Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland: deportation order

This order from the <em>Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland</em> to Frau D. S. Allfeld, partner in a mixed marriage, to go on a work detail out of the city (Frankfurt a. M.) is evidence of the continuation of this organisation's activities (albeit in changed and much reduced form).<br />After June 1943, when most of Germany's Jews had been deported to concentration/ death camps<em>.</em> The following features are of particular interest. The date, 8 February 1945, seems very late and suggests that the Nazis must have been desperate to recruit workers at this time. The document appears to be a contemporary copy: The author's title, <em>Vertrauensmann der Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland</em> immediately precedes the words 'signature (illegible)'. Finally, in an apparent attempt to put the recipient of the order at ease (having already threatened 'the severest of police measures' for non-compliance), the author writes that 'this order is not to be regarded as one of the typical evacuations from before <span id="sbm"></span>[<em>eine der früher üblichen Evakuierungen</em>]. This tacit recognition of the Nazi policy towards the Jews by the Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland, coupled with their continued service for the Nazi war machine is arguably the clearest evidence for the extent to which the organisation had changed.<span id="ebm"></span> <em>Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland</em>, the only organisation representative of Jewish interests in Germany, was radically re-structured. Instead of a network of branches spread throughout the whole country, the organisation relied on individual representatives who were subject to instructions from the head office based in the Jewish hospital, Berlin. Most of those working for the organisation were partners in mixed marriages. The extent to which the organisation was truly representative of the interests of Germany's Jewish community or an organ of the Nazi's machinery of persecution has been a matter of some heated debate.
