German Jewish Life During the Rise of Nazism

 As the Nazis rose to power and began excluding Jews from social and economic organizations, Jews found the need to establish their own. Roman Vishniac, an esteemed Jewish photography, was commissioned to photograph the work of these Jewish organizations. This assemblage of Vishniac’s photography shows Jewish youths in the Zionist agricultural training camp Werkdrop Niewesluis, as they prepare for life in Palestine, while this collection documents the work of German Jewish relief organizations in Berlin.
