The Union, moreover, passed a resolution dismissing the Executive and replacing it by an Emergency Committee. It also requested Georg Tietz and Zalman Schocken, proprietors of two of the largest department stores in Germany to resign from the organization.
Zalman Schocken is prominent in Zionist activity in Germany.
