Bureau for Statistics of the Jews
The Bureau for Statistics of the Jews was an association founded in Berlin at the beginning of the 20th century with the aim of promoting research into the social conditions of Jews in all countries using the means and methods of scientific statistics.
The later chairman Alfred Nossig founded an association in Halensee in 1902 after many years of preparatory work, which in 1903 published the collection of Jewish statistics . After winning the large Jewish organizations and communities for the purposes of the association and promising their financial support, the association set up a permanent office in Berlin on October 1, 1904. Local groups of the bureau emerged u. a. in Frankfurt am Main, Munich and Berlin.
In particular, the directors Jacob Segall and Arthur Ruppin made important contributions to the history of German Jewry. From January 1905 under Ruppin's editorial office, the Bureau published the monthly magazine for demography and statistics of the Jews , in which, in addition to statistics, well-known anthropologists such as Felix von Luschan , Maurice Fishberg , Arkadius Elkind and Samuel Weißenberg were represented with treatises on the anthropology of the Jews.
