Justiz und Verbraucherschutz (BMJV) Fashion and Persecution The Fate of Jewish Clothiers in the Nazi Dictatorship on the Premises of Today’s Justice Ministry

The Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection has its seat in the former Jewish ready-made garment district of Berlin. That district existed until the Nazis first confiscated the businesses and then murdered their owners. Our Ministry stands in the service of law and justice. Those who work in the Ministry today should be aware of the injustice done to people who previously worked on the same premises. I therefore requested Humboldt University to do a study on the history of our building and the fate of its inhabitants.
