Club archive

Over the 30 years of the association's history, numerous documents have accumulated, including minutes, event reports, and extensive correspondence between the board and descendants worldwide. In addition to several meters of research documents relating to families, emigrants, and victims of the Nazi regime, the association's archive also contains research on exhibitions, event records, financial statements, newspaper articles, and minutes. As part of the generational transition, the analog and digital archives will be moved from the private archives of the board members to the new association archive room in the attic of the Rexingen town hall in 2026, so that they can be used for research and to answer inquiries as needed.

The local archive

The local archives in Rexingen contain records with valuable information on the situation of Jewish and Christian families. For example, there are records of weddings, of the personal assets brought into the marriage by each partner, last wills, the manner in which inheritance was divided after a death, etc. These handwritten records, mainly from the nineteenth century, have been transcribed and are almost all available in legible form. We help those entitled to access them in their search for family records.
