Authentic Historical Document: The Birth of the "National-German Jews" Movement (April 10, 1921)
This is a rare and highly collectible official letter from the Verband nationaldeutscher Juden (VnJ) – the Association of National German Jews.
Extreme Rarity: The "Founding Month" Factor The VnJ was established in March 1921. This document is dated April 10, 1921. Documents from the first few weeks of this controversial organization's existence are exceptionally scarce. It captures the very moment Dr. Max Naumann began his aggressive campaign within the German-Jewish community.
The Historical Conflict The letter, issued from the Berlin-Charlottenburg headquarters, outlines a direct political confrontation with the Centralverein (CV), the mainstream Jewish-German organization. It specifically mentions a planned meeting in Hanover featuring Dr. Ludwig Holländer, the executive director of the CV. The document reveals the VnJ's strategy to infiltrate and counter their rivals' influence by sending a professional speaker from Berlin.
The Signature of Dr. Max Naumann The letter bears the printed facsimile signature of the organization's founder and leader, Dr. Max Naumann. A former WWI officer, Naumann led this ultra-nationalist, anti-Zionist Jewish movement until it was eventually banned by the Gestapo in 1935.
