Biographical Note

The BDJJ was a national organization for Jewish children and teenagers, who came together for socialization, hikes, retreats and to learn about Jewish culture. There were five youth groups in Stuttgart: One each for the younger boys and girls, one each for teen-agers, and a co-ed one for the 17- 21 year-olds. After 1937 meetings were no longer permitted.
