Dr. Heinrich Stahl was today re-elected president of the Jewish Community Council at that newly constituted body’s first meeting. (Elections to the council had been held last November under supervision of the Gestapo, which virtually dictated its membership by rejecting prominent Zionist nominees and ordering them replaced by others less well known.)
The following executive was elected: Dr. Alfred Klee, Georg Kareski, Karl Fuchs, Moritz Rosenthal, Adolph Schoyer and D.P. Sulzberger.
Five of the council’s 41 members were absent from today’s meeting.
Dr. Stahl in an address pointed out that the Berlin Jewish community was the center of the entire Jewish communal life in Germany and was helping in emigration, charity and readjustment of Jews to new professions.
