Description
- Title:
- Eyewitness account by Julius Bloch regarding the vocational training centres set up by Jewish organisation
- Summary:
-
The report deals with the different training centres (“Unschichtungskurse”) which were set up in Frankfurt am Main, immediately after the boycott. Already four weeks thereafter the “Hilfsverein der Deutschen Juden” and the Jewish Community, Frankfurt were able to open training centres in agriculture, horticulture and instructional workshops for technicians, locksmiths, mechanics of precision, etc., in connection with regular courses in theoretical subjects. Soon these courses were attended by Jewish youth from all parts of Southern Germany, the Rhineland & Hesse. Hostels had to be established where they could stay & live a community life. The “Haushaltungsschule”, Koenigswarterstrasse (School for Domestic Science) had considerably to be extended and a huge capital invested to meet the steadily growing financial claims between 1933 - 1939.
