"@en . . . "Correspondence with Gesellschaft für Christlich-Jüdische Zusammenarbeit Hamburg"@en . "152 letters"@en . "In the aftermath of the Holocaust numerous local and regional active Gesellschaften für Christlich-Jüdische Zusammenarbeit (societies for Christian-Jewish cooperation) had been established throughout postwar (West) Germany. They are invested in Jewish-Christian collaboration and the fight of Antisemitism, and are represented in the umbrella organisation Deutscher Koordinierungsrat der Gesellschaft für Christlich-Jüdische Zusammenarbeit. This is the correspondence with the Hamburg chapter."@en . . "The file’s main correspondent is German journalist Erich Lüth, one of the initiators of the Gesellschaft für Christlich-Jüdische Zusammenarbeit in Hamburg, and director of the city’s press office.

The correspondence covers a wide range of topics with most of them only briefly touched. Discussed subjects are Lüth’s trips to Israel; postwar Antisemitism in West Germany, particularly in several publications or movies and a wave of antisemitic incidents in 1959/60; the public view on refugees; visits and public talks of the Library’s staff members Alfred Wiener and Eva Reichmann in Germany; the involvement of the Hamburg Chapter in the Library’s eyewitness testimony project; the foundation of an Anne Frank youth group as well as an Anne Frank youth centre for Jewish refugees; and the design of the area of the former Neuengamme concentration camp.

Beside letters the correspondence contains the manuscript of a speech given by Erich Lüth on a radio show, a press cutting, a post card, invitation cards, a leaflet, a statement on questionable court decisions in the case of antisemitic agitator Friedrich Nieland, several notifications of the Gesellschaft, and a memo of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Neuengamme.
