German Minority Census, 1939

German Minority Census, 1939

410 919 записей

This collection contains the names of all individuals listed in the 1939 census of Germany who lived in a household where at least one person in the household had a Jewish grandparent. Many of these people were killed in the Holocaust and this census is the last written trace of them. These approximately 410,000 individuals come from the supplement census cards that recorded each person’s Jewish background. Information listed may include: name, maiden name, birth date, birthplace, residence, death date, death place, place of imprisonment, deportation or emigration, and whether they were a Holocaust victim. Some of this information comes from the original census cards, and some of this information was researched and annotated much later. This collection is provided in partnership with Tracing the Past (<a href="https://www.mappingthelives.org">mappingthelives.org</a>). Historical Information The 1939 census of Germany included specific race-based questions. The census required each head of household to fill out a supplemental card where the Jewish background of each household member’s four grandparents was indicated. The supplemental cards of households where at least one person in the household had at least one Jewish grandparent were collected and sent to the Reich Genealogy Office. By the 1990s these cards had been transferred to the German Federal Archives. Collection Coverage The census covered the German annexations of Austria and the Sudetenland. Districts now covered by Poland and Russia (such as Silesia, Pomerania, and Königsberg/Kaliningrad) were also included in the census. Due to time and custodial transfers, not all of the supplemental cards are available—the collection is estimated to be about 87% complete. Areas with missing cards include Thüringen, the Rhine Province, Erfurt district, Minden district, and several districts in Bavaria. Where to locate original copies Microfilmed copies of these cards are available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the Leo Baeck Institute in New York, and at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. In Germany, a digital version of these cards is available at the Federal Archives in Berlin-Lichterfelde. In Israel, a copy is available at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.

Leo BaeckResidence: 1939 - Schöneberg, Berlin, Germany

Leo Baeck was a German rabbi, scholar, and theologian. During the Nazi era, Baeck worked to protect and defend the Jewish community. He was deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp on 27 January 1943. He survived, and after the war relocated to London. His post-war work included interfaith dialogue, and establishing an institute for the historical and cultural studies of German-speaking Jewry.
