartigen Placierung der Bauglieder auf, die nicht immer
von gutem Geschmack zeugt, eher von dem Anspruch 'Ich will was für
mein Geld!'.
Die jüdische Eigenart der Grabmäler ist vor allem von der rechtecki-
gen, stehenden Steinplatte - zumeist Sandstein - bestimmt, gekrönt
von einem halbkreisförmigen oder dreieckigen Aufsatz aus Zierziegeln
(Akroterium) mit vereinfachten Ranken-, Blätter- und Palmenrehefs,
vorwiegend ein Stilgemisch aus antiken und mittelalterlichen Element
ten. Hervorstechend ist auch die unmittelbare religiöse Sinnbeziehung,
die Schlichtheit des ganz persönlichen Dekors, das sich in ganzen Grab-
reihen serienartig wiederholt.
Die aschkenasischen Juden^^) verzichteten bei ihren Grabdenk-
mälern bis auf wenige Ausnahmen auf die Darstellung des Menschen,
ganz nach dem Gebot: „Du sollst dir kein Bildnis noch irgendein
Gleichnis machen von allem, was im Himmel und auf Erden". 26) So
12
gestalten die ReUefs vornehmUch Tiere, Pflanzen und Gegenstände des
Kunsthandwerks.
Symbole, die sich unmittelbar auf das Alte Testament, den Talmud
oder andere religiöse Schriften berufen, sollen nun in ihrer Bedeutung
beschrieben werden:
Betende Hände - die Priester (hebräisch: Kohen), Nachkommen des
Hohepriesters Aaron;
Krug und Schale - die Leviten (hebräisch: Lewim), Hilfspriester, Nach-
kommen des Stammes Levi;
Die Krone -die Gläubigkeit, Kenntnis derThora und anderer religiöser
Schriften;
Das Buch - die Rabbiner, die Schriftgelehrten des Talmud und der
Thora;
Der Leuchter (vom ein- bis siebenarmigen Leuchter) - die Frau;
Der Hirsch (jiddisch: Hersch, hebräisch: Cwi oder Naphtali) - Zeichen
des Stammes Naphtah;
Der Löwe jiddisch: Lejb, hebräisch: Arie) - Symbol des Stammes
Juda.
Die beiden Tiere, die nicht nur zu den Symbolen des Breslauer Fried-
hofs gehören, beziehen sich auf den Namen des Verstorbenen, wobei
Tiermotive eine universelle Bedeutung haben. So sind Vögel eine Alle-
gorie der Seele. Und die Seele der Gerechten sitzt als Vogel auf dem
Thron des Herrn, sein Lob zu singen. Der Adler ist Symbol der fürsorg-
lichen Liebe des Herrn, die Taube, das biblische Friedenssymbol,
bedeutet hier eheliche Liebe und Eintracht. Die eingerollte Schlange,
die sich in den Schwanz beißt, ist der Chaosdrachen Leviathan aus der
Mythologie und symbolisiert hier die Ewigkeit und messianische
Zeiten. Ein Schmetterling auf zwei Grabsteinen bedeutet die Wande-
rung der Seele und ihre Verwandlung in ein höheres Wesen. Die Pflan-
zenwelt ist am häufigsten als gebrochene Baumstämme oder Blumen
dargestellt, die einen tragischen Tod oder allgemein das Dahinscheiden
meinen (der Lebensbaum ist im Hebräischen auch die Thorarolle). Die
zahlreichen Baumarten symbolisieren die messianische Hoffnung, die
Palme den Stamm Juda, Fülle und nationale Erlösung, Oliven- und Gra-
natbäume tragen Früchte des Heiligen Landes, die geopfert werden.
Ein Motiv, das die meisten Grabmäler und vor allem Familiengräber
ziert, ist der Davidstern (hebräisch: Magen David, deutsch: Davids
Schild), neben den Menoren das wichtigste Symbol des Judentums. 27)
Doch treten auch weltliche Symbole auf. Sie berichten zumeist vom
Beruf des Verstorbenen. Vom Arzt erzählt der Äskulapstab, vom
13
Apotheker der Mörser mit dem Stößel, vom Bergbauingenieur der
Hammer, vom Musiker die Lyra ...
Auf einem Grabstein ist sogar das Relief eines Breslauer Bankhauses
zu sehen.28) Das nichtjüdische Stundenglas, Zeichen der Vergänglich-
keit, ist ein bevorzugtes Symbol der ältesten Grabsteine des Friedhofs.
All diese Symbole kann man in WrocKaw auf den Gräbern der
zumeist aschkenasischen Juden finden, obwohl sie auch auf Sarko-
phagen sephardischer Juden vorkamen. 2^) Die gesamte Grabsymbolik
ist typisch für die sepulkrale Kunst des 19. Jahrhunderts. Hingegen
zeichnen sich die jüngeren Werke auf dem alten Friedhof durch eine
universellere Kunstauffassung aus, die bereits keinen unmittelbaren
Bezug mehr zu einzelnen ethnischen Gruppen, zum religiösen Be-
kenntnis oder Zeremoniell aufweisen, wie das auf den alten Begräbnis-
stätten des Ostens üblich war.
Der vermögende jüdische Bürger griff für seine letzte Heimstatt zu
kostenbaren und teuren Materialien, um durch die Wahl ungewöhn-
licher Mittel und ausgefallener Formen zur Elite Preußens gezählt zu
werden. Um die Jahrhundertwende verlor der Friedhof rasch sein
Gesicht. Es begannen Erzeugnisse aus den großen mechanischen Stein-
metzwerkstätten zu dominieren, die in nichts mehr an die Traditionen
jüdischer Grabmalkunst erinnerten. Die ersten „Möbelstücke" halten
Einzug - Ungetüme, die den schlechten Geschmack des Stifters bele-
gen, trotz aller Redlichkeit, mit der sie ausgeführt wurden. Die meisten
Grabmäler und Kapellen wurden von Steinmetzen und Bildhauern der
zahlreichen Breslauer Werkstätten, selten von Architekten, ange-
fenigt.^^) Doch sind hier auch viele schiesische und weiter entlegene
Firmen vertreten. ^O
Zahlreiche Arbeiten sind signiert. Sie entstanden nach der Muster-
kollektion der Steinmetzfirma oder in Werkstätten, die bereit waren,
auf die individuellen Vorstellungen des Kunden einzugehen und
Wiederholungen zu vermeiden. Vor allem zeugen die Grabkapellen
vom Geschmack und den finanziellen Möglichkeiten des Auftrag-
gebers, der in die Entwürfe nach eigenem Gutdünken eingriff. Gestal-
tungsideen holte man sich auch aus den Ausstellungen zur Popularisie-
rung der Grabkunst (Stettin 1911, Breslau 1913). 32) Die hohe Überein-
stimmung jüdischer Gräber in Stuttgart, Frankfurt am Main und
Breslau zeugt davon.
Die Vielseitigkeit der Baustoffe gibt einen Überblick über die Stein-
brüche ganz Europas. Die Steinimporte aus allen Richtungen sind ein
weiterer Beweis für den Reichtum der hiesigen Juden. Marmor aus der
Toskana (zum Beispiel der schneeweiße aus Carrara), Granit aus Skan-
14
dinavien (schwarzer aus Schweden und roter Granit aus Finnland),
oder der bläulich schimmernde Labradorit aus Kiew. Doch vor allem
war Schlesien selbst Quelle des schönsten Marmors, der dem italieni-
schen in nichts nachstand. Er kam aus DrogosKaw (Gr. Kunzendorf)
und Stronie !§1. (Seitenberg) in der Nähe von Nysa (Neisse) und
Bystrzyca Klbdzka (Habelschwerdt); die meisten Granitsteine
stammen aus der Gegend von Kudowa, Strzelin (Strehlen), Strzegom
(Striegau) und Szklarska Por^ba (Schreiberhau). Granitartiges
Gestein gab es in Z^bkowice ^l^skie (Frankenstein), Pükwa Görna
(Gnadenfrei) und Zagörze. Die Hunderte einfacher Grabsteine wur-
den bevorzugt aus Sandstein in der Nähe von Wambierzyce (Alben-
dorf) im Kotlina Klbdzka (Glatzer Kessel) hergestellt. Cremefarbiger
Sandstein kam aus Radköw (Wünschelburg), roter aus SKipiec
(Schlegel) und aus der Gegend von BolesKawiec (Bunzlau), gelber aus
Zerkowice und Radkowice (Haag). Seltener wählte man verschiedene
Gneisarten aus den Göry Sowie (Eulengebirge), Porphyr aus Bolköw
(Bolkenhain) und Travertin aus Thüringen, da diese äußerst dekora-
tiven Steine nur für Zierbelege und Epitaph-Tafeln genutzt wurden.
Heute stellt der alte Friedhof eine ungewöhnliche Sammlung edlen
Gesteins aus dem Europa des 19. Jahrhunderts dar.
Das Pantheon der Breslauer Juden
Der alte Friedhof in Breslau hat nicht geringe historische Bedeutung.
Hier ruhen - heute oft vergessen - herausragende Persönlichkleiten,
die sich um Breslau, Schlesien und Europa verdient gemacht haben.
Ein Spaziergang entlang der Gräber bedeutender Menschen aus
Wissenschaft, Kultur und Politik kann eindringlich ein Stück
Geschichte dieser Stadt veranschaulichen. Da die alten Friedhofs-
bücher und ein Großteil der Grabinschriften nicht mehr erhalten sind,
konnte die Identität mancher Juden, die hier ihre letzte Ruhestatt
fanden, auf andere Weise festgestellt werden, zum Beispiel anhand der
Traueranzeigen in der Presse. Begraben wurden hier unter anderem
Ferdinand Lassalle (1825-1864), der Begründer und Führer der ersten
Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands^^); Heinrich Graetz (1817-1891), Be-
gründer der berühmten historischen Schule; Leopold Auerbach
(1828-1897), weltberühmter Arzt; Ferdinand Julius Cohn (1828-1898),
bedeutender Botaniker; Friederike Kempner (1836-1904), schiesische
Schriftstellerin und Publizistin; Clara Sachs (1862-1921) bekannte
Malerin und viele andere mehr. Hier finden sich auch die Gräber ver-
dienter Pädagogen und Organisatoren des jüdischen Bildungswesens,
die mit dem Jüdisch-Theologischen Seminar verbunden waren, das von
15
dem großen Wohltäter Jonas FraenckeP"*) begründet wurde. Zu den
Dozenten gehörten Abraham Geiger (1810-1874), Manuel Joel (1826-
1890), Jakob Guttman (1881-1919), Ferdinand Rosenthal (1887-1921),
der bereits genannte Heinrich Graetz, Marcus Brann (1849-1920) und
andere. Einige von ihnen waren auch Professoren der Breslauer Uni-
versität, so Heinrich Graetz, I. Heinemann und J. Freudenthal. Das Se-
minar ging aus der Fraenckelschen Stiftung hervor, zu deren Betreuern
die ebenfalls hier bestatteten bedeutenden Kuratoren Löbel Milch
(1798-1864), Hugo Milch (1836-1909) und Joseph Prinz (1791-1865) ge-
hörten.
Die große Bedeutung Breslaus als Wirtschaftsmetropole im 19. Jahr-
hundert ist auch auf die Juden der Stadt zurückzuführen, die hier viele
Banken und Fabriken besaßen. Grabmäler und Mausoleen der zeitge-
nössischen Großindustriellen und Bankiers sind auf dem alten Friedhof
keine Seltenheit. Zu den vermögendsten jüdischen Familien Breslaus
gehörten Alexander, Bielschowsky, Breslauer, Caro, Friedländer,
Heimann, Kaufmann, Kolker, Marck, Milch, Oschinsky, Pringsheim,
Rawack, Schottländer, Wertheim und andere^^). Auf den gewaltigen
Monumenten reden solche Namen zugleich von einstigen Institutionen
nicht nur des Breslauer Bankwesens und der Industrie, sondern auch
öffentlicher, gemeinnütziger Stiftungen. Stipendien, Sammlungen,
testamentarische Hinterlassenschaften und wohltätige Gründungen bil-
deten ein hochentwickeltes caritatives System, das damals auch eine
wichtige Quelle der Selbstfinanzierung der jüdischen Gemeinde war.
Jeder größere Friedhof- so auch der hier besprochene - beherbergte
auch Ausländer. Neben Gräbern mit hebräischen und deutschen
Inschriften finden wir auch Epitaphien in polnischer, russischer und
englischer Sprache. ^^) Der multinationale Charakter auch dieser Be-
stattungsstätte vermittelt eine deutliche Vorstellung von der jüdischen
Diaspora (hebräisch: Galut). Manch polnischer Name macht den
Eindruck, als liege hier ein Wanderer in der Fremde begraben. Die
polnische Inschrift von 1885 auf dem Grab von PaweKMuszkat, eines
Warschauer Kaufmanns, überrascht ebenso wie die Gräber polnischer
Juden, die - so die deutsche Inschrift - aus „Russisch-Polen", dem Ost-
teil Polens stammten. Namen wie Czernejewska, Czapski, Kaliski,
Markowicz, Rawicz, Sieradzki, SKomowska, Tarnowski, Warszawski,
Wieruszowski, ZKotnicki, geben mit ihrem Klang und ihrer Orthogra-
phie die Himmelsrichtung an, aus der die Juden nach Breslau kamen.
An erster Stelle stehen die Namen derer, die einen lebhaften Handel
mit den Gebieten des damals nicht mehr existierenden Polen trieben.
Ehen wurden geschlossen zwischen Breslauer Familien und solchen aus
16
Warschau, Lodz, Posen, Krakau und anderen Städten. Das Talmud-
gebot, daß die Bestattung sofort nach dem Tod, spätestens am nächsten
Tag zu erfolgen habe, erklärt, daß hier Juden aus Hamburg, Danzig,
Lübeck oder Bonn, aus dem marokkanischen Tanger, aus Boston oder
Warschau begraben sind.^^) So befindet sich hier das Grab des War-
schauers Heinrich Toeplitz (1822-1891), der sich in Breslau als Handels-
leiter der Eisenbahn Süd-West aufhielt. Unter den Grabinschriften gibt
es Namen, die in mehrsprachigen Handelsanzeigen der Presse ganz
Europas wiederkehren. So liest man in Anzeigen der „Breslauer
Zeitung" von 1840 Namen wie Moritz Sachs (Inhaber eines großen Mo-
dehauses, Ring 32), C. Fuchs (Leinen- und Wäschegeschäft, Ring 26,
Hoflieferant der Majestäten von Österreich-Ungarn und Rumänien),
Adolf Sachs (Pariser Neuheiten, Ohlauer Straße 5/6), die Brüder
Littauer (Stoffe, Ring 20), Schlesinger (Wäsche und Leinen, Ring 8)
oder auch David Immerwahr, dessen berühmtes Modeatelier, ähnlich
wie das von M. Sachs, Treffpunkt vieler Polen war.^^) In Anzeigen
boten diese Firmen polnische Bedienung an, die oft von polnischen
Juden geleistet wurde.
Auf den meisten der schätzungsweise 12000 Gräber fehlen jegliche
Inschriften. Was man entziffern kann, sind vor allem deutsche und
hebräisch-jüdische Schriftzüge mit fremd und hart klingenden Namen
und zum Teil seltsamen Titeln, die in den Amtsstuben erdacht wurden.
Da ist zum Beispiel der „Kgl. Oberbriefträger", der „Kgl. Lotterie
Collecteur", der „Kgl. Polizei Stadt Physikus", der „Kgl. Rechtsberater

„Kgl. Sanitätsrat" und der „Kgl. Niederländ. Ostind. Oberstabsarzt
a.D.". Das populärste Wort vor dem Namen ist „Rentier", was besagt,
daß der Betreffende von den Zinsen aus Wertpapieren, Obligationen
und vom Geldverleih lebte. So geben uns die Grabinschriften vielfäl-
tige Auskunft über vergangene Zeiten, über Schicksal und Taten der
Verstorbenen, von denen die Hinterbliebenen so ausführlich und ge-
nau wie möglich berichten wollten. Doch mag so manche lobredneri-
sche Version auch übertriebene Akzente gesetzt haben.
Dank des großen Engagements der Restauratoren zur Rettung des
Friedhofs in WrocKaw, dieses Denkmals jüdischer Kultur, gelingt es viel-
leicht, die in Stein erstarrte Welt vergessener Schicksale voller Arbeit,
Leiden und Glauben zu neuem Leben zu erwecken und einen Ort der
Erbauung und der Besinnung im Gedenken an ein Volk zu schaffen, das
im Bewußtsein oft untergeht, obwohl es in so bedeutender Weise teilhat
an der Geschichte unseres Daseins.

