Collection of documents of the Central Fund of the Temple Society [Zentralkasse der Tempelgesellschaft] and the Templer Bank [Bank der Tempelgesellschaft] in Jerusalem, and a German passport issued to Templer Society member Ida Neth with stamps of the Nazi government. Palestine, 1930s. German and some English.
1. Letter from Otto Hennig to Templer Society member Jacob Weiss of the German Colony in Jerusalem, secretary of the Central Templer Fund. The letter is about a financial matter between them. It was sent from Sarona in December 1936 and closes with the greeting "Heil Hitler."
Sarona is the fourth colony that the German Templers established in Palestine in the second half of the 19th century. The first branch of the Nazi party in Palestine was established there when the Nazis rose to power in Germany.
1–36. Thirty-six documents of Templer Society member Jacob Weiss. Most of the documents. which were sent to Weiss in the mid-1930s by the Templer Bank and the Central Templer Fund in Jerusalem, deal with his bank accounts: promissory notes, fund transfers, payment orders, insurance and distribution of dividends. The documents contain stamps and signatures of the bank and of the fund.
Some documents, sent from the banks and other organizations (Deutsche Jamaica, Allianz und Stuttgarter Verein Handelsgesellschaft, and others) to the Templer Bank in Jerusalem, have to do with Weiss’s business accounts.
38. German passport issued to Templer Society member Ida Neth by the German consulate in Jerusalem on August 30, 1939 (the day before the Nazi invasion of Poland). The stamps on the passport show that Ms. Neth obtained a visa the day after the passport was issued, and sailed that same day from Haifa, via Greece, and arrived in Poland on September 7, 1939. Ida Neth’s death certificate, from 1976, is atached to the passport.
