This was the terse formulation used by the National Association of Jews in Germany (Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland) in the 1940s when it had to "propose" to the county court that a guardianship be terminated. It was the closing comment for most of the 106 extant individual case files of the collective guardianship (Sammelvormundschaft) that had been administered by the Berlin Jewish Community. While these files contain numerous indications that the original number must have been far larger, 2 that incompleteness does not detract in any way from the historical value of what has been preserved. In particular, the materials cast new light on a phenomenon that has tended to be treated only marginally in historical research on the Berlin Jewish Community: poverty within the Jewish population, with all the concomitant social, psychological, and material consequences for the families involved. 1 The German original of this article was published in "Elend und Furcht im Dritten Reich: Aus den Akten der Sammelvormundschaft der Jüdischen Gemeinde zu Berlin," Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaft (45) 1997, pp. 617-641. 2 Thus, though there are occasional references to other wards, these files have not been preserved. Moreover, in the collection of existing files, which exist in alphabetical order according to the last names of the children, a number of initial letters are lacking. The material is part of the files of the Berlin Jewish Community (Jüdische Gemeinde zu Berlin) deposited in the General Archives of German Jewry, housed since 1958 in the German Central Archives in Potsdam, and now located in the archives of the foundation "Neue Synagoge Berlin-Centrum Judaicum" (CJA 1, 75 A Be 2, Nos. 337-457); see Barbara Welker, "Das Gesamtarchiv der deutschen Juden," in Hermann Simon and Jochen Boberg, eds., Tuet auf die Pforten. Die Neue Synagoge 1866/1995, exhibition catalogue (1995). The Reichsvereinigung, established in February 1939, and supervised by the Gestapo, was the compulsory organization of all "Jews by race" (Rassejuden) in Nazi Germany. From that time on, the Jewish communities were termed "Kultusvereinigungen" and functioned as local branches of the Reichsvereinigung until its official disbandment in June 1943. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Barbara Welker, director of the CJA, and her associate Sabine Hank for their kind and competent assistance.