Getta (Roßmarkt); besuchte das Breslauer Magdalenen-Gymnasium,
dann die Handelsschule in Leipzig; nach dem Abitur (1843) begann er
das Philosophiestudium an der Breslauer Universität. Nach einem Jahr
ging er für zwei Semester nach Berlin, kehrte 1845 nach Breslau zurück
und setzte hier sein Studium fort, nahm 1848 an der Revolution teil und
unterhielt regen Kontakt zu Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels und Wilhelm
Wolff ; ab 1862 begann er, eigene politische Konzepte umzusetzen und

gemeinen Deutschen Arbeiterverem", dem er vorstand; er wurde in

Anmerkungen
') Obwohl die Legende behauptet, der jüdische Friedhof sei wegen einer erfolglosen Augen-
behandlung des Königs Johann durch den Juden Abraham (der dafür im Stadtgraben ertränkt
wurde) aufgelöst worden, war dies sicherlich ein Entschluß im Zusammenhang mit den Kreuz-
zügen und den Ereignissen, die den Judenpogromen in Europa vorausgingen. In Schlesien
kann von einer Judenverfolgung erst 1349 die Rede sein, als man die Juden der systematischen
Vergiftung der Brunnen bezichtigte, die die große Epidemie des Schwarzen Todes, der Pest,
hergerufen haben sollte.

dafür entschied, auf die Rückseite des Grabsteins; dann aber in der Sprache des Volkes, in dem

gezwungen wurden, sich in der Öffentlichkeit mit dem Davidstern zu kennzeichnen, begann
\ihre Aussiedlung und Deportation auch aus Schlesien. Etwa 700 Breslauer Juden kamen in das
Lager „Zoar" in Tormersdorf bei Rothenburg (Oberlausitz) und 2960 Personen nach
Theresienstadt in Nordböhmen. Die Befreiung des Lagers im Frühjahr 1945 erlebten nur noch

heißt es: „Im Turm an der Sudetenstraße befand sich der Divisionsbeobachtungsstand. Unsere
Divisionen waren in Richtung Lohestraße vorgedrungen und hatten bereits einen Teil des
Friedhofs zwischen Lohestraße, Menzelstraße und Neudorfstraße eingenommen. Wir hatten
ein großes Backsteingebäude an der Menzelstraße 100 neben dem Friedhof besetzt. Dort, in
unmittelbarer Nähe der vorderen Linie lag der Regimentsstab, etwa 50 Mann . Am 26. Februar
begannen die Deutschen mit einem Gegenangriff von der Lohestraße her. Wir waren um-
zingelt. Ich war zu diesem Zeitpunkt im Regimentsstab. Wir befanden uns im 2. Stock. Mit
Maschinengewehren versuchten wir den Feind aufzuhalten. Vor der Übermacht der Deutschen
zogen sich die auf dem Friedhofsgelände kämpfenden Kompanien zurück. Die Lage wurde
immer schwieriger."

\ 19743 Juden, das sind 4,6% der Bevölkerung. Bis zum Beginn der dreißiger Jahre wuchs dann

'*) Haskala - hebräisch „Verstand", dann besonders „Aufklärung"; Juda Jeiteles prägte
diesen Terminus für die Verbreitung der modernen Kultur unter den Juden von 1750-1880. Die
Haskala propagierte die kulturelle und gesellschaftliche Erneuerung des Judentums durch
Wissenschaft, Philosophie, Schulreform und Annäherung an die Kultur der Länder, in denen
sie lebten. Sie unterstützte die Emanzipation, trug zur Entwicklung der jüdischen Literatur
und Presse bei und begründete die Assimilationsbewegung. (Kalendarz ^ydowski 1985-1986,
S. 16.) Bekannte Vertreter der Haskala in Deutschland waren Moses Mendelssohn (1729-
1786), David Friedländer (1756-1834) und der Breslauer Abraham Geiger (1810-1874). Die
Konferenz von 1846 in Breslau setzte der Reformbewegung Grenzen. W. T^loch, Judaizm -

die Kuppeln, Wölbungen, selbst Bögen mit üppigem Stalaktitenschmuck (Nachbildungen von
Tropfsteinformen) bekleidet, in dem figürliche Darstellungen so gut wie ausgeschlossen blei-
ben. Auffallend ist die Einbeziehung von handwerklichen Techniken, wie der Stickerei oder
der Goldschmiedekunst in die Architektur, die die Wände zu wahren Draperien machten.

29) Die sephardischen Juden (hebräisch: sefardim, vom biblischen Sdfärad, in dem man
später Spanien sah) wurden 1492 aus Spanien und Portugal vertrieben. Sie ließen sich in
Holland, Südeuropa und im Nahen Osten nieder. Ihre Sprache war das Ladinische (rätoroma-
nische Mundart). Heute leben sie in Israel und Südamerika (Kalendarz ^ydowski 1985-1986,
S. 21, und W lyioch, S. 137, vgl. Anm. 18). Typisch für ihre Grabmäler sind liegende Steintum-
ben, die an einer Seite mit einem aufrechten Grabstein oder einem „Kissen" in Gestalt eines
eingerollten Ballens abgeschlossen waren. Wunderbare Schöpfungen dieser Art sind auch in
Krakau erhalten geblieben.

und Felix Henry (Familiengrab Nicolai). Felix Henry nahm übrigens auch den Umbau der

33) Die Gestalt des ältesten Grabmals der Familie Lassalle überliefert eine Fotografie aus
dem Jahre 1874, die am 10. Todestag Ferdinands von Sozialdemokraten gemacht wurde. Der
auf dem Stein verzeichnete Name Lassal wurde von Ferdinand nach dessen Parisreisc (1845-
1846) gemäß der französischen Schreibweise in Lassalle geändert, wahrscheinlich nach dem
Namen des Generals A. La Salle (1775-1809) und des Seefahrers und Entdeckers R. R. C. de
La Salle (1643-1687). Von dem alten Grabbau ist lediglich das Podest erhalten geblieben, das
der Mutter, Rosalie Lassal, geb. Herzfeld, gehörte, und das Marmormedaillon mit einem
Relief des Kopfes von F. Lassalle. An die Stelle des im letzten Krieg zerstörten Grabmals legte

Joseph Jonas Fraenckel und (väterlicherseits) des Berliner Oberrabbiners David Fraenckel.
Die Breslauer Handelsfirma Fraenckel unterhielt Geschäftsbeziehungen weit über die Gren-
zen Schlesiens und Preußens hinaus, vor allem in Polen und Rußland. Der vorausschauende
und findige J. Fraenckel wurde von Friedrich Wilhelm IV. für seine wirtschaftlichen, sozialen
und kulturellen Leistungen zum Königlichen Kommerzienrat ernannt. In jenem Jahr stiftete er
die ersten 85000 Taler für den Bau eines Spitals und einer Herberge , den Grundstock der soge-
nannten Fraenckelschen Stiftung. Es folgten ein Waisenhaus, ein Haus für verarmte jüdische
Familien, eine Armenkasse und eine Bibliothek, die später zur jüdischen Gemeindebibliothek
wurde. Zusammen mit A. Geiger rief er das Jüdisch-Theologische Seminar ins Leben, eine
höhere, unabhängige Lehranstalt für Rabbiner. Fraenckel förderte auch das Handwerk und
baute im Rahmen seiner Sriftung billige und gesunde Wohnungen für 350 arme Familien ver-
schiedenen Glaubens. Er war Mitbegründer des „Vereins zur Erziehung der Kinder hilfloser
Proletarier" und - mit A. Geiger - Vorstandsmitglied des Vereins zur Verbesserung der Lage
\der Weber und Spinner. In der Nähe des Hauptbahnhofs trug ein Platz am alten jüdischen
I Friedhof, auf dem er begraben liegt, seinen Namen (1933 in Fontaneplatz, nach dem Krieg in
) pl. Konstytucji umbenannt). 1903 wurde das Fraenckel-Spital an der Antonienstraße (ul. An-
/ toniego) durch das neue Jüdische Krankenhaus an der Hohenzollernstraße 96 (ul. Sudecka) er-
setzt.

Newark, New York, Milwaukee und innerhalb Europas aus Berlin, Prag, Dresden, Genf,
ILööi, Bromberg (Bydgoszcz). Später war es fast ausnahmslos die Asche assimilierter Juden,
die die im Judaismus noch unbekannte Feuerbestattung bejahten,

Faleriski z.B. schrieb über das Geschäft von M. Sachs (1869). Jözef Korzeniowski, der sich
1855 in Breslau aufhielt, läßt den zweiten Akt seiner Komödie „Reisen" im Geschäft von D.
Immerwahr spielen.

Breslauer Juden 1850 - 1945
11. Juni bis H.Juli 1991

Geöffnet: Montag - Mittwoch und Freitag 9-16 Uhr
Donnerstag 9 - 20 Uhr, Sonntag 14-18 Uhr
Eintritt frei
Die schlesische Odermetropoloe Breslau besaß eine der bedeutendsten jüdi-
schen Gemeinden Deutschlands. Anfang der 1930er Jahre war die Breslauer
Jüdische Gemeinde die zweitgrößte im Deutschen Reich.
Aus ihr entstammen so hervorragende Gelehrte wie die Naturwissenschaftler
und Nobelpreisträger Fritz Haber und Max Born, aber auch der Historiker
Hemrich Graetz oder Ferdinand Lassalle, Gründer der ersten deutschen Ar-
beiterpartei und "Stammvater der SPD", Künstler wie Eugen Spiro und Sieg-
fried Laboschin, der Dirigent Otto Klemperer und Literaten wie der Kritiker
Alfred Kerr oder der Schriftsteller hmil Ludwig. Auch die von der Katholi-
schen Kirche seliggesprochene Edith Stein gehörte zu ihnen.
Breslau war neben Berlin das lebendigste wissenschaftliche Zentrum des
Judentums, nicht nur in Deutschland. Sein Jüdisch-Theologisches Seminar
(1854 - 1939) strahlte nach ganz Mitteleuropa aus und wurde als Ausbildungs-
stätte für Rabbiner und Seminarlehrer zum Vorbild zahlreicher späterer
Gründungen in Europa und Amerika. Hier studierte unter anderen auch Leo
Baeck 1891 - 1894.
Zur Ausstellung ist ein ausführlicher, bebildeter Katalog ersch
lenen.

Sie wurde erstellt von einer Arbeitsgruppe des Breslauer Architektur-
Museums unter Leitung von Mag. Maciej tagiewski, dem die denkmalpflege-
rische Betreuung des alten Jüdischen Fnedhotes m Breslau an der Lohestraße
zu danken ist und der seit kurzem zum Direktor des heutigen Breslauer Stadt-
museums ernannt wurde.
Das Ludwig Petry-Institut für ostdeutsche Landes- und Volksforschung in
Mainz unter Leitung seines Wiss. Direktors Prof. Dr. Josef Joachim Menzel
holte die Ausstellung in die Bundesrepublik Deutschland, wo sie nur in die-
sem Jahr zu sehen sein wird. Nach den Städten Mainz, Wiesbaden und Stutt-
gan werden im norddeutschen Raum nur die Städte Hannover und Münster
Stationen dieser Ausstellung sein, bevor sie dann im kommenden Jahr nach
Jerusalem gehen wird.

Thc nanic of ihc author was Alexander Borisovich
Lakicr ( i.S'2r)-187t;}. and niindfiil olwlial my falber had
told nie I calicd ihe review Travels with my uncle." A
gcntlcnian with an aristocratic Grcek nanic look cxccp-
tion: I was told th.at the distinguishcd Russian travclcr
had mariicrl inio his family, and was of Frcnrh origin.
Accordin,; to a l>iographical dictionary of thc Russian
nobiliiy, Alexander Lakicr's grandfathcr had bccn a

Alexander had a :other namcd Wilhelm, and what
self-respecting F. iiman would give his son a Tcu-

travelcr's fathcr. Finthermorc, my family hailed from
the inimediate vicinity of Carlsruhc. ' **^'' ** ; :'
Owing to the rescarches of Alexander Lakier'sÄmer-
• ican editors I knew that Alexander's fiUher had indeed
,,been a doctor, the head of the qiiarantine Station in
, Taganrog, on the Sca of A/.ov. This city was a backwater
. by any Standard, but in the ycar 1827 Czar Alexander I
traveled in Southern Russia, feil ill, and dicd in Tagan-

bccanie one of tlir most disputed documents in Russian
history. According to widcsprcad belicf die czar had not
dicd at all but simply disappcared to spend the rest of
his days as a hcrmit in thc Urals. -
I knew some odier facis about Alexander Lakier. His
mothcr's name was Schauhiss, a scion of the Baltic Ger-
man nobility He had bccn a very proniising young
man, ccjually intercaicd in the law, history, and liiera-
turc. His first wife was the daughter of P.A.' Plctncv. thc
rector of St. Petersburg luiiversiiy and one of^hc cen-
tral intellectual figures of his time, fricnd of Pushkin,
Gogol, and many others, cditor of the leading literary
magazine of the day. Alexander later became a member
of the State committec initiating the liberation of the
scrfs. But at 28. tragcdy Struck: bis wife dicd in child-
birrh. Alexander, gricf stricken, sei out on a .scrics of
long journcys, first lo America, then to Europe, North
Africa, and the Near Fast, also visitingjcrusalcm.
II ihis infoiination was intcrcsting. but it did noi
teil nie whcihcr F;ikicr had becn an ancestor of
niine. Indic 1 9S()sI did some researchon thc his-
tory ofnivlanuly. Buigcnealogicalstudiesbyfor-
cign visitors were not cncouraged in Brezhnev's Russia, or

an Alexander l.akicr ivnaissance in Moscow. He had been

a Standard work. In i^OO iiwas republished in 100,000
copies. Thc cdilororil le book, Dr. Sobolcva, hadaccess to
all thc iilcs I had lookcd for in vain. Thcre was a longisli
biographicalc>sav,.i( fordingio which Lakicr, whilepolit-

Sehr geehrter Herr Newton,
von einer fremden Person aus Deutschland Post zu bekommen,
kann immer suspekt sein. Deshalb möchte ich Ihnen gleich
den Grund dieses Briefes nennen .
Ich bin auf der Suche nach den Spuren der Vergangenheit im
Leben meines Vaters und seiner Familie.
Im Jahr 1942 in Breslau als 4. Kind von Georg und Maria NEUSTADT
zur Welt gekommen, sind meine Chancen heute dafür leider gering.
Mein Vater war Jude, meine Mutter Christin. Georg Neustadt
starb 1947 an den Folgen des KZ und Aufenthalt in Rußland.
Seine Familie wurde getötet oder emigrierte.
Herr Ernst Cramer der ebenso wie mein Vater im November 1938
in Buchenwald inhaftiert war, nannte mir Ihre Adresse für
meine Anfrage.
Kannten Sie meinen Vater oder seine Familiär
Meine Großeltern hießen Ludwig Neustadt und Berta N. geb.: Beer,
sie kamen aus Herrnstadt und wohnten bis zur Deportation in
Breslau .
Anliegend sende ich zwei Bilder-Kopien um so vielleicht eine
mögliche Erinnerung zu erleichtern.
Ich bitte Sie um Ihr Verständnis und würde mich über eine
Antwort sehr freuen.

