Correspondence regarding Dokumentenwerk - with Hellmann, Henry

Beginning in 1954 The Wiener Library and the Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) in Munich worked jointly on an edition of documents (Dokumentenwerk) regarding the persecution of Jews in the Nazi era. Initiated by the Ministry of Interior (BMI) and funded by the Federal Agency for Homeland Service (BHD) this project was part of larger journalistic endeavors by these two authorities to fight and prevent Antisemitism in West Germany. Due to ongoing problems the Dokumentenwerk was cancelled eventually in May 1963.

Henry Hellmann (born Heinrich Jakubowicz, 1906-1984) was a British Journalist of Jewish-German descent. He had come to England as a refugee in the late 1930s.
