Before us:
1. "Resolutions", resolutions of the Conference for the Relief of German Jewry, publication no. 5.
"The Conference of Representatives of Jewish communities in all parts of the world records its belief that among the countries to which Jewish refugees from Germany can look for the opportunity of permanent settlement and absorption Palestine occupies a pre-eminent position […] The conference hopes that His Majesty's Government will do everything in its power to enable the largest possible number of Jews from Germany to settle in Palestine".

2. "Report of Reconstruction Committee", publication no. 6.
The report was written by Prof. D. Cohen and Dr. Max Gottschalk and describes the financial and social difficulties facing the Jews of Germany after the Nazis rise to power. The report suggests giving financial support to rehabilitating the institutions of the community, vocational training and giving loans to businesses.
Good condition. A few stains.