Eine Gedenkmünze der Vettern von Wahlstatt
Wi«.t. .jj
Polen und Deutsche erinnern in Liegnitz anein historisches Ereignis
i3^^'
Es war ein wahrhaft historischer Au-
genblick, als der deutsche und der polni-
sche Postminister am 9. April 1991 in
Liegnitz eine gemeinsame Briefmarke der
Öffentlichkeit übergaben. Es ist die erste
motivgleiche Briefmarke in der langen
Geschichte der beiden Völker und erinnert
an eine blutige Schlacht vor 750 Jahren, in
der sich schon einmal eine deutsch-polni-
sche Zusammenarbeit für Europa bewährt
hat. Schulter an Schulter kämpften damals
auf dem später „Wahlstatt'* genannten
Schlachtfeld vor den Toren von Liegnitz
Polen und Deutsche gegen einen gemein-
samen Feind. Es war das Heer der Mongo-
len, das sich nicht nur die Eroberung Po-
lens und Schlesiens, sondern ganz Europas
zum Ziel gesetzt hatte. Das schlesische
Heer, das Herzog Herinrich II., der später
„der Fromme" genannt wurde, in aller Eile
zusammengestellt hatte, erlitt am 9. April
1241 eine Niederlage. Auch der Herzog
fiel, dücii dei Fcluu dieliie nacli Siidcri ab
und vereinigte sich mit dem Hauptheer in
Uncarn.
Bei Polen und Deutschen blieb dieser
Tag über die Jahrhunderte lebendig, doch
Legenden haben allmählich die geschicht-
licher. Tatsachen über\*''.'chert Leider
führte dies all zu oft auf beiden Seiten zu
einseitiger, zeitbezogener Deutung. Erst in
unseren Tagen bricht sich endlich, wenn
auch mühsam, die historische Wahrheit
Bahn: Nicht Polen stritten hier für das
tung Kulturwerk Schlesien oder die Bun-
desgruppe Liegnitz, waren es auch Vertre-
ter der Vereinigungen des Schlesischen
Adels und eben jener sechs „Vetternfami-
lien".
Die Tage in Liegnitz begannen mit der
offiziellen Begrüßung durch den Vize-
wojwoden. Nach einer Führung über da^
.historische Schlachtfeld zelebrierte der
[Abt von Ahdechs, Odilo Lechner OSB, für
die deutschen Teilnehmer eine Messe in
der Klosterkirche von Wahlstatt. Die tiefe
Symbolik, die dieser Feier zugrunde lag,
wird klar, wenn m;m weiß, daß die einstige
Burg Andechs am Ammersee, Stammsitz
,der mächtigen Grafen von Andechs-Me-
^ran, die Geburtsstätte der Heüigen Hedwig
ist. Als junges Mädchen schon dem
Tlironfolger Heinrich im fernen Schlesien
vermählt, wurde sie die Mutter Heinrichs
II. Dort, wo sich heute die herrliche, von
Kilian I. Dientzenhofer erbaute und von
CosRias Damiaa .\sam ausgemalte Klo--
sterkü-che erhebt, fand Hedwig wenige
Tage nach der Schlacht den entkleideten
und enthaupteten Leichnam ihres Sohnes.
Das Benediktinerkloster Wahlstatt ist ihre
/persönliche Gründung. .,
Am R April wnrHe Ha«; Museum der
Schlacht in der ehemaligen evangelischen
Dorfkirche nach monatelanger Restau-
rierung feierlich wieder eröffnet. Anwe-
send waren der polnische Kultusminister,
_der mongolische Botschafter und der
lAbendland und nicht Deutsche allein, son- Jjdeutsche C^enefalkonsul in Breslau. Graf
dern beide gememsam.
Wahlstatt und Liegnitz sind heute von
Polen bewohnt, die deutschen Schlesier
sind 1945 geflohen oder wurden später
vertrieben. Liecnitz heißt seitdem Lesni-
ca. So war es, im Gegensatz zur Sieben-
hundert-Jahrfeier 1941 im deutschen
Schlesien, nunmehr Aufgabe der polni-
schen Behörden, den 750. Jahrestag wür-
dig zu begehen. Schon frühzeitig haben die
polnischen Organisatoren die ersten Ver-
bindungen zu kulturell-historischen Ver-
einigungen der heimatvertriebenen
Schlesier hergestellt, wobei auf deutscher
Seite sechs Familien . des schlesischen
j Adels, deren Bund als „Vettern von Wahl-
' statt" auf jene Schlacht zurückgeht, die
Initiative ergriffen.
Anfang April fuhr eine ansehnliche Zahl
deutscher Teilnehmer nach Liegnitz. Vier-
zig von ihnen waren offizielle Gäste der
,,\Vojwodschaft Legnica", des Regie-
rungspräsidenten. Neben Nercinigungen,
die noch vor drei Jahren, von Warschau aus
uesehcn, das Kainsmal des .,Revanchis-
mus" auf der Stirn trugen, so etwa die Stif-
Rothkirch, Nachkomme der Wahlstatt-
kämpfer und Leiter der deutschen Delega-
tion, überreichte dem Museum eine in
Deutschland von der „Vettern von Wahl-
statt" geprägte, silberne Gedenkmünze.
In der Klosterkirche, deren Außenre-
staurierung erst wenige Tage zuvor abge-
schlossen werden konnte, erlebte danach
[das „Oratorium von Liegnitz" des polni-
schem Komponisten Jozef Swider durch
die Schlesische Philharmonie seine Ur-
aufführung. Das Werk ergriff in seiner fast
theatralischen Wucht auch alle die, die
moderner Musik fernstehen.
Am 9. April begann im Liegnitzer Kup-
fermuseum eine dreitägige, internationale
wissenschaftliche Tagung über die neue-
sten Forschungsergebnisse zur „Schlacht
von Wahlstatt". Unter den 26 Referenten
waren auch sechs deutsche Wissenschaft-
ler. In ausführliciier Form sind ihre dort
gehaltenen Vorträge enthalten in der Fest-
schrifr^.'Wahlstatt 1241", die soeben von
der Stiftung Kulturwerk Sclilesien in
Würzburg herausgebracht wurde. Die
nicht unmittelbar an der Tagun? beteilig
ten Reiseteilnehmer hatten Gelegenheit zu '
historisch-landeskundlichen . Exkursio-
nen, so zu 4en Friedenskirchen in Jayer
und Schweidnitz, zum Kloster Grüssaü.
und nach Breslau. Weitere Veranstaltun- ?•
gen füllten die Tage bis zum ll,::^ril, .
wobei besonders ein „Mysterium Heinrich
der Fromme" erwähnt sei. In der nächtli-
chen Peter-Paul-Kirche führte das „Dra- -
matische Theater Liegnitz" mit sparsamen
Mitteln in' großer Eindringlichkeit die Er-
eignisse von 1241 in der Form des mittel-
alterlichen Mysterienspiels auf Es ver-
zichtete bewußt auf alle reißerischen Ef-
fekte und ließ die historischen Gestalten
zwischen der Orgelempore und einer
schlichten Bühne im Altarraum agieren.
Gerade an diesem Abend zeigte sich, wie
die heutige polnische Bevölkerung Nie-
derschlesiens, obwohl erst seit 1945 dort
ansässig, sich mit den Ereignissen von
1241 identifiziert, nicht anders als die
deutschen Schlesier, ehe sie vor 46 Jahren
vertrieben wurden. Es gibt nur wenige
.Schlachten in der Geschichte, die sich über
,die Jahrhunderte so lebendig im BewuOi-
l^'sein der Menschen erhalten haben wie ge-
rade die Schlacht von Wahlstatt.
Der Leichnam Herzog Heinrichs v;urde
damals in die von ihm gestiftete Kirche
von St.Jacob-St.Vinzenz überführt und
dort bestattet. Diese Kirche wurde in den
Kämpfen um die „Festung Breslau" im
Frühjahr 1945 schwer beschädigt und erst
zum Jubiläum 1991 konnte der Wieder-
aufbau beendet werden. Der Brelauer Erz-
bischof Kardinal Gulbinowicz zelebrierte
dort am 13. April eine hl. Messe. Zwei
Vertreter der deutschen Familien, deren
Vorfahren bei Wahlstatt fielen und deren
Wappenschilde die Wände der Kirche
schmücken, nahmen teil. Bei dem vor-
hergehenden Festakt im Remter des Bres-
lauer Rathauses, „in seiner Vaterstadt",
wie er sagte, überbrachte Wolfram Frei-
herr von Strachwitz die Grüße des schle-
sischen Adels. Danach erhielten er und der
Berichterstatter aus der Hand^Breslauer
Wojwoden je eine Gedenkmedaille, die
anläßlich des Jahrestages von Wahlstatt
geprägt wurde. Vieles von dem, was hier
berichtet wird, klingt wie ein Märchen.
Und doch war es Wirklichkeit im Frühling
1991, der mit Blüten von Weißdorn, For-
sythien und ersten Kirschen in jenen Tagen
das schlesische Land überzog, währcntl
auf den Höhen des Riesengebirges noch
weite Schneetlächen leuchteten. Es war
eine Wirklichkeit, von der noch vor drei
Jahren niemand zu träumen wagte.

Kleine Bteslauer Bild-Geschichte
Da sitzen wir nun vorm »Breslauer der Neuen-Welt-Gasse paßt der kahle
Kreisblatt«, März- Ausgabe, Seite 9, und ' Neubau (etwa 1960) leider wie die Faust
gucken uns unter den Kanther Nachrich- 1 aufs Auge."}
ten das Foto an: »Im heutigen Breslau:
Blick zur Gartenstraße«. Moment mal, erst
'ne stärkere Lampe, es ist ein bissei dunkel
geworden, das BUd - nee, kenn' ich nicht,
aber - der Vordergrund, der kommt mir
bekannt vor, das Eckhaus, ist das nicht . . .?
Nur Geduld, ich sag's ihnen.
Von der Gartenstraße keine Spur, das
war eine entschuldbare Verwechslung, hat
sich doch im hier dargestellten Teil der
Stadt viel Tiefgreifendes verändert. Wir
stehen auf dem Gebiet der alten Ohlen, die
die Innenstadt westlich, südlich und östlich
umflossen - noch im vorigen Jahrhundert.
Dann wurden sie trockengelegt; die
schmalen Straßen, die darüber entstanden,
behielten aber die Bachnamen. Es bÜeb
das Gebiet der Gassen und Ohlen - bis
1945, als die Polen nach den verheeren-
den Zerstörungen der Festungskämpfe
Jahre später alte deutsche Entwürfe und
ri^viiungcn der frühen 30er Jahre aus den
Archiven hervorkramten und feststellten:
Wir brauchen nichts mehr zu planen - es
ist alles schon vorgedacht worden. Nur ein
kleiner, aber glücklicher Unterschied bei
all der Misere prpah sich für uns heute
nach Breslau fahrende Besucher: Wir fin-
den noch viel alte Substanz wieder, denn
trotz Trauer um Verlorenes: der Anbhck
von 1938 geplanten kalten NS-Prachtbau-
ten blieb uns erspart. Es entstand eine
Innenstadt-Umgehungsstraße und damit
die Verkehrsberuhigung des Stadtkerns.
So, jetzt stellen wir uns vor, der Foto-
graf zu sein und mitten auf der Neuen-
Welt-Gasse (heute Nowy Swiat, was das
gleiche bedeutet) zu stehen, unmittelbar
an der Ecke Nikolaistraße - rechts geht's
zur Barbarakirche. Und die gegenüberlie-
gende Ecke, die dominierend ün Büd steht,
war einmal das Hospital zum Heüigen
Grab, zu unserer Zeit (gefürchtet) die
Schulzahnklinik. Der dunkle Gegenstand
daran ist eine überdachte spätgotische
Christusfigur (Kopie, das Original steht ün
Architekturmuseum).
Auf der Mitteltrasse, die heute der Stra-
ßenbahn vorbehalten ist, standen vor dem
Kneg romantische alte Häuserzeilen, der
sich dadurch ergebende linke (östliche)
Teü bis zur näcshten Straßenquerung hieß
Jund heißt noch) Weißgerberohle.' f ast der

Ein Stück weiter nach Süden quert als
nächste (nach dem Haus mit dem Türm-
chen) die Reuschestraße (Reußische oder
Russische, nach den russischen Händlern,
die hier im Mittelalter ihr Quartier hatten)
von West (Königsplatz) nach Ost (Ring).
Über der Kreuzung, rechts neben der her-
vortretenden Brandmauer, findet sich (au-
ßerhalb des Bildes) hinter einer neuen de-
korativen Arkadenmauer der Zugang zu
einem der bedeutendsten Handelshöfe
dieser Gegend, der Pokoyhof, der in die
Antoruenstraße mündet. Dort stehen wir
schließhch am Karlsplatz gegenüber der
einstigen Stadtbibliothek. Dazwischen
sind sechs Häuser der ehemaligen Golde-
nen-Rade-Gasse gut erhalten (rechts der
Straßenbahn). Mit der Ecke Reuschestraße
beginnend heißt diese neue Umgehungs-
achse ulica (Straße) Kazimierza Wielkiego
(nach dem polnischen König Kasimir III.,
das ist der, der im Vertrag von Trentschin
1335 für immer auf Schlesien verzichtete!)
und schließt ein die ehemaligen Namen
Reußenohle, Sieben-Rade-Ohle, Schloß-
ohle, Karlstraße, Altbüßerohle, Hummerei
ui:> Ulli Zui v^iiiiaiupiiuiiiuiciic. m uuci
Gesamtheit von der Oder bis zur Taschen-
straße wird die Innenstadtumfahning kurz
»Trasa WZ« = Ost- West-Trasse genannt.
Aber davon ist auf dem Büd nur em
Bruchteil zu sehen, wohl noch der Anfang,
der Antonienstraße (dort die Antoniuskir-
che mit Kloster und mehrere prachtvolle
Hausfassaden), markiert durch das quer-
stehende Gebäude Unks neben der Stra-
ßenbahn. Dort, nochmals links anschlie-
ßend, das stumpfwinkeÜge Dach, gehört
zur gegenüberhegenden Reußenohle. Dort
angelangt lotse ich Sie weiter in die Reu-
schestraße, Richtung Blücherplatz, zur
nächsten Querstraße, der heute gar nicht
mehr düsteren und verrufenen KruUstraße
(früher »Zu den Hundehütten« genannt),
reich an schönen Giebehi und mündend m
einen kleinen Platz mit erhöhtem Cafe
(früher Cafe Frank) und Durchgang zum
Blücherplatz - ganz früher und heute wie-
der Salzmarkt genannt.
Ach, wissen Sie was, lieber Leser, fah-
ren Sie doch einfach wieder mal hin, nach
Schlesien, nach-ßreslau, das so langsam
aus dem sozialistischen Dämmerzustand
erwacht, das lebendiger wird. Vergessen
Sie vor allem nicht, daß es da noch Deut-
sche gibt, die unsere Hilfe, unseren Bei-
stand brauchen, die »die Stellung halten«.
Und - Sie können auf dem Hin- oder
Rückweg mal schnell GörHtz besuchen:
auch das' ist Schlesien, vergessen Sie's
nicht!
Wünscht nmen ein immer
ouie rv.eise
noch seine Heimatstadt hebender Breslau

