A deportation order to a Jew from Berlin by the Reich police - The first deportation stage. Berlin 1938

A deportation order from Berlin issued by the commander of the Berlin police to the Jew Alexander Frum - December 7, 1938 (in this month the deportation of Berlin Jews from the city began). The order states within four weeks of receiving the order that Frum will be prohibited from remaining in the Reich territory, and that he will be able to appeal the deportation within two weeks, and the police have the right to refuse the appeal without justification on its part. It is also written If he finds inside the Reich territory after four weeks he is subject to one year in prison and a penalty. The order is signed with the commander's signature as well as an ink stamp of the German Reich in Berlin.

Frum fled Berlin, after hardships arrived in London in 1941, and immigrated to Israel after the Holocaust.

160,000 Jews lived in the German capital Berlin when the Nazis came to power, who excelled in welfare, culture, religion and education activities that were exemplary throughout Germany. By the time the war broke out, half of them had left the city. Large Jewish businesses in Berlin were the first victims of harassment, destruction and boycott as early as the first months of Nazi rule. On "Kristallnacht" (November 10, 1938) most of the synagogues in the city were set on fire, public institutions were broken into and thousands were arrested. In December 1938, the Jews of Berlin were subject to traffic restrictions and their removal from their apartments in the city center began, then many Jews received an order similar to the one before us.
