Jewish Politics and Rescue: The Founding of the Council for German Jewry

David Silberklang

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Following the promulgation of the Nuremberg Laws in Germany in September 1935, Jewish leaders in Britain sought a far-reaching and unprecedented solution to the plight of German Jewry. Zionists and non-Zionists there bridged their ideological differences to formulate a plan, in dose consultation with German Jewish leaders, for the emigration of most of German Jewry in four years. The collaboration of American Jewry and of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, essential for the plan's success, was solicited. Months of negotiations resulted in the creation of the Council for German Jewry, with the task of coordinating implementation of a modified version of the British plan.
