Culture League of German Jews 1933/4

19641

Application for membership in the Kulturbund deutscher Juden (Culture league of German Jews, later known as the Jüdischer Kulturbund, Jewish Culture League) for the year 1933/1934. The pamphlet includes a call “to the German Jews" stressing the need for an organization that will continue to provide German Jews access to cultural works as a response to the Law for the Reconstitution of the Civil Service (Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums), which deprived many Jews of their occupation in various artistic fields such as theater, orchestras, operas, etc. It conveys the distressing realization that “countless German Jews today find the paths to the sites of spiritual and artistic elevation and cultivation either directly or indirectly closed to them.” The call continues to emphasize that the “spiritual world of human values that the German classicists have bred” is the object that is being preserved by the Kulturbund deutscher Juden. With performances such as Lessing's Nathan der Weise and Mozart's Cosi fan tutte, which are included in the program for the year 1933/1934, the Kulturbund places the same cultural repertoire that the Nazi regime prided itself with in a different context. 




Correspondence pertaining to an appeal of dismissal from a position in the Städtische Oper Berlin (Berlin municipal opera) as part of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service. For appeals the addressee is instructed to fill in an attached questionnaire where they are asked to provide information on their place of birth, religious affiliation (current and former), professional and political affiliations, etc.