Mag. Maoiefj Lagiewski
Muzeum Arciiitektury ¥e Wroclaw
Wroclaw
Sehr geherter Herr Lagiews'-i:
Der Oberburgermeister von Munster schickte mir vor ei-'iger Zeit die de-itsche Ausr-abe
des Katal'ges, ♦'Eres auer Juden 185o - 1945"
Als einer der letzten überlebenden dieser Mensch engruppe, mochte ich Ihnen und |
Ihren Mitarbeitern meinen tiefgefühlten Dank aussprechen für diese Arbeit.
Ich fand es hochint er ssant und'habe auch noch viel über meinö eigene Herku-\ft
gelernt. Ich wollte Sie eigentlich aufsuchen als ich im August 1993^ in V^roclaw
war. Jedoch musste ich mein Besuchszeit verkur-en uas Gründen, die ic i nicht
vorausgesehen hatte. So" konnte ich nur einen Teil der Platze besuchen,
die ich eigentlic; bes chen wollte. dU>5
Das folgende interessiert Sie vielleicht. Ichfand^ die vier Hauser, in denen ich
einamal gewohnt hatte nicht mehr vorhanden waren. Jedoch , die Gebäude der drei
Schulen,^ die ich mal besuchte sind noch immer da, einschliess ■ ich des frueheren
Realgy-masium am Zwinger, das ich von 1931 bis 1933 o^t 34 besuchte, und das
dan^is schon am einfallen war. Meine Vorschule war die "Gaudigscnle "
L Stactish e Vol^-csschule Nr. 7o), wo ich von 192? bis 1931 war. Sie^ist die
Schule auf derKleinburgstras: e kurz vor dem Eingang zum Sudpark. Meine
Klasse, wenn ich mich richtig er-*nn.ere , war die erste nachdem dar alte Gebäude
abgerissen war, und wir das neue einweihten. Der Architekt war Wildermann, dessen
Tochter, d* e iSchule mit mir besuchte. Me^ne letzte Scule von 1934 bis Anfang 36
war die Judische Volksschule am Anger, die nicht in dem TCatalig erwähnt ist, ausrer
cer Relig'onssckle "Am Anger", neben der "Neuen Synagoge".
Ich wurde am 4. Oktober, 192o, als Hermann Neustadt, im Haus Charlottenstrasse 36
geboren. Andere Adresren, die ic h hatte waren, Kirscälle 26/23, am Was er türm (1923 b|
bis 1931), Das li?us genorte Egon Schaff er, Iniiauer der Firüia Bund - Schaff er,
am Ring - "Goldeney Becher Seite". Er war Judisch. Was aus seiner Paim.lie wurde weiss
ich nicht ausser^ dass sein Sohn , : orst, der ein Freund von mir war im Kz.
Mathnusen umgekom-ien sein soll. Dan- wohnten wir Eich dorff Strasse 3^ [ Ecke
TCurfurstenstrasse, d.h. das Grundstück hatt auc die Nuii^mer 4o auf der Kur'' urfursten-
straseyfT'931 bis 1935-.. Da,a-Haus gehörte dem "Handscbh.. Bessert", der ein Handschuh-
gescnft auf der Schweidn it-^ erstras re hatte. Er war nie ht Judisoh. Dann zogen
me 'ne Eltern in die Scharnhorststrasse 6 oder 8, Ecke Arndtslrasse, wo heute ein
Mietshaus ste.t mit der Nummer 6/8 Ich selbst ging im Mai 1936 auf d«s \s.
"Judische Ausvxandererlehrn-ut Gross Breesen" im Kreis Trebnitz, von wo ich 4m Dez.
1933 ^uswnaderte
Mein Vater war Max Neustadt, KÄÄxmKiKexMutterx a^:i 17. Febr^rar 137'^in
Breslau geboren, und meine Mutter Irene Therese Neustadt geb. Fessler -us Halle/
Saale, wo sie am 25. März 1895 geboren wurde. Die i^ltern meines Vaters waren
Herrmann Neustad^t der in Rawitsch (Rawice; in der dann Provinz Posen
ffeboren wurde, und se'n^Frau war B^r-tha Neustadt geb. Frankel aus Op peln/<y.>.
Sie gehorte dem grossen Klan der ^«?SftSÖt-Pinkus von der Leinenweberei in Neustadt/OS
an. Beide meine Vaterlichechn Grosseltern wur^den 1846 ge-Vi^oen.
Diäuutter Tiie*ne.r Nutter kam anc- ausOnpel n, Amalie Fessler , geb. Unger.
Ihr^Mann war Dr. Siegmuohd Fessler, Rabbiner in Halle/Saale von etv^a 1331 bis
lO09."soweit ich weiss besuchte er das, Bres-auer Rab^nerseminar.
Er kara ^on Comorn in Ungarn, in der /ah er der Grenze mit der Slovakei.
Mein G rossvater Neustadt gründete etwa 1373 --sammane mit e'nem ^Vetter, Neumann,
die Firma "Neustadt ^ Neumann" Strumpffabriken mit ^zu meinen Lebzeiten;
Fabriken in Wunsch el bürg und Strehlen, und der Zentrale in , danji Breslau,
form and we'll send them an official entry application right
away. Perhaps it could be a model for the nation, and be
repiicated in other communities across the country.

National Weifare Reform Initiative by sending a special
contribution. » . f

I'm convinced, with this program and your help, we can

Because of the faith and financial support of our Institute

lose our virtues, we cannot keep our freedoms.
Nowhere is that truth seen more clearly than in the corruDt

Fifty Years...of Life After tke Holocaust
Dear Friends:
The year 1995~the 50th Aimiversary of the end of World War II— will be a special
year for Holocaust survivors. Fifty years ago, in the process of defeating the German Nazi
war inaclüne, AUied Forces encountered what was left of European Jewry. Although it was
not the deliberate objective of the Allies to liberate us, we are grateful that they came across
Üie death and concentration cainps when they did. Otherwise, far fewer of us would have
survived.
After tlie war, we did not becoine embittered or filled with hate, as would have been
easy based on our experiences. Instead, we rose froin the ashes of our tragedy to create new
life. Although most survivors caine to the United States with very little, and luiew nothing
of tliis countr/s language or culture, we did not despair.
We worked hard— day and night— doing whatever was necessary to take advantage
of the opportunity this country provided to start anew. We gradually built new homes and
fanüÜes; contributed-in every way we could— to the coimnunlties in which we settled and
to the life of this great nation; all the while coinmitting ourselves to the cause of
remembrance. We survivors have been the backbone of efforts to establish Holocaust-
related centers, memorials and museums, including the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
in Washington, DC.
What should we do now, fifty years after the end of World War II? How do we
acknowledge this upcoming amiiversary? Though it will be a celebratlon in part, it is
difficult for survivors to rejoice without tlüiddng about those who perished.

February I8th and 19th, 1995, will try to do justice to memory as we celebrate the
aimiversary of the end of Uie war and the begimüng of our new lives. At the same time, we
will focus on our unmatched record of determination and achievement during the past 50
years.
On Saturday, February 18, there will be a Survivors' Village at the Fontainebleau
Hilton Hotel, and a ceremony of remembrance. On Sunday the 19th, a remarkable program,
featuring renowned spealcers, entertainment and exlubits, will culminate with a festive
diimer during which we wiU pay tribute to the U.S. Armed Forces and drink a Lchaim to our
new lives and families.
The extraordinary stories of courage and perseverance to rebuild our lives, help
create the State of Israel and preserve our menschlichkeit are still unfolding. We anticipate
Üiat several thousand survivors, and their families, will come together in Miami. We hope
that you, too, will be there.

The Good News and The Bad News
About JWV's lOOth Anniversary Stamp
DearJWVMember,
A few weeks ago you received your annual JWV personali2ed address labeis. At that
time, I told you about JWV's aggressive effbrts to be recognized by the United States Postal
Service with an official lOOth Anniversary Stamp.
Well, I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that a bill presented
to the House of Representatlves by Congressman James Talent collected enough slgnatures
to be considered for a fuU House vote.
The bad news is that despite all of our out Standing support....and many thousands of
letters, post cards, and signatures on petitions... the Citi2ens' Stamp Advisory Committee
arbitrarily rejected our request because we are a sectarian Organization.
Your TWY SWAT T roiyriNUE THIS FIGHTt We now ask you to Join wlth us to encour-
age White House involvement in our campaign for the stamp. We believe in Jewish veterans
and we want thelr contribution to the defense of America to be recognized.
That's why it's so important that you-the JWV member-^use your JWV address
labeis. Show the U.S. Postal Service and all Americans who handle the mail that you are
proud to be a Jewish 'war veteran...proud of your service to America, Use your labeis in
writing to the President for his support of our stamp.
Spread the word through correspondence to your family, friends and business
associates that JWV is still fighting after all these years — fighting for veterans' rights and
fighting for democratic principles w^orldwide.
Use those JWV personalized address labeis. And, if you have yet to make your
contribution to the cause, please send in your gilt today! We need these vital funds to
continue our important work for veterans and their families.
Your gift of $10, $18, $25 or whatever you can give helps maintain a strong JWV
presence on Capitol HiU. Your gift keeps alive the names and stories of Jewish American
veterans for today's young people and for future generations. Send in your contribution
today! Use your labeis! Thank you.

Lieber Herr van Rahden:
Ein Brief an Sie ist schon lange überfällig: Noch vielen Dank für die Übersen-
dung Ihrer Arbeit. Nachdem ich anfing an Sie zu schreiben, kamen mirfnooh
andere Sachen dazvrischen, so dauerte es noch länger bis ich Ihnen
tj^Al itU ^'.esen Brief schicke.
Ich habe mir erlaubt, Kopien Ihrer Arbeit zu machen, und habe diese an verscliie-
dene Freunde und Verwnadte, die an Breslau inetesr.iert sind geschickt.
Zur gleichen Zeit schickte ich diesen eine Xerox Kopie de» Arbeit
^Jewich Life^in Breslau 1933 - 1941", die ziemlich ani Ende des LBI
Jalirbuches für 1996 erschien. Ich nehme m Sie erhalten, oder können das LBI
Jahrbuch sehen, wenn notig.
Fragen:
Wer hat diese Arbeit im LBI Jabbuch über Breslau geschrieben. Ich nehme an
ein früherer Breslauer, der jetzt in Israel lefct und seinen Namen geändert hat.
Wissen Sie wie er frui(}ir hies ? V^o5Vi Ay<i£ov)
In Ihrer Arbeit steht, dass es Teil eines Buches "Theljews in the Weimar
Rupbul^olihtschreihe dies wahrend eines schweren Gewitters, und soeben
ging das Licht aus)
Republiu" lal. Wo kann man das ganze i3uch bekommen 7
In dem Artikel über d±wx "Jeu^ih Life in Breslau 39-41" wird öfter erwähtli ,
ein Bericht oder Buch bei Dr. Siegraund Hadda, der de^ letzte Direkirtrr
des "Judischen Krn^Vehhauses - Breslau", Wiseen Sie vielleicht wo Man eine
Kopie davon erhalten konnte. Dr. Hadda war einer jneiner Ärzte, der mich als
Junge zweimal operierte, und mir auch mein Ohr wider zusamen nahte
nachedm^ mich ein kleiier Kazi im Hallenschwimmbad in das Wasser\itospen hatte.
Ich traf ihn nach dem Kriege in N.Y. wieder. Ausserdem war sein Sohn, der
unterdessen auch verstobene, Dr. Geog Hadda, N.Y. mein "Führer" und Freund
im "Scharzen Faii nlcien" der dtsch.-jud. Jugendbewegung. Ich war oft ein
^apt in se'nemHaus, das e'nes der modernsten in Breslau was (Stif eterstras se 6.
verlTigerte Akazien Allee) **
Audi V7ie kann man evtl. eine Konie des Tagesbuohes von Willy Cohn bekommen?
Beiliegend meine Antwort an Herrn Hartwig, die Sie vielleicht interessiert, Auc}i
Bilder und Bericht über die^ Ruckgabe der "Storch" Synagoge an die heutige
Oud.^ Gemeinde in V/roclaw (über das sind Sie vielleicht besJTer informoiert
als ich). In dem Brief an Hartwig habe ich wie Sie selben können Ihre
Adresre litfreteilt. Hat er sich a^Sie gev/andt ? Er ^hatte irgendwo eine
Anzeige, auf die hin ich ihm einigere Adres-en von frieren jud. Breslauern
gab, und er sohic^^rte mir dann einen Brief mit einer Reihe von Fragen, die ich
versnobt habe zu beantworten. Angeblich will er einen Film mac^hen in dem
das^Leben von einer judisc' en, einer katholischen und einer evangel ir.chen
Familie in Breslau vergliechen wird. Er hat anch ein Buch über die
dtsch. jud. Kmigrat^en in N.Y. /geschrieben. (Über diepe gibt es ubrirrons
ein recht 1 nteresrantes Video)
Da ^ie das jud. Leben usw. in Breslau und im Deutaohen Reich studiert
haben ^unles Sie interessiert, interessiert Sie vielleicht einige Daten über
die judische Bevölkerung in Gost- Rica.

von Einv/anderern, meistens von Polen. Als der Paprt h9\j.r war in sÄAi mit
lokalen Polen traf waren wohl -^ie raeis^ten judisch. Heute gibt es eine grosse
Anzahl, die sind Rechtsanwälte, oder Arzte. In dem Kran%nahus , wo ich
hingehe, ist der Chefarzt der Oholmologie Dr. Rubinstein, und der Chef der
Urologie, Dr. Feinzaig. Der Bruder de? letzteren ist Zahnarzt.
Es gibt eine lang existierende Synagoge in der Stadtmitte, die
ziemlich orthodo>jx ist iind soll nicht sehr fremdenfreundlich sein (icl) war
noch niemals darin). Dflinl^en sind Räume der Isaelitisch-Zionisteschen

sehr wenig Juden in CR die Absicht nach Israel auszuwandern. Ausserdem gibt
es seit einigen Jahren eine mehr liberale Gemeinde, die in einem fruehren
RestaVant ist, dns ge-M etet ist. Sie bestellt TJg.seini.gen judischen
Europaern, die nich ans Polen kommen, einigen von der US, anderen
Landern in Latin Amerika und einigen Israelis. Zq den hoe^n Feiertagen

Kommentare und Prägen in Bezug auf Ihre Arbeit fJber die Juden von Breslau.
Ihre Arbeit hat mich sehr in^eresriert und hier sind ein paar Kom^mentare und
Prai:^en : *"
1» Ich war mir nicht bev/usst, dass im Anfang der Weimar rq)ublik die Stellung
der Juden in der Deutschen Gesellschaft sich verschlechterte. Bis Ende xatatx
der zwanziger Jar-re sprach man in meinem ElternJiWs nicht viel von den
Nazi^ obwohl ich durch Zufall auf dem Parteitag 1929 war. Meine Mutter, die
Politik nicht sehr interessierte, beschlosss gerade zu diessem Zeitpunkt
ihren Bruder in Nurn'erp; zu besuchen. Als wir die Bürger besuchten wiTimllete es
von Nazi in Uniform, |L*.e aJ le sehr nett und hof licr: waren. Sie wussten natur-
lich nicht , dasr meine Mutter judisch war. Ausserdem sah sie so aus wie die
Nazi* das ideale deutsche Madch^en malten, d.h. sie wr blonAmH langen Zöpfen,
hatte blaue Auf^ien und hatte e'.ne gute Pigur. Als wir irgendwo in der Stadtmitte
in eine ^chiesrerei zwischen Polizei und Nazis gerieten schob sidllLch sei nell
in ein Taxi, und wir verschwntden.
2. Sie hahen offensichtlich die Möglichkeit St euer er klar ugen zu untersuchen.
Wieviel und w^che, und wie 'Äpliziert das ist weiss ich naturlich nicht.
Wenn im Jahre 19o6 RM 3000,- ein gutes mitleres Einkoramen darstellten,
waren wir, i.e. mein Vater und Grosfevater ziemlich wohlhabend. Mein Vater
sagte mir mal, dass die Firma im Jahre 1913, einen Reingewinn von RM 100.000.-
gehabt hatte. Ware es Ihnen mopilich das in der Zulcnnft zu bestätigen oder zu
Korregiern. Ist nicht sehr wichtig, aber wuöde mich natl^l'oh interessieren.
Die Pirma war: Neustadt k Neumann, Tauentzienstrasse 4. Mein Vater war
Max, mein Grossvater HerrmaHn [2 tt) , und mein Onkel Ernst Neustadt. Adresse
meines Grossvaters zumindest war wohl, Kirschatlee 26/28 ^Kjm» ^ %>*^^\ l\t u^ )
3* ixaiTvidiacaussi^a afv:n : Ihre Uiskusrion über die iiJinJ^urgerung von
^ Ost Juden ist sehr interessant für mich. Weil ich ofterj , in Gesprächen, von
Ost Juden gehört habe, habe ich personlich nie jemanden gekannt, der als solcher
bezeihnet wurde, oder sfe'rlselbst so fuljlte. Naturlich mein Grossvater
kam aus Rawitsch, aber das war zu dieser Zeiti in der Preussichen Provinz
Posen. Obwohl ich v^n der Schoftlander Familie wusste, d.h. ihr Gut in
Hartlieb-Bres'au, undiass sie den Südpark gestiftet hatten, horte ich nie etu^as
von dem Mord^^ des Journalisten Schottlander, der ja immerhin etwas vor meiner
Geburt oassierte. .
Obwohl Sie von ati-seraitischen Ausschreitungen berichten, horte ich von meinen
Eltern oder ihren Freunden niemals etwas davon. Auf der anderen Seite horte
ich wiederholt wie woiil meine Grossmutter und andere Freunde und Verwandte
nach dem 1. Welt^rcrieg nach Schlesien von anderen Teilen Leutsclands, oft mit

