Key Documents of German-Jewish History
A Digital Source Edition

1. Licensing

The in­tro­duc­tions and source in­ter­pre­ta­tions are self-​contained con­tri­bu­tions that are as­signed a per­ma­nent URL and a Cre­ative Com­mons li­cense (CC li­cense). There are sug­ges­tions for ci­ta­tion at the end of each ar­ti­cle. All source in­ter­pre­ta­tions and in­tro­duc­tions in­clude the au­thor’s name and sug­ges­tions for ci­ta­tion. The texts and their trans­la­tions are gen­er­ally pub­lished under the li­cense “CC BY-​NC-ND 4.0” (Name: au­thor name, ar­ti­cle, in: Key Doc­u­ments of German-​Jewish His­tory, date, URL). This al­lows for sec­ondary use of the unedited text on con­di­tion of full ci­ta­tion for aca­d­e­mic and other non-​commercial pur­poses.[2] When­ever a text is used, the in­for­ma­tion on copy­right and per­mis­sion given in the sug­ges­tions for ci­ta­tion must be in­cluded.

2. Public domain

For sources that are no longer pro­tected by copy­right, the pure text ver­sion is not sub­ject to li­cens­ing (un­less oth­er­wise noted). This means the pure text ver­sion of a work (with­out the an­no­ta­tions in­cluded in the XML and HTML ver­sions) may be used for such sources in the sense of pub­lic do­main with­out any lim­i­ta­tions.

3. Digitized Content

This project was made pos­si­ble by co­op­er­a­tion with sev­eral archives and li­braries that made se­lected works from their hold­ings avail­able for dig­i­ti­za­tion. Un­less ex­plic­itly noted oth­er­wise, the fol­low­ing ap­plies: dig­i­tized im­ages are dis­played on the con­di­tion of schol­arly and pri­vate use of the image data only. Com­mer­cial use is strictly pro­hib­ited, and any dis­play of an image must in­clude in­for­ma­tion on the in­sti­tu­tion own­ing it. Pub­li­ca­tion of dig­i­tized im­ages by third par­ties is per­mis­si­ble only after ob­tain­ing per­mis­sion from the in­sti­tu­tion own­ing them and in ac­cor­dance with their rules and reg­u­la­tions.

The copy­right to the dig­i­tized im­ages fea­tured in the source edi­tion is held by the archives and li­braries men­tioned. Un­less ex­plic­itly noted oth­er­wise, the fol­low­ing ap­plies: for ques­tions con­cern­ing the re­pro­duc­tion of im­ages in pub­li­ca­tions, etc. please con­tact the in­sti­tu­tions hold­ing them di­rectly.

4. Long-term Preservation

This project is a long-​term un­der­tak­ing, and reg­u­lar up­dates and ad­di­tions are in­tended. In order to en­sure the per­ma­nent dis­play of its con­tent, it will be archived in the My­Core repos­i­tory at Ham­burg Uni­ver­sity’s Re­gionales Rechen­zen­trum (RRZ). DOI en­sure the long-​term citabil­ity of dig­i­tal con­tent in­de­pen­dent of spe­cific in­sti­tu­tional re­spon­si­bil­ity or tech­ni­cal in­fra­struc­ture.

5. Rights and Permissions

Copy­right in­for­ma­tion is given for all ma­te­r­ial, all texts cre­ated for the project have been as­signed CC li­censes, and in­for­ma­tion on the hold­ing in­sti­tu­tion is pro­vided for all sources in order to cre­ate the high­est pos­si­ble level of trans­parency for users.

Sources and tran­scripts in­clude in­for­ma­tion on per­mis­sions and copy­right as stip­u­lated by the re­spec­tive hold­ing in­sti­tu­tion. Down­loads of sources are per­mit­ted for re­search pur­poses but not for fur­ther dis­tri­b­u­tion or pub­li­ca­tion. For ma­te­r­ial pro­tected by copy­right the op­tions for use are lim­ited. The In­sti­tute for the His­tory of Ger­man Jews is not li­able for vi­o­la­tions against ex­ist­ing terms of use.

6. Disclaimer

The In­sti­tute for the His­tory of the Ger­man Jews does not guar­an­tee the com­plete­ness or ac­cu­racy of the con­tent pro­vided, nor does it guar­an­tee un­in­ter­rupted func­tion­ing of the web­site or per­ma­nent ac­ces­si­bil­ity of the in­ter­net ap­pli­ca­tion.

With par­tic­u­lar re­gard to para­graphs 86a and 130 of the Crim­i­nal Code (StGB) of the Fed­eral Re­pub­lic of Ger­many, we state that the con­tent dis­played on these pages does not serve a pro­pa­gan­dis­tic pur­pose, ad­ver­tise for banned or­ga­ni­za­tions or as­so­ci­a­tions, deny or down­play Na­tional So­cial­ist crimes, nor is it dis­played with the pur­pose of de­bas­ing human dig­nity. The con­tent dis­played on these pages (in words and im­ages) ex­clu­sively serves the pur­poses of re­search in the areas of his­tory, the so­cial sci­ences, and cul­tural stud­ies as de­fined in para­graph 86 StGB, sec­tion 3. It is pub­lished with the in­ten­tion of im­part­ing knowl­edge that will en­cour­age in­tel­lec­tual in­de­pen­dence and a will­ing­ness to take re­spon­si­bil­ity among all cit­i­zens and thus serve the pur­pose of pro­mot­ing their po­lit­i­cal ma­tu­rity.
