While stories of arrests and persecutions of Jews continue to pile up, and further government measures to drive Jews out of business are promulgated, the organized Berlin Jewish community reports an extraordinary growth in its membership. Numbers of Jews who had previously withdrawn from the organization, as well as converts to Christianity, are returning to their Jewish affiliation. Many well known persons are among them, voluntarily joining the Kehillah and taking part in the work of the community.
