Jüdische Kulturbund

The Jüdische Kulturbund was an organization founded in Nazi Germany in 1933 that allowed Jewish artists, musicians, and performers to continue their work under strict restrictions. It aimed to sustain Jewish cultural life while complying with oppressive racial policies, providing entertainment and artistic expression within a controlled environment. The organization operated until 1941, when increasing persecution and deportations made such activities impossible. Despite its limitations, the Kulturbund represented a form of cultural resilience and an attempt to preserve Jewish identity amid mounting persecution.