4. Ihrre Diskussion über das Johannes Gymnasium fand ichauch sehr interessant
Sie haben ja schon früher mal meine romantische Verbindung dises Gymnasiums mit
Friedrich dem Grossen , richtig gestellt. Ein Gruniweil meine Eltern mic^h zum.
Realgymnasium am Zwinger schickten, war, dass so viele jud. Studenten im
Johannis Gymnasium waren. E5.n|f andere!^ dass es humamsti*cWwar und man
Griechisch lernen musste. Latin hat mir schon genug ^w?eMgk ei ten gemacht.
Ahnlich wie das Johannisgymnasium, war die Viktoria Schule beliebt für
Tochter von Freunden mei er Eltern. Wie ich wohl schon woanders ervrahnte
'/TSLT Rose Blum (geb. Guttmann) Studienratin dort und im allgemeinen
sehr beliebt. Eine der kleinen %aL^ Zeitungen, d.h. die eine 'kleine politische

aber schon vor 33 eine grosse Anti-semitin und Nazi (poss. Dtsch. Nat . ) war,
und sorach von dierser Da^e als die Studienratin mit den" Schwarz -V/ei ss -Roten" Soo

Mein Vater übrigens ging entwec^.er zum Elizabeth Gymnasium oder Matthias Gy-na-

auch nicht sehr vrichtig.
5. Mischehen: Sehr virl weiss ich dsL^^■ nicht. Ein en/rer J^Yeund meines Vaters
Paul V/ohlauer, verheiratete sich mit einer Dame, die nicht jud.^ch war. Als
Nazis mehr Druck ausübten, hatten sie eine Scheinscheidung. Jedoch , die Dame
stand zu ihrem Mann bis zum letzten. Ich entsinne mich nicht ob er starb oder
deooortiert wurde. Die Dame hatte die Besitzungen, die ein oder mehr Haaer, KÜrfSut
stenstrasse Ecke Scharnhorstrasse einsch^ess, in ihrem Namen. Sie selbst ] ebte
am Ende des Kruges in dem Streifen, wo die Verteidiger von Breslau ein
Rollfeld bauten. Ich erinnere mich an all das so genau, weil, mein Vater
bevor ^ er auswanderte, ihr die wichtigsten Akten der Firma Neustac^l *f. llennmn übergab
Die gingen dann verloren, as\l^ sie ihr Haus oder Wohrnrnn- im Bezirk des Rollfeldes
räume: musste. Die Dame floh dann nach dem Westen, nachdem sie von Russen mis-
handelt wurde und lebto in Hannover.
Ich entsinne ^ mich dass einer der judischen Studienräte des Johannls Gymnasium

Der jüngere Bruder meiner Mutter, Dr. Herbert Fessler, der Chemiker war, kam aus

Gross Breesen, named for its nearest
crossroads village, was a non-Zionist school in '
a nobleman'3 Castle. It, was established in
1936 by tht Reichsvertretung der Juden in
Deutschland (xeieuedXo here as the Agency
for Jews), an Organization created by German
Jews in response to Hitler's rise to power in
1933. The Agency for Jews' task was .to help
•" Jews leave Germany, where they were rapidly
becoming second-class Citizens, and until the -
Crystal Night it was even officially sanctioned
by the Third Reich. The purpose of the school
at Gross Breesen was to teach Jewish teen-

that would help them gain entxy
into countries like Brazil that
needed farm labor. (More de-
veloped countries had rigorous
immigration restrictions; once
the quota for Germans had
been filled, even Jews fearful
for their lives.could not emi-
grate to the United States, for
exaniple, unless relatives had
preceded them or property was
owned.)
At the outset, Breesen (pro-
nounced bra-zen) was more
thaii a farm school, however.
Bondy, the educator and psy-
chologist hired by the Agency
for Jews to run the school's
program, created a rieh philo-;
sophical curriculum around his
"three pillars" Qudaism, agri-
culture,. and' German culture)
that would be treasured all
through the lives of those stu-
dents who survived the Holo-
caust. But by 1942, Gross
Breesen had become little more
than a labor camp, whose agri-
cultural products went to feed
German soldiers,- and whose
students-tumed-laborers were
forced to wear yellow stars.
The 567-acre parcel of field
and woodland that surrounded
the Castle was once the domain
of a Prussian Junker, a member
of thatclass of landholding no-
blemen. whose sons provided
the German armywith its offi-
cers. How/ in the 1920s, the
land came into the hands of a
wealthy Polish Jew named Willi
Rohr is a matter lost to history.
The Rohrs farmed its flat, fer-
tile soil for several years, until
Hitler's rise to power made
them flee to their native Po-
land, tuming- their castle-farm
'over to the Agency for Jews.
From photographs of the lanes
lined with apple trees, the baro-
nial Castle, the peaceful pond,
and the lawns around it, it is
easy to see how Dse Rohr, a
teen-ager, would have difficulty
departing the estate where she
was raised., In the early years of
the farm.school she came often
as a visitor, and when 'Germany
invaded Poland in 1939, it was
as saf e as any. place she could
be. (Needing the produce and
livestock from such agricultural
communities; the, Nazis initially
overiooked the .. fact> .that they
were staffed by Je\ys.) My fa-
ther, a Student at, the school
from 1936 to 1938, remembers
Ilse Rohr's 'Visits and that she
was a laughing girl with dark,
bobbed hair. Indeed, the Castle
and its grounds cast a kind of
spell over all who stayed there,
enough to bring together Bree-
sen's survivors after 50 years
at a reunion in Israel this past
spring; The reunion drewsome
85 Breeseners from sbc conti-
nents, some^ of whom hadn't
•Seen one anothier for 50 years,
some of whom recognized oth-
ers they thöught had perished
as victiras _ of the Nazis. Ilse
Rohr was not among them,
however. Unlike the students
who were , arrested at Gross
Breesen in 1942 ai^d' perished
at Auschwitz or Theresienstadt,
Ilsa Rohr had been captured
while working for the Polish re-
sistance, tried for treason, and
hanged. . ; / .,; ' •
he lectures about Le-
benskunden (designed
to meefthe cultural and
Spiritual needs of thefuture set-
tlers) occurred in the evenings
after long days in the fields, the
laundry, the cow bams. Even
before the students arrived, the
meadows. of-. the .Rohrs bore
oats, barley, flax, and alfalfa.
The. fields fuUof..potatoes,
beets, and sugar beets had to be
hoed. Six teams of horses and
four of oxen were fed, watered,
worked, or shod. A German
blacksmith taught forging. A
Jewish carpenter taught car-
pentiy, and (after loud protests)
even a few girls were allowed
to assist in building stanchions
and wagons. In the kitchen, the
girls — decidedly a minority at
Breesen — baked the bread
and cooked all the meals.
(There were five, including the
"little breakfast" carried out to
the fields at midraorning, and
the rolls and jani for tea.) In
Summer, the boys pitched hay
in what.my father calls "ch'ain-
gang fashion" from wagon to
haymow. Before that, tlie alfalfa
or timothy had been mown,
then dried by band, the boys
wielding rakes along the win-
drows. "Das Heu muss auf
dem Haken trocken!!" Herr
Gamrot, the German overseer,
would cry, meaning, "Hay has
to dry on the rake!" not on the
ground, so keep those rakes
moving. German wage-earning
farmhands like Gamrot who had
worked for the Rohrs now
worked for the Agency for
Jews, a tenuous Situation that
would not last the decade. Rela-
tions with the German staff
who üved in- a circle of rather
primitive • houses by the castle
were amicable, however, and
photographs from 1937 show
the children of Germans' at pic-
nics with the children of Jews.
That would have been im-
possible in town society in Ger-
many in 1937. The Nuremburg
laws of September 1935 had
rendered Jews subjects in a na-
tion of'Aryans. My father,
George Landecker, applied to
Gross Breesen in 1936, be-
cause it seemed to off er safety
from the persecution that
touched even Nordenburg, the
small Baltic town outside of
Koenigsberg (today' Kalinin-
grad, now in Russia) where he
lived. AJthough His father, a de-
iiveryman with the horse-cart
route from the raikoad, insisted
that nothing would häppen to
his family ("I received the Iron
Gross in the warl" my father re-
members him insisting in de-
fense of his rights as a Ger-
man), Breesen was for my fa-
ther andmany adolescents like
him a chance at the education
denied them bytheir country. It
also offered the' tantalizing no-
tion of training for a settlement
in a foreign land, a future that
parents more realistic than my
grandfather were seeking for
their chüdren'and themselves.
And until the Crystal Night,
Breesen offered an iilusion of
safety that allowed friendship,
leaming, and a semblance of
family life away from the com-
mon danger. Yet it was not a
completely charraed, protected
sanctum. Gross Breesen had its
own disasters that, perhaps,
foretold the trials to come.
The Oder River flows
through Silesia in what
is today the southwest
corner of Poland, where the
boys from the castle-farm
would ride their wide-tired bicy-
cles on Sundays for a svmn.
Among them would be Dackel
(which means dachshund, a
nickname reserved for fellows
with big ears), Hannio, who
came from a wealthy Breslau
family, and Stefan, from Berlin.
There was Prinz, royally nick-
named in spite of his slovenJy
habits, and Toepper, who came
to Breesen because he wanted
to work with animals and
wasn't permitted to work at the
ZOO. ("You see, even the mon-
keys are anti-Semitic," his fa-
ther had told him when the re-
jection letter came.) And there
was Stelle, or .Herbert Stern,
who, Dackel recalled 50 years
later, had perhaps had a premo-
nition.
' "You know,. I can't swira,"
Stelle told Dackel as they rode
their bicycles south along the
lanes toward the Oder, "maybe
Fm the n^y^t Todeskandidat."
Candidate for Death was a
populär novel among the boys
at Breesen that year.
None of the boys who are
now the men who gathered.at
the reunion in Israel knows
what really happened that sum-
mer day in 1936. What they re-
member is realizing that their
friend was gone, and then div-
ing and diving over and over
again to find him. But when
they did, Stelle had drowned.
It was the first of three
deaths that would shake the
idylljc nature of the castle-farm
Community. The next was the
bizarre death of 16-year-old
Gustel, who feil from a table
where he had been showing off,
Walking on his hands. He was
rushed to a hospital but died of
a fractured skull the same day.
The third death was the re-
sult of a suicide attempt that —
perhaps inadvertently — suc-
ceeded. Even the peculiar Situa-
tion of Jewish - teen-agers in
Nazi Germany did not render
them any different from teen-
agers everywhere at any time.
It was the fashion at Breesen
for the boys togroup together
in cliques, usually around one
respected older trainee, such as
Hannio Ollendorf, the well-off
boy from Breslau. The "Han-
nioten," as that clique wr.s
calied, were regarded by other
trainees as the most arrogant
and disdainful of the cliques,
and even Bondy's Lebenskun-
den on themes like "group re-
sponsibility" and "self-aware-
ness" didn't seem to dampen
their hauteur when the boys
were all together. Perhaps be-
cause he was genuinely gener-
ous, or perhaps to secure his fa-
vored Status in the group, Han-
nio would take the members of
his clique out for dinner when
they traveled into Breslau.
When it was discovered that to
fund these grand meals Hannio
had been stealing cash from the
little commissary where the
trainees bought incidentals and
toiletries, his casual generosity
became a serious matter. A
clean moral character was an
essential, unspoken fourth pillar
in Bondy's beliefs for what was •
required for a future, settle-
ment, and Hannio was expelled
from the school. The matter
was kept under wraps, but
Prinz and Toepper, both mem-
bers of the clique, remember
that Hannio took them for a
walk in the park surrounding
the Castle on the night that he
left, and told them that Bondy
had Said he was unfit to be a
member-of the settlement.
Toepper remembers Bondy
rushing into his room around
midnight that night and asking
if Hannio had said where he was
going, then running to his office
where he began calling hoteis in
Breslau. Hannio was found in a
Breslau hotel room where he
had taken barbiturates. In spite
of hospitalization and stomach-
pumping, he developed pneu-
monia and was dead within
days.
AJthough the tragedies dur-
ing the castle-farm's lirst years
bore little resemblance to the
terror that was buüding for
Jews in the outside wprld, they
could not help but serve as ad-
monition. The death of a loved
one. or a peer is not something
most adolescents consider. For
the Hannioten and the rest of
the trainees, the deaths of their
friends may have heightened
their uncertainty about their
own futures. Probably, their
loss bound them more tightly to
one another and to the Commu-
nity. ..
The Summer of 1938 had
been a hot one, with ex-
cellent haying and a pro-
digious crop of ripe grain. The
boys and girls had worked to-
gether bringing in the hay that
sununer, sometimes even in moonlight, as the es-
prit de Corps of the group had grown to produce
such motivation. By November, the potatoes and
the beets had been harvested, and the winter
work was about to begin. Sorting potatoes in the
cold cellar and weaving straw mats were sorae of
the tasks at hand, but the transition into winter
activities also permitted time for emphasis on
culture. An inexperienced but dihgent violin trio
had developed a repertoire large enough to pro-
vide entertainment every evening in a salon of
the Castle. On Friday evenings a traditional, if not
very devout, Shabbat ceremony preceded the
evening meal, with Services conducted by the few
bo3rs who came from religious families. OBondy
himself came from a nonreligious family, and
Gross Breesen was one of the few settlement
schools that had not set its sights on Palestine, so
it is no surprise that the Jewish pillar was tlie
weakest.of the three.) A group of thespians was
busily rehearsing Henry IV for a production in
December.
By autumn, the idea of a Brazihan settlement
had been abandoned after two years of failed ne-
gotiations with authorities there, but a new
scheme, known as the "Virginia plan/' looked
promising. A wealthy Jewish merchant in Amer-
ica had ahready donated a farm that would, he
hoped, become a utopian experinient in agricnl-
tiire and lifestyle. He gave each trainee a share
and was securing permission for them to enter
the United States. Although some students had
left Germany with families who had managed to
obtain visas for them, others were perhaps too
young to appreciate the need to do so and were
simply happy to finally be in an educational set-
ting that stimulated collegial friendship and cre-
ativity. The rumors of forced labor and detain-
ment camps that circulated throughout the nation
were heeded by some, yet many Jews simply re-
fused to believe such camps existed. One Student
had traveled to England, attended school there
for a few weeks, and retumed to Germany to the
castle-farm, so much had she missed the group
sptrit and camaraderie of Gross Breesen.
This was the climate the Gestapo intemipted
on the lOth of November, 1938, and this was tlie
setting that would never be the same.
After the Crystal Night, the older boys and
male staff members were transported to
the concentration camn at Buchenwald,
where Bondy and my father, who vras 20 then
and had ahready finished his training and begun
working on a Bavarian farm, would eventually
join them. (My father likes to say that theu- coin-
ddental meeting at Buchenwald was the first
Gross Breesen reunion, and that it was a relief to
find people he knew in the concentration camp,
not only for morale, but because they had
brought blankets, and he had none.) The Gestapo
placed two women, Bondy's secretary and the
farm manager's wife, in Charge of the school.
There followed a difficult two months during
which former Breeseners, members of the Agen-
cy for Jews, and friends of-the Community within
■ and without Germany struggled to get the crucial
papers that would guarantee the Breeseners' re-
lease from Buchenwald, near Weimar, half the
nation away. For this the Gestapo required docu-
ments as proof of permission to enter another
country. To obtain these, Community members
of ten had to travel several hours by train to pick
up papers at the Agency for Jews, now operating
clandestinely in Berlin.
On just such a joumey, one Student recalls,
she was carrying a satchel füll of the critical doc-
uments on the subway in Berlin and was deep in
conversation with her companion,' who had been
released from Buchenwald and was traveling to
his parents' home in Berlin.' Her task, transport-
ing the satchel füll of papers, was temporarily
forgotten, and when she and her companion. left
the car to change trains, the suitcase with the
papers remained. With horror, they reahzed they
would have to approach one of the transit offi-
dals; who — if he realized what the suitcase con-
tained or noticed the shaved head of a newly re-
leased prisoner — could easily detain them. The
girl approached the red-capped stationmasier,
and her companion pulled his hat down over his
ears. With typical German Tuechtigkeit (efficien-
cy), the suitcase was held for them at the next
Station. . . / . '
Eventually, all the group arrested on Novem-
ber 10 succeeded in emigrating over the next
months. Most of them, my father included, trav- '
eled via a refugee camp in Holland to America,
where the "Virginia plan", of operating an agri-
cultural utopia provided a temporary refuge in
the new country but eventually tumed into a di-
saster. Gross Breesen receiyed new students and
continued as a Jewish school and sanctuary. For
almost'a year after the. Crystal Night, the farm
training and cultural activities were carried out
much as they had been before, under Walter
Bernstein, the new director sent by the Agency
for Jews. . " ' .
Although the Crystal Night made the world
more aware of the Jewish plight, perhaps lif ting a
few colintries' inomigration restrictions, it also
encouraged more anti-Semitism throughout Ger-
many. Even under the more attentive eye of the
Gestapo, Gross Breesen provided such shelter
from the persecütion experienced by most ' stu-
dents that some refüsed to leave even when the
opportunity was presented. Eva Landecker, my
father's sist^r and a 15-year-old trainee, wrote tb
her parents in the Summer of 1939 that she had
, chosen not to use her hard-won visa to accompa-
ny them to Chile ^ that autumn. After the difficult
years in public school in Nordenburg, she was
now happily rehearsing the role of Hermia for A
Midsummer Night's Dream.
T
JL]
n the autumn of 1939 Germany declared war
on Poland..The Polisb bnrdpr lay only an hour
by- car from the castle-farm in Silesia, and the
roar of fighter planes was heard frequently. hi
the Castle, black curtains darkened all the win;
dows in the evenings to conceal the' possible tar-
get: Once, the students heard what they took to
be a plane crashing in the nearby forest in the
night. They were not allowed to look for it the
next day, and never found out whether it was
German or Polish. The production of A Midsum-
mer Night's Dream was placed on a hurried
schedule so that Hermija might emigrate to Chile
in November. : Indeed," . the play was produced
once, and the very night of the Performance,
after the applause, Eva Landecker was taken by
carriage to the Station to join her family in Berlin,
from where they left for Genoa, and then San-
tiago. ; .
«Rationing was mandatory in Germany by that
time, 'and Frau Bernstein, the durector's wife,
would ^bravely carry the ration cards for the
whole Community into town every week. Some
shopkeepers would ever-so-stealthily add a tiny
bit more to the rations, and Frau Bernstein would

