The Centralverein deutscher Staatsbürger Jüdischen Glaubens was founded by German Jewish intellectuals in 1893 in Berlin, with the intention of opposing the rise of Anti-Semitism in the German Empire. Commitment to the German Nation was an important part of the CV's agenda - the members saw themselves primarily as German citizens with their own religion. Consequently, the CV repudiated Zionism. The organisation was closed by the Nazis in 1938 -- (eNotes)
