The Heritage of German Jewry in Great Britain: The Centralverein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens and the Association of Jewish Refugees

Abstract This article aims to demonstrate the continuity between the Centralverein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens in pre-National Socialist Germany and the Association of Jewish Refugees in Britain after its foundation in 1941. That continuity was reflected most obviously in the personnel of both organizations, such as Eva G. Reichmann and Alfred Wiener, as well as in their institutional structures and the agencies that they created for the benefit of their members. It also points to the cultural continuity of the values espoused by the Jews of Germany when transferred to Britain.