accept them without acknowledgement, for the
padding of rations was a criminal offense. The
castle-färm that had once had five meaJs a day
with bread and jam at teatime now survived on a
diet of potatoes and cabbage. Nonetheless, stu-
dents feit safe and hopeful there. Guenther Mar-
cuse, a 16-year-old Student from Berlin, wrote to
his parents that autumn, "Am healthy and sound.
The work goes on in a pleasant atmösphere."
In the winter-of'1940 an ominous change oc-
curred in the lives of the students at Gross
Breesen, as the farm school began to make a
transition from training program to labor camp.
At the reunion this year in Israel, Rudi Weiss,
who survived Breesen's most difficult years, said,
"We had, in 1940,.to begin to wear thejewish
Star of David, very prominently displayed at the
left Shoulder. It was sewn onto the item of cloth-
ing. And there;was a very strict punishment if
you tried to hide it.. And all had to carry Identifi-
cation papers that bore a large, Hebraic "J" and a
[profile] photograph with the left ear displayed
prominently. The papers had to be signed by the
bearer with the middle name — 'Israel' for boys
and 'Sarah' for girls." Weiss is a gentle man who
lives today in Australia and whose daughter is
married to a German in Berlin. At the reunion on
the Mediterranean.coast, 46 years after the en-
forced wearing of the stars, Weiss added,."You
know, that was not such a bad thing. It is lovely
to be called .'Israel.'"
By May of 1940, there were aboiit 110 train-
ees at the farm. The preceding year, approxi-
mately the same number had succeeded in emi-
grating, 21 to Australia, sbc to Kenya, and about
35 to the United States.. The rest had obtained
papers individually to other countries around the
World, with the help pf their famiÜes or the work
of Bondy, Toepper, and other members of the
commuriity who were frantically trying< to get .
Sponsors from abroad. Although rations were be-
coming dearer andworking hours longer, and al-
though weekly Visits from the Gestapo enforced
the reality that the Community was.no longer a .
training center, the : young people of Breesen
nonetheless feit hopeful that they wouJd be able
to leave Germany. They were aware of the ef-
forts by Bondy and the others, and many were in
contact with their relatives overseas. The ulti-
mate dream of Gross Breesen, that'of a foreign
settleraent, had become reality at the community
in Virginia, whereV although there were Prob-
lems, at least there were nb Nazis.. Guenther
Marcuse,'clearly unaware that the avenues of es-
cape were rapidly closing for him, wrote in Janu-
ary 1941 to his family, who had settled in Lon- ~^
don, of the "rieh fund of knowledge, both theo-
retical and practical," that he was receiving in
anticipation of his emigration to join the others,
he hoped, in the settlement in the United States.

In June of 1941 the gas Chambers were con-
structed at Auschwitz and designed, accord-
ing to testimony at the Nuremburg trials, to
accommodatemore people and. kill them with
more Tuechtigkeit than those already existing at
Treblinka^ By word.of mouth, Hitler passed the
Order to Goering and Himmler, and thence to the
Gestapo, to implement his "final Solution." By
August 1941, the number of trainees at Breesen
had.dwindled to 43; those who were gone had not
emigrated but had been moved to other.forest or
farm labor campsin Upper or Lower Silesia. It
was becoming ' clear to the young farmers —
8 :
even in their. isolation in the comparative sanctu-
ary of Gross Breesen — that the possibility of
leaving the country waS;dwindling,. too. •. :. .; %/
Earlier that year the parents ofone train'ee,
Arthur (nicknamed ' Abu) • Wolff , had arrived at
Breesen. Abu/s father,,. Walter, managed some-
how;to win the trust'of the .German inspector in
Charge 'of managing'farm labor and began to
oversee the work of the trainees. That was cer-
tainly an advantage for those who continued the
long hours of what had become, as.Abu Wolff
recalls today, "farming for. surviy^.". -
On August 31, 1941, Gestapo Order II B4-
1937/41 announced the official liquidation of
Gross Breesen as a training center and its con-
version to a labor camp/ the products of which
went to supply^the army of the Reich. Late that .
year, Walter Bernstein was removed as director
and sent to another forest labor camp, and then
to Auschwitz, where he would die in 1943J Abu
Wolff, Guenther Marcuse, and the other trainees
continued workingthrough. that winter of 1941-
42, hoping that theremoteness of Gross Breesen
and the Germans' need for agricültural products
would Protect them in the Castle. •-, '
ife at the castle-farm apparently continued
V in this yein for almost a year. Abu -Wolff
Üirecalls that, although the Ipng hours of
work pennitted little.time.for study, there was
nonetheless a feeling of togethemess invoked by
the sheer strength of survival. "We were so-
called reliable Jews," Wolff, who is today a pros-
perous manager of.aBrazüian.nickel mine,.re-
called at the reunion'in Israel. In .the evenings,
the young laborers tried to listen to the radio, to
keep in touch with the turmoil of events in the
World war that was: waging- around them. They
knew, of.course.that Jews were being deported
towork camps for forced labor, but they didn't
know what>happened to.,them there. In 1942 at
Gross Breesen, • the young laborers' major hope
was that they. would. beallowedto.stay in the
corafort of.the Castle and not be transported to a
Situation that was worse. ,.,; • ' >
The needs of the •Wehrmacht interfered with
that hope, however, and in October of 1942 a
momentous change occurred at the labor camp
^ that prompted Guenther Marcuse to begin a dia-
ry. On Tuesday, October 6,^1942,' he, wrote: .
"For over a vear now. it has been obvious to
US at the labor camp that we should some day
have to leave the Castle where we have been liv-
ing.- With -the arriyal of the painters, we were
presented with a fait accompli, .. . One room
after another had to be vacated." The Castle was
.being converted into a hospital to house soldiers,
mostly amputees, who had been wounded at the
front, and the Breeseners were moved to crowd-
ed conditions in some ofthe outlying buildings.
The valuable prpduce of Gross Breesen's fields
was still needed, but the. labor was to be carried
out by Russian prisoners rather than German
■ TpAV«? '-',■'..'.•"." .■•.■■-.
On October 21 the Gestapo gathered all of
the camp in the Castle to announce that, accord-
ing to Marcuse's diary, "all married couples, as
well as Single girls and several boys, all together
22 persons, are to leave Gross Breesen on Octo-
ber 31." When that day came, the entire camp
awoke at 4 a.m. Everyone helped in the loading
of baggage, then bade farewell to their friends;
who were-bound for a forest labor camp at a
nearby town called Gruessau. The group included
Abu Wolff and his parents, but not Marcuse, who
wrote, "If there was anyone to
whom the significance of this
fareweU was not clear, it be-
came abundantly so after the
'people were gone." ' '.* "• •• •. .
.V. Through the following f our
months, accprding toMarcuse's
diary, life continued at Gross
Breesen much as it had, with
the exception that werk hours
were longer and harder with.
the manpower shdrtage created
by the October deportation.
Few injured spldiers or prison-
ers arrived right away, and ther
diary is f illed with references to
food — "Today the inspector
forbade us to cook sugar beets,
claiming that we steal them'' —
and to the impending decision
on the f ate of those Jews still at
Breesen. On Wednesday, the
16th of December, the diary
reads, "The management
slaughtered a hog for the in-
spector, the owners, and the
farm employees. In the after-
noon we had a visit by the Ge-
stapo, who discussed our Situa-
tion over a good meaL".
The rest of the month of
December seemed a sort of re-
prieve of the tension overhang-
ing the whole Community. The
German inspector left for
Christmas vacation, sugar beets
were reinstated in the menu,
and onDecember 26, the entire
Community tumed out for a soc-
cermatch. On January 1, 1943,
Guenther Marcuse wrote, "We
had an uneventful New Year."
We all hope to be able to stay
here for a long time." .
In eaxly February the hope
arose that the comrades from
Gruessau might be allowed to
retum to help with the labor,
andanticipation grew at Bree-
sen that perhapis Liiey were not
to be replaced by prisoners
after all. That hope was dimin-
ished on February 12, however,
when Word came that the
Gruessau contingent had been
deported to the east. It was. not
known to Marcuse and the
Breeseners at the time, but the
group had been transported to
the concentration camp at
Theresienstadt. On February
19, the inspector brought in 40
Russian prisoners.
• The next day, all Gross
Breeseners were allowed a
"holiday,'.' and were told that
the Gestapo would reach a fmal
decision on their fate on Mon-
day, March 1. The young f arm-
ers were even ..allowed to leave-
the farm for Breslau, which
some did, until the unexpected
rbundup of all füll Jews began in
that dty on February 26. Those

who had planned to' stay in town '
for " the Weekend retumed; to
the safety of the- Castle. • But at
the end of that February, Mar-
cuse was deported with the rc;
maining ; Breeseners to ^ Ausch-
• witz, where he died a year lat-
er,on March 23, 1944. •:./'"
V ■ Somehow, . Guenther Mar-
cuse's diary found its way tahis
sister in 'Israel, who siibmitted
it to research off ices of Yad Va-
shem, the Holocaust memorial
in Jerusalem. The last entry
from the Community that was
Gross Breesen is dated Friday,
February 26, 1943. It reads: .. ■
.. "For US, the prospects of a
prolonged stay are' diminishing.
Filled . , with apprehension, we
await coining events. "

fusion of a not-very-religious,

ager who found himself an allen

person, whether in the years of
Breesen 's success as a training
Center or during its final years
as a relatively protected sanc-
tum, the castle-farm and its
Community were the source of
a spirit and intensity " that has

Dear Breesener's, spouses and Iriends,
who ^^^utd have thought 60 years ago or thereabouts, yes 60 years ago.that '/v^
\w u Id meet o nee niore a nd what a meet i ng it was .
tt V/3S George 's initiative which had planted the seed and his organising
abililyoame to the fore again v^'hen the mustering of souls Y/a.s on the agenda. He spared
no effort and the result speaks for (tsetf. Well done George and thanks a mülion.
Then it v-zas Eva 's turn to amange the accommodation and not only to devise an
itiner^r)' for the hw days, but to acquire the appropriate venues. The supert meals,
especlally the luncheon ;added indeed a fitting flavour to our underta.king. The
s
imple,ciassroom-like hut where ^A-e assembied in the evenings, enhanced by the
"goodies"which t do not have to enumerate as they shov/ up well in the picture, as vvell
as the " not canned" music, created the peifect atmosphere. ( Perhaps reminding some
of US ofsimilargatherings 60 ormore year^ ago).
Netto fongetthe location. The magnificent viev/s. The vvalks along the beachfront
and the tour to Cape May with ifcs quaintarchitecture.
What more can one say , except that this 'wa-s an expertly executed task and I am
cefta.in that there is no one who Vi-iouid not join me in expressing my gnacefuiness Co Eva
for \r\er great contribution.
Mention must be made that in addition to those sho\Yn in the accompanying
pictxe.the follov.'lngper^ons also took part: Mignon Kellennann, Manfred Lindauer and
his brother Yv'ith theirrespective spouses.
Hoping to meet again nextyear, in the meantime, best wishes.

