Abstract:
Discusses a collection of 106 documents originating from the Collective Guardianship division of the Jewish Community of Berlin, which reveal the fate of Jewish wards of the community during World War II. These documents portray levels of poverty in the Jewish population, and the social, psychological, and physical consequences. Discusses, also, the heretofore ignored phenomenon of unmarried mothers and their children, whose number increased artificially after 1933 due to measures of racial legislation. States that those at the bottom of the social scale were virtually deprived of any chance of surviving during the Nazi persecutions.
