AI notes: On July 6, 1939, the Nazi regime issued decrees further restricting Jewish economic and social life in Germany, effectively forcing Jews to assume responsibility for their own welfare under oppressive conditions—a situation sometimes referred to as “self care.” By this time, Jews had been systematically excluded from most professions, commercial trade, and public services, and the state increasingly relied on the Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland (Reich Association of Jews in Germany) to manage Jewish community affairs, including welfare, health care, and social support, under strict Nazi supervision. These measures were part of a broader trajectory of anti-Jewish legislation following the 1935 Nuremberg Laws and the 1938 November Decrees, which stripped Jews of civil rights, property, and economic autonomy. By forcing Jewish communities to administer their own services while under constant oversight, the Nazis both isolated Jews from the wider German society and intensified their vulnerability, laying the groundwork for the mass deportations and exterminations that would follow during the Holocaust.
The Reichsvereinigung became the sole legal representative of Jews in Germany, coordinating services such as welfare distribution, health care, and emigration support, but it operated entirely under the authority and oversight of the Nazi regime, marking a step toward total control over Jewish life in the Reich.