that would help them gain entxy
into countxies like Brazil that
needed farm labor. (More de-
veloped countries had rigorous
immigration restrictions; ■ once
the quota for Germans had
been filled, even Jews fearful
for their lives.could not . emi-
grate to the United States, for
exaniple, unless relatives had
preceded them or property was
owned.)
At the outset, Breesen (pro-
nounced ^ra-zen) was more
thah a farm school, howcver.
Bondy, the educator and psy-
chologist hired by the Agency
for Jews to run the school's
program, created a rieh philo-;
sophical curriculum around his
"three pillars"- Qudaism, agri-
culture,. and' German culture)
that would be treasured all
through the lives of those stu-
dents who survived the Holo-
caust. But by 1942, Gross
Breesen had become little more
than a labor- camp, whgse agri-
cultural producta went to.feed
German soldiers,' and whose
students-tumed-laborers were
forced to wear. yellow. Stars.
• '• The 567-acre parcel of field
and woodland that surrounded
the Castle was once the domain
of a Prussian Junker, a member
of thatclass of landholding no-
blemen /whose ...sons provided
the German armywith its offi-
cers. How/ in the 1920s, the
land came into the hands of a
wealthy Polish Jew named Willi
Rohr is a matter lost to history.
The Rohrs farmed its flat, fer-
tile soil for several years, until
Hitler's rise to power' made
them flee to tlieir native Po-
land, tuming- their castle-farm
'over to the Agency for Jews.
From photographs of the lanes
lined with apple trees, the baro-
nial Castle, the peaceful pond,
and the lawns around it.it is
easy to see how Ilse Rohr, a
teen-ager, would have difficulty
departing the estate where she
was raised.. In the early years of
the farm.school she came often
as a visitor, and when 'Geranany
invaded Poland in' 1939, it was
as safe as^any. place she. could
be. CNeeding the produce and
livestock from such agricultural
comraunities; the .'Nazis initially
overlooked • the Jact-;. that they
were staffed by Jews.) My fa-
ther, astudent at, the school
from 1936 to 1938, remembers
Ilse Rohr's ''Visits and that she
was a laughing girl with dark,
bobbed hair. Indeed, the Castle
and its grounds cast a kind of
spell over all who stayed there,
enough to bring together Er ee-
sen's survivors after 50 years
at a reum'on in Israel this past
springe. Thereunion drew^some
85 Breeseners from sbc conti-
nents, some! of whom hadn't
• seen one another for 50 years,
some of whom recognized oth-
ers they thöught had .perished
as. victims_of the Nazis. Ilse
Rohr was not' among them,
however. Unlik.e the students
who were^ arrestedat;. Gross
Breesen in". 1942 ai^d- perished
at Auschwitz or Theresienstadt,

while working for the Polish re-
sistance,' tried for treason, and
hanged. . ." ' ■ ., ...."'•.•
he lectures about Le-
benskunden (designed
to meefthe cultural and
Spiritual needs of the. future set-
tlers) occurred in'the evenings
after long days in the fields, the
laundry, the cow bams. Even
before the students arrived, the
meadows. .of;. the ..Rohrs bore
oats, barley, flax, and'alfalfa.
The. fields ..fuUof,..potatoes,
beets, and sugar beets had to be
hoed. Six teams of horses and
four. of oxen were fed, watered,
worked, or shod. A German
blacksmith taught forging. A
\
Jcwisli tarpeiiiL. ..^at cai-
pentry, and (after loud pr otests)
even a few girls were alJowed
to assist in buiJding stanchions
and wagons. In the kitchen, the
girls — decidedJy a minority at
Breesen — baked the bread
and cooked all the meals.
(There were five,including the
"little breakfast" carried out to
the fields at midraoming, and
the rolls and jam for tea.) In
Summer, the boys pitched hay
in what.my father calis "chain-
gang fashion" from wagon to
haymow. Before that, the alfalfa
or timothy had been mown,
then dried by hand, the boys
wielding rakes along the win-
drows. "Das Heu ?nuss auf
dem Haken trocken!!" Herr
Gamrot, the German overseer,
would cry, meaning, "Hay has
to dry on the rakel" not on the
ground, so keep those rakes
moving. German wage-earning
farmhands like Gamrot who had
worked for the Rohrs now
worked for the Agency for
Jews, a tenuous Situation that
would not last the decade. Rela-
tions with the German staff
who lived-ina circlc of rather
primitive • houses by the Castle
were amicable, however, and
photographs from 1937 show
the children of Germans" at pic-
nics with the cliildren of Jews.
That would have been im-
possible in town society in Ger-
many in 1937. The Nuremburg
laws of ■ September 1935 had '
rendered Jews subjects in a na-
tion of Aryans. My father,
George Landecker, applied to
Gross Breesen in 1936, be-
cause it seemed to offer safety
from the persecution that
touched even Nordenburg, the
small Baltic town outside of
Koenigsberg (today Kaünin-
gi'ad, now in Russia) where he
lived. AJthough liis father, a de-
liveryman with the horse-cart
route from the raihroad, insisted
that nothing would häppen to
his family ("I received the Iron
Gross in the war!" my father re-
members him insisting in de-
fense ■ of his rights as a Ger-
man), Breesen was for my fa-
ther and'many adolescents like
him a chanceat the education
dcnied them bytlieir country. It
also offered the' tantalizing no-
tion of training for a settlement
in a foreign land, a future that
parents more reaÜstic than my
grandfather were seeking for
their children 'and themselves.
And until the Crystal Night,
Breesen offered an illusion of
safety that allowed friendship,
leaming, and a semblance of
family life away from the com-
.iion danger. Yet iL wa
completely charraed, protected
sanctum. Gross Breesen had its
own disasters that, perhaps,
foretold the trials to come.
T
he Oder River flows
tlirough Silesia in what
is today the southwest
corner of Poland, where the
boys from the castle-farm
would ride their wide-thred bicy-
clcs on Sundays for a swim.
Among them would be Dackel
(which means dachshund, a
nickname reserved for fellows
with big ears), Hannio, who
came from a wealthy Breslau
family, and Stefan, from Berlin.
There was Prinz, royally nick-
named in spite of his slovenly
habits, and Toepper, who came
to Breesen becausehe wanted
to work with animals and
wasn't permitted to work at the
ZOO. ("You see, even the mon-
keys are anti-Semitic," his fa-
ther had told him when the re-
jection letter came.) And there
was Stelle, or .Herbert Stern,
who, Dackel recalled 50 years
later, had perhaps had a premo-
nition.
• "You know,. I can't swim,"
Stelle told Dackel as they rode
their bicycles soutli along the
lanes toward the Oder, "maybe
Tm the next Todeskandidat.'!
Candidate for Death was a
populär novel amohg the boys
at Breesen that year. '
None of the boys who are
now the men who gathered.at
the reunion in Israel knows
what really happened that sum-
mer day in 1936. What they re-
member is realizing that their
friend was gone, and then div-
ing and diving over and over
again to find liim. But when
they did, Stelle had drowned.
It was the first of three
deaths that would shake the
idylljc nature of the castle-farm
Community. The next was the
bizarre death of 16-year-old
Gustel, who feil from a table
where he had been showing off,
Walking on his hands. He was
rushed to a hospital but died of
a fractured skull the same day.
The tlürd death was the re-
sult of a suicide attempt that —
perhaps inadvertently — suc-,
ceeded. Even the peculiar Situa-
tion of Je wish - teen-agers in
Nazi Germany did not render
them any different from teen-
ajgers every\vhere at any time.
It was the fasliion at Breesen
for the boys togroup together
in o'icjues, usually around one
re.spccted older trainee, such as
Hannio OUendorf, the well-off
boy from Breslau. The "Plan-
nioten," as that cliquc w^^
calied, were regarded by othei
trainees as the most arrogant
and disdainful of the cüques,
and even Bondy's Leöenskun-
den on themes like "group re-
sponsibility" and "self-aware-
ness" didn't seem to dampen
their hauteur when the boys
were all together. Perhaps be-
cause he was genuinely gener-
ous, or perhaps to secure his fa-
vored Status in the group, Han-
nio would take the members of
his Clique out for dinner when
they traveled into Breslau.
When.it was discovered that to
fund these grand meals Hannio
had been stealing cash from the
little commissary where the
trainees bought incidentals and
toiletries, his casual generosity
became a serious matter. A
clean moral character was an
essential, unspoken fourth pillar
in Bondy's beliefs for what was •
required for a future. settle-
ment, and Hannio was expelled
from the school. The matter
was kept under wraps, but
Prinz and Toepper, both mem-
bers of the Clique, remember
that Hannio took them for a
walk in the park surrounding
the Castle on the m'ght that he
left, and told them that Bondy
had Said he was unfit to be a
memberof the settlement.
Toepper remembers Bondy
rushing into his room around
midnight that night and asking
if Hannio had said where he was
going, then running to his oiiice
where he began czWing hoteis in
Breslau. Hannio was found in a
Breslau hotel room where he
had taken barbiturates. In spite
of hospitalization and stomach-
pumping, he developcd pneu-
monia and was dead within
days.
Although the tragedies dur-
ing the castle-farm's first years
bore little resemblance to the
terror that was building for
Jews in the outside wprld, they
could nothelp but serve as ad-
monition. The death of a lovcd
one. or a peer is not something
most adolescents consider. For
the Hannioten and the rest of
the trainees, the deatlis of their
friends may have heightened
their uncertainty about their
own futures." Probably, their
loss bound them more tightly to
one another and to the Commu-
nity.
T
he Summer' of 1938 had
been a hot one, with ex-
cellent haying and a pro-
digious crop of ripe grain. The
boys and girls had worked to-
gether bringing in the hay that
c^ Summer, sometimes even in moonlight, as tlie es-
prit de Corps of the group had grown to produce
such motivation. By November, the potatoes and
the beets had been harvested, and the winter
work was about to begin. Sorting potatoes in the
cold cellar and weaving stiraw mats were some of
the tasks at band, but the transition into winter
activities also permitted tirae for emphasis on
culture. An inexperienced but dihgent violin trio
had developed a repertoire large enough to pro-
vide entertainment every evening in a salon of
the Castle. On Friday evenings a traditional, if not
very devout, Shabbat ceremony preceded the
evening meal, with Services conducted by the few
boys who came frora religious famüies. OBondy
himself came frora a nonreügious family, and
Gross Breesen was one of the few settlement
schools that had not set its sights on Palestine, so
it is no surprise that the Jewish pillar was tlie
weakest.of the three.) A group of thespians was
busily rehearsing Henry TV for a production in
December.
By autumn, the idea of a Brazilian settlement
had been abandoned after two years of failed ne-
gotiations with authorities there, but a new
scheme, known as the ''Virginia plan," looked
promising. A wealthy Jewish merchant in Amer-
ica had akeady donated a farm that would, he
hoped, become a utopian experiraent in agricul-
ture and lifestyle. He gave each trainee a share
and was securing permission for them to enter
the United States. Although some students had
left Germany with families who had managed to
obtain visas for them, others were perhaps too
young to appreciate the need to do so and were
simply happy to finally be in an educational set-
ting that stimulated collegial friendsliip and crc-
ativity. The rumors of forced labor and detain-
ment caraps that circulated throughout tlie nation
were heeded by some, yet many Jews simply re-
fused to believe such camps existed. One Student
had traveled to England, attended school there
for a few weeks, and retumed to Germany to the
castle-farm, so much had she missed the group
spirit and camaraderie of Gross Breesen.
This was the climate the Gestapo interrupted
on the lOth of November, 1938, and this was tlie
setting that would never be the same.
After the Crystal Nißht, the older boys and
male staff members were transported to
the concentration camp at Buchenwald,
where Bondy and my father, who was 20 then
and had already finished his training and begun
working on a Bavarian farm, would cventually
join tliem. CMy father likes to say that their coin-
ddental • meeting at Buchenwald was the first
Gross Breesen reunion, and tliat it was a relief to •
find people he knew in the concentration camp,
not only for morale, but because tliey had
brought blankets, and he had none.) The Gestapo
placed two women, Bondy's secretary and the
farm manager's wife, in Charge of the school.,
There followed a difficult two months during
which former Breeseners, members of the Agen-
cy for Jews, and friends of-the Community within
" and without Germany struggled to get the crucial
papers that would guarantee the Breeseners' re-
lease from Buchenwald, near Weimar, half the
nation away. For this the Gestapo required docu-
ments as proof of permission to enter another
country. , To obtain tliesc, Community members
of ten had to travel several hours by train to pick
up papers at the Agency for Jews, now operating
clandestinely in Berlin.
On just such a joumey, one Student recalls,
she was carrying a satchel füll of the critical doc-
uments on the subway in Berlin and was deep in
conversation with her companion.* who had been
released from Buchenwald and was traveling to
his parents' home in Berlin.' Her task, transport-
ing the satchel füll of papers, was temporarily
forgotten, and when she and her companion.left
the car to change, trains, the suitcase with the
papers remained. With horror, they realized they
would have to approach one of the transit offi-
. dals; who — if he realized what the suitcase con-
tained or noticed the shaved head of a newly re-
leased prisoner — could easily detain them. The
girl approached the red-capped stationmaster,
and her companion pulled his hat down over his
ears. With typical German Tuechtigkett (effiaen-
cy), the suitcase was held for them at the next
Station. , xt'
Eventually, all the group arrested on Novem-
ber" 10 succeeded in emigrating over the next
months. Most of them, my father included, trav-
eled via a refugee camp in Holland to America,
where the "Virginia plan'/^of operating an agri-
cultural utopia provided a temporary refuge in
the new'country but eventually tumed into a di-
saster. Gross Breesen receiyed new students and
continued as a Jewish school and sanctuary. For
ahnost^a.year after the. Crystal Night, thefarm
training and cultural activities were carried out
much as they had been before, under Walter
Bernstein, the new director sent by the Agency
for Jews.
, . Although the Crystal Night made the world
more aware of the Jewish plight, perhaps hfting a
few coiintries' Immigration restrictions, it also
encouraged more anti-Semitism throughout Ger-
many. Even under the more attentive eye of the
..Gestapo, Gross -Breesen provided such shelter
■ from the persecütion experienced by mos t ' stu-
dents that some refüsed to leave even when the
oppbrtunity was presented.^ Eva Landecker, my
father's sistpr and a 15TyearK)ld trainee, wrote tb
her parents in. the Summer of 1939 that she had
chosen not to use her hard-won visa to accompa-
ny them to Chile ^ that autumn. After, the difficult
years in public- school in Nordenburg, she was
now happily rehearsing the role of Hermia for A
Midsummer Night's Dream.
I
n the autumn of 1939 Germany deciared war
on Poland..The.Polish border lay only an hour
by car from the castle-farm in Silesia, and the
roar of fighter planes was heard frequently. In
the Castle, black curtains darkened all the win;
dows in the evenings to conceal the' possible tar-
get'; Once, the students heard what they took to
be a plane crashing in the nearby forest in the
night. They were not allowed to look for it the
next day, and never found out whether it was
German or Polish. The production of A Midsum-
Tficr Night's Dream was placed on a hurricd
schedule so that Hermia might emigrate to Chile
in November, ilndeed;'. the" play was produced
once, and the very night of the Performance,
after the applause, Eva Landecker was taken by
carriage to the Station to join her family in Berlin,
from "where they left for Genoa, and then San-
tiago. ; . • '
.Rationing was mandatory in Germany by that
time,'and Frau Bernstein, the director's wife,
would ^bravely carry the ration cards for the
whole Community into town every week. Some
shopkeepers would ever-so-stealthily add a tiny
bit more to the rations, and Frau Bernstein would
accept UiLin. without ackjiowiedgemenl, lur the
padding of rations was a criminal offense. The
casüe-färm that had once had five meals a day
with bread and jam at teatime now survived on a
diet of potatoes and cabbage. Nonetheless', stu-
'dents feit safe and hopeful there. Guenther Mar-
cuse, a 16-year-old Student from Berlin, wrote to
his parents that autumn, "Am heaJthy and sound.
The work goes on in a pleasant atmösphere."
*
In the Winter- of 1940 an ominous change oc-
curred in the lives of the students at Gross
Breesen, as the farm school bcgan to make a
transition from training program to labor camp.
At the reunion this year in Israel, Rudi Weiss,
who survived Breesen's raost difficult years, said,
"We had, in 1940, to begin to wear thejewish
Star of David, veryprominently displayed at the
left Shoulder. It was sewn onto the item of cloth-
ing. And there;was a very strict punishment if
you tried to hide it." And all had to carry identifi-
cation papers that borea large, Hebraic "J" and a
[profile] photograph with the left ear displayed
prominently. The papers had to be signed by the
bearer with the middle name — 'Israel' for boys
and 'Sarah' for girls." Weiss is a gentle man who
lives today in' Australia and whose daughter is
married to a Germ'an in Berlin. At the reunion on
the Mediterranean coast, 46 years after the en-
forced wearing of the stars, Weiss added," You
know, that was not such a bad thin'g. It is lovely
to be caUed /Israel.'" " .■ ". *.
By May of 1940, there were abo'ut 110 train-
ees at the farm. "The preceding year, approxi-
mately the same number had succeeded in emi-
grating, 21 to Australia, six to Kenya, and about
35 to the United States. The rest had obtained
papers individually to 'other countries around the
World, with the help of their families or the work
of Bondy, Toepper, and other members of the
Community .who were frantically trying-^to get ,
Sponsors from. abroad. Although rations were be-
coming dearer andworking hours longer, and al-
though weekly Visits from the Gestapo enforced
the reality that the Community was.no longer a
training center, the ; young people of Breesen
nonetheless feit hopeful Üiat they would be able
to leave Gennany. They were aware of the ef-
forts by Bondy and the others, and many were in
contact with their relatives .overseas. The ulti-
mate dreamof Grpss Breesen, tharof a foreign
settlement, had become reality at the community
in '.Virginia, where,; although there were Prob-
lems, at least^' there were nb Nazis.. Guenther
Marcuse,'clearly unaware that the avenues of es-
cape were rapidly closing for Iiim, wrote in Janu-
ary 1941 to his family, who had settled in Lon-
don, of the "rieh fund of knowledge, both theo-
retical and practical," that he was receiving in
anticipatiori of his emigration to join the others,
he hoped, in the settlement in tlie United States.
In June of 1941 'the gas Chambers were con-
structcd at Auschwitz and designed, accord- .
ing to testimony at the Nurcmburg trials, to
accomraodatemore people and. kill them with
more Tuechtigkeit thzn X^ose already existing at
Treblinka: Byword.of mouth, Hitler passed the
Order to" Goering and Himmler, and thence to the
Gestapo, to implement his "fmal Solution." By
August 1941, the number of trainees at Breesen
had.dwindlcd to 43; tliose who were gonc had not
emicrated but had been moved to other. forest or
farm labor campsin Upper or Lower Süesia. It
was becoming ' clear to the young farmers —

