German Committee for the Liberation of Russian Jews
The German Committee for the Liberation of Russian Jews was founded in August 1914 by Max Bodenheimer with Franz Oppenheimer , Adolf Friedman and Leo Motzkin in order to campaign for the socio-political liberation of the Jews living in the Russian Empire and to ensure their protection from pogroms . In November 1914 it was renamed the Committee for the East .
The committee was initially supported by the German Reich , but since there was no Jewish uprising against the Russians, the Germans soon lost interest.
