Regulations of the Baruch Auerbach Jewish Orphans' Home in Berlin.
The orphans' home was founded by Baruch Auerbach in 1833 (at first it operated from Auerbach's home; later it expanded and moved to new premises in Berlin). In 1940 the management of the orphans' home was transferred to the Jewish community. Children from other facilities whose property had been confiscated or forcibly sold as part of the Aryanization of Jewish property were transferred to the home. In 1942 the Nazis deported most of the home's orphans to Riga and Auschwitz.