oversee the work of the- trainees. That was cer-
tainly an advantage for those who continued the
long hours ofwhat had .become, as. Abu Wolff
recalls today, "farmingfor.surviyal.".. '
On August 31, 1941; Gestapo Order II B4-
1937/41 announced the official liquidation of
Gross Breesen as a training center and its con-
Version to a labor camp, the products of wluch

year, Walter Bernstein was ^emoved zs director
and sent to another forest labor camp, and then

Wolff, Guenther Marcuse, and the other trainees
continued .workingthrough. that winter of 1941-

and the Gcrmans' need for agriciiltural products
would Protect them in the Castle. -^ '

ife at the castle-farm apparently continued
V.in.this vein for almost a year. Abu Wolff
iirecalls- that, although. the Ipng hours of
work permitted'little.timeifor study, there was
nonetheless a feeling of togethemess invoked by
the sheer strengtli of survival. "We were so-
called reliable Jews," WoLff, who is today. a pros-
perous mimager of . a; Brazilian . nickel mine,.re-
. called atthe reunion'in Israel. "In .the evenings,
the young laborers tried to listen to the radio, to
keep in touch with the turmoil ofevents in the
World war that was- waging- around them; They
knew, of.course.^that Jews were being deported
^ tow'ork camps for forced labor, but they didn't

ry. On Tuesday, October 6,^1942/ he\ wrote: ..

US at the labor camp that we should some day
have to leave the Castle where we have been liv-
ing. With/, the arriyal of the painters, we were
presented with a faii accompli. . . . One room
after another had to be vacated." The Castle was
.being converted into a hospital to house soldicrs,
mostly amputees, who had been wounded at tlic
front, and the Breeseners were moved to crowd-
ed conditions in some of-the outlying buildings.
The vaJuable producebf- Gross Breesen's fields
was still needed, but the labor was to be carried
out by Russian prisoners'rather than German
• Jews. ;>•■••.-.• ::.:..• . ; . „.•:.;•.;.;.;•
On October 21 the Gestapo gathered alJ of
the camp in the castie to announce that, accord-
ing to Marcuse'sdiary, "all married couples, as
well as Single girls and several boys, all together
22 persons, are to leave Gross Breesen on Octo-
ber 31." When that day came, the entire camp
awoke at 4 a.m. Everyone helped in the loading
of baggage, then bade farewell to their friends/
who were-bound for a forest labor camp at a
nearby town called. Gruessau. The group included
Abu Wolff and his parents, but not Marcuse, who
wrote, "If there was anyone to
whom the significance of ' this
fareweU was not clear, it be-
came abundantly so after the'
people were gone." " ••' .
.'^\ Through the following four
months, accprding toMarcuse's
diary, life continued at Gross
Breesen much as it had, with
the exception that werk hours
were longer and^ harder with.
the "manpower shortage created
by. the October deportation.
Few injured spldiers er- prison-
ersarrived right away. and ther
diary is füled with references to
food — "Today the inspector
forbade us to cook sugar beets,
claiming that we steal theni" —
and to the impending decision
on the fate of those Jews still at
Breesen. On Wednesday, the
16th of December, the diary
reads, "The management
slaughtered a hog for the in-
spector, the owners, and the
farm employees. In the after-
noon we had a visit by the Ge-
stapo, who discussed cur Situa-
tion over a good meal.". .
The rest of the month of
December seemed a sort of re-
prieve of the tension overhang-
ing the whole comniunity. The
German inspector left for
Cliristmas vacation, sugar beets
were reinstated in the menu,
and on- December 26, the entire
Community turned out for a soc-
cer match. On January 1, 1943,
Guenther Marcuse wrote, "We
had an uneventful New Year.'
We all hope to be able to stay
here for a long time." .
In early February the hope
arose that the comrades from
Gruessau might be allowed to
retum to help with the labor,
and anticipation grew at Bree-
• sen that perhaps they ^yere not
to be replaced by prisoners
after all. That hope was dimin-
ished on Febi*uary 12, however,
when Word came that the
Gruessau contingent had been
deported to the east. It was. not
known to Marcuse and the
Breeseners at the tixne, but the
group had been transported to
the concentration camp at
Theresienstadt. On February
19, tlie inspector brought in 40
Russian prisoners.
• The next day, all Gross
Breeseners were allowed a
"holiday,'.' and were told that
the Gestapo would reach a final
decision on their fate on Mon-
day, March 1. The young f arm-
ers were even allowed to leave

Die Gründung des Lehrguts wurde not-

1936 der Drang nach zusätzlichen Auswan-
derungs-Vofbereitungsstellen immer grössfer
zur Fachausbildung für Jungen und Mädchen
im Alter von 15 bis 17 Jahren und für
Praktikanten bis zum Alter von 23 Jahren

jüdischem Bewusstsein vertraut gemacht
werden.
Ein Kuratorium wurde ernannt, und Prof.
Dr. Curt Bondy, ein erfahrener Jugend-
Pädagoge, wurde zum Leiter der Ausbil-
dungsstätte berufen. Die Verhandlungen mit
den verschiedenen nationalsozialistischen
Regierungsstellen führten zur Genehmigung
für die Pachtung eines Landsitzes in Gross-
Breesen, 30 km von Breslau entfernt.
Mitglieder der deutsch-jüdischen Jugend-
bewegung trafen im Mai 1936 auf dem
Lehrgut ein. Während der Ausbildung mach-
ten jedoch vielseitige Versuche, ein geeigne-
tes Auswanderungsland zu finden, keinen
Fortschritt. Alle Erwartungen wurden jäh
zunichte, als am 9. November 1938 durch
das Kristallnacht-Pogrom alle Gross-
Breesener über I« Jahre nach Buchenwald
verschleppt wurden und das Lehrgut der
Zerstörung anheimfiel.
Für die Nichtinhaftierten und auch die erst
im Dezember aus dem KZ Entlassenen kam
eine Zeit verzweifelter Suche nach Auswan-
derungsmiiglichkcitcn mit dem Ergebnis,
dass es doch vielen schliesslich gelang, ein
neues Leben zu beginnen, so in den USA,
Argentinien. Kenya, Australien, Chile. Uru-
gua>, Brasilien, England oder Holland.
Nach Jahrzehnten kamen nun einiue der
Überlebenden — kaum jemand war unter 70
— mit Ehefrauen, Kindern und Enkelkin-
dern über 80 Teilnehmer — in Shavei Zion
zu einem Treffen zusammen, das von Karl
Alexander (WastI) und Lisbeth Neumeyer,
alten Siedlern in Shavei Zion, und Ernst
Gramer aus Berlin bzw. Hamburg, vorbild-
lich organisiert worden war.
Ernst Gramer, einer der älteren Praktikan-
ten in Gross-Breesen, der Bondy zur Seite
stand und mit ihm sowie mit anderen nach
Buchenwald verschleppt worden war. war
entscheidend an der Vorbereitung des Jsrael-
Treffens beteiligt. Er war nach" den Verei-
nigten Staaten ausgewandert, kam Ende des
Zweiten Weltkriegs mit der amerikanischen
Besatzungsmacht nach Deutschland und
wurde Ghefredakteur des Organs der ameri-
kanischen Besatzungsmacht Die Neue
Zeitung in München. Nahezu 2U Jahre war er
die rechte Hand des im vergangenen Jahr
verstorbenen Axel Springer. Gramer ist jetzt
Herausgeber der Springer-Zeitung Welt um
Sonntüi^.
Während des Treffens fand eine feierliche
Zeremonie im "Otto-Hirsch-Garten" statt,
gewidmet dem Andenken des von den Nazis
ermordeten Geschäftsführers der "Reichs-
vertretung". Hans Georg Hirsch. Sohn von
Otto Hirsch, hielt die Gedenkrede. Professor
Werner T. Angress, Professor für neuere
AM DENKMAL FLR ÜEN VATER: Der Jetzt in Baltimore lebende Hans-CJeorg Hirsch sprach
zu Ehren seines im KZ Mauthausen umgekommenen Vaters Otto Hirsch, des (ieschäftsführers
der Reichsvertretung der Juden, der eine wichtige Rolle bei der (»ründung des F.ehrguts Gross-
Breesen spielte.
europäische und deutsche Geschichte, auch
ein ehemaliger Praktikant in Gross-Breesen,
sprach über die Bedeutung dieser Erfahrung.
Angress ist auch der Verfasser des (im
Aiijhau rezensierten) Buchs Generation zwi-
schen Furcht und Hoffnung. Jüdische Ju-
i>end im Dritten Reich.
Einer der ältesten 'feilnehmer war wohl
Heinz Kellermann, jetzt pensionierter Diplo-
mat des amerikanischen State Department
und überlebendes Mitglied des "Kuratori-
ums für Gross-Breesen".
Recht vielseitig, oft dramatisch und
traumatisch waren die Lebensgeschichten,
über die während des Treffens berichtet
wurde. Jochen Feingold, der viele Jahr-
zehnte Farmer in Kenya war, lebt jetzt in
Paris und ist Generalsekretär der Internatio-
nal Agricultural Producers. Wohl derein/ige
Ort auf der Welt, wo Gross-Breesen noch
als Name besteht, ist die "Hacienda N(wa
Breesen" in Parana (Brasilien), eine Kaf-
feeplantage, die von Hans und Inge Rosen-
thal geschaffen wurde.
In den Jahren seit 1945 hatten zunächst
Curt Bondy, später Ernst Gramer versucht,
die weltweiten Verbindungen durch gele-
gentliche Gross-Breesen Letters aufrecht zu
erhalten.

Alle Preise für das Inventar sind darauf aufgebaut dass neues
Material gekauft ^;ird. Durch geschickte Einkäufe, wie sie häufig in
der Nachbarschaft möglich sind, können erhebliche Ersparnisse gedacht
werden. Ich würde es unbedingt anraten, von der ausgezeichneten
Kenntnis des Agricultural County Agent Grebrauch zu ^^achen, der niir
von einigen Gelegenheitskäufen in betreff Traktor uni anderen Aus-
rüstungsgegenständen berichtete. Man sollte jedoch nur Gegenst'lnde
kaufen, die einenx ausreichenden Dienst versprechen, besonders im
Falle von Vieh würde es sehr unklug sein, minderwertige Hassen zu
kaufen. Deswegen sollten die angegebenen Preise für Yieh und Maul-
tiere bewilli>3:t werden, sodass man erstklassige Rass n anschleifen
kann, die d ie Grundlage für eine erfolgreiche Viehzucht darstellen.
rV. Bearbeitungsplan
(
Zuerst muss die Farm, #ie ein Betrieb mit angestellten Arbeitern be-
arbeitet werden, d.h. alle verfügbaren Arbeitskräfte nüssenx von
einem Inspektor geleitet werden. Es ist natürlich wfinschensv/crt , "^en
Ehrgeiz und die persönliche Neigung des Einzelnen zu unterstätzen
dadurch, dass man ihn selbstständig und verant^vortiich mitarbeiten
lä38t, z.B. 'lie Gespanne, den Traktor, das Rindvie;, 6ie Schafe un^
die Hühner längere Zeit unter ''ie Obhut dor einzelnen zu stellen. Es
ist unmöglich schon nach einem Tag, den man auf dem Besitz verV)rocht
hat, bereits einen Plan für die Fruchtfolge uni Lnndausnutzung auf-
zustellen. Aber so ein Plan muns sehr sorgf'-'ltig für eine Reihe ^^on
Jahren ausgearbeitet ^'/orden. Er sollte nit Hilfe des /vgricultur^il
County Agent und nndoren zuständigen Fachleuten ent^^'-orfen vr rdcn. Filr

A great place to wear
out your old clothes
^,x....^A^^.j/L!r^.
Enjoy the pastoral elegance of unspoiled coun-
tryside. Walk or ride through hundreds of acres
of gently sloping pastures, woodlands — long,
winding streams — perhaps see deer at the edge
of a field. Watch quail doves, and many other
wild birds in their natural habitat. Black angus
cattle graze complacently.

Trails are mapped and marked with color
Codes, allowing the hiker to choose flat land or

are in an original tenant house near the manor
house.
A stay at Hyde Park promises all the elements
for stress re lief in a quiet, isolated paradise.
Seminar Weekends will ine lüde outdoor photo-
graphy, gourmet foods, growing and using herbs,
contract and duplicate bridge. Write or call for de-
tails — and to suggest your favorite topic for a
future event.
I magine yourself transposed to 1 732, enjoying
the life style of America* s earliest Gentry Land
Grant Farmers in the handsome three-story manor
house, restored to afford present day conveniences
while retaining every possible thread of the ori-
ginal. Bedrooms are large and fumished with com-
fortable antiques representing the period from early
1700' s through early 1900' s. Continental breakfasts
include lavish hot and cold gourmet treats. In
warm weather, breakfast and tea are available on
balconies and porches. Hundred year old trees
grace the lawns and complete the picture of
ultimate tranquility.
Stories handed down to the current generation
of local people include seeing soldiers marching
down the ' 'highway ' ' in the last battles of the Civil
War — 13 miles away at Saylors Creek. The last
months of that war were active ones in the counties
of Nottoway, Amelia, Dinwiddie, Prince Edward
and Appomattox.
Nine bedrooms are available for reservation,
some with private bath, some with fireplaces. Sev-
eral parlor areas are open to guests, as is the matn
dining room, ballroom and kitchen. Game rooms
Children and pets cannot generally be accom-
modated. Some exceptions may be made depend-
ent upon concurrent activities and the preferences
of prior reservations.
A map, showing the location of Hyde Park
Farm and it's proximity to Longwood, Hampden-
Sydney, Civil War battlegrounds, antique shops,
etc. , is available on request.
Gourmet meals and picnic baskets can be made
available to guests of the inn and seminar par-
ticipants.
