The Jews of Thuringia & Home Purchase Contracts

Please note: This page is under construction. Thank you for your patience.

The list at the right is one of many identifying the Jews who were forced to sign “Home Purchase Contracts” before their deportation to Theresientadt Ghetto. The various amounts in the “Summe” column reveal the hypocrisy of the plunder. The amount is exactly the amount of money that the individuals possessed. The Nazi Regime intended to take every last ‘pfennig’ from their targets.

Based on these lists and other documents, the table below identifies 387 Jews deported to Theresienstadt Ghetto from the villages, towns, and cities of Thuringia who were forced to sign a Home Purchase Contract before deported to Theresientadt Ghetto.

To make best use of the table, please note:
1. The table can be sorted according to individual elements.
2. The links to the individual names take you to the profile in the geni.com database and more information.
3. “HEV” means “Heimeinkaufsvertrag,” the German word for Home Purchase Contract.
4. An entry with an “Z” indicates that the actual contract has not been found.
