Source Description
This selection of sources—a total of five documents—is taken from the files of
Hamburg’s administration of abattoirs and livestock
markets. The official files document part of the correspondence
between the heads of the
Deputation for, Commerce, Shipping,
and Trade
, the administration of abattoirs and livestock markets, and
Hamburg’s
Chief
Rabbi. All of the selected texts date from 1930 and give an insight into the debate on the Jewish practice of
kosher butchering at
the time. Today the documents are housed in the
Hamburger
Staatsarchiv.
