Abstract:
Primary sources (letters, memoirs, etc.) left behind by prominent German Jewish leaders of the Nazi era are scarce. Presents ten letters sent by Leo Baeck to New York, to Friedrich Brodnitz (son of the late Centralverein president Julius Brodnitz), who was a colleague of Leo Baeck in the Reichsvertretung until his emigration to the USA in July 1937. The publication of these letters can stimulate further research into German Jewish life under Nazi rule and trigger the systematic collection of sources produced at that time. Pp. 333-341 comprise a historical introduction by Jürgen Matthäus. Pp. 341-355 contain the letters.
