Within the city a vibrant Jewish community could be found with numerous schools, clubs, synagogues, libraries, and communal organizations catering to the city’s Jews. The years after the First World War saw an impressive increase in the number of Jewish youths educated in Jewish schools – and between the years 1919 and 1927 five new Jewish elementary schools were opened in Berlin – part of this growth was to meet the growing demand brought by an influx of Eastern European immigrants, but it was also simply due to the growing Jewish population. While not clearly linked to a specific institution, this book stamp is an example of one of the many cultural institutions that existed in Berlin prior to the rise of the Nazis; though today Berlin is once again home to a robust Jewish Community. This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot. There are two scrapbooks of archival markings from the books sorted at the Offenbach Depot in the Seymour Pomrenze Collection held by the American Jewish Historical Society (Call number P-933) There is a finding aid for the collection here The digitized scrapbooks are available here and here.
