In 1939 all German Jews had to become members of a newly founded
Reich Association. The Jewish functionaries of this organization
were faced with circumstances and events that forced them to walk a
fine line between responsible action and collaboration. They had
hoped to support mass emigration, mitigate the consequences of the
anti-Jewish measures, and take care of the remaining community.
When the Nazis forbade emigration and started mass deportations in
1941, the functionaries decided to cooperate to prevent the
"worst." In choosing to cooperate, they came into direct opposition
with the interests of their members, who were then deported. In
June 1943 all unprotected Jews were deported along with their
representatives, and the so-called intermediaries supplied the rest
of the community, which consisted of Jews living in mixed
marriages. The study deals with the tasks of these men, the fate of
the Jews in mixed marriages, and what happened to the survivors
after the war.
