La foi chrétienne. d'apres principes de la reforme

At the end of the war, around 8,000 volumes were found in the editorial offices of the Nazi newspaper ‘Der Stürmer’ and on Julius Streicher's Pleikershof estate. These holdings were confiscated by the US military government in June/July 1945 and were to be handed over to the newly constituted Jewish community. As the community had no use for the books at the time, it decreed that the books should be given on permanent loan to the Jewish Community of the City of Nuremberg. The holdings were handed over to the Nuremberg City Library in the summer of 1945.

Most of the holdings originated from former Jewish property and had been confiscated from their previous owners by National Socialist groups between 1933 and 1945 as a result of persecution. At the end of the war, they were stored in the editorial offices of the anti-Semitic hate newspaper ‘’Der Stürmer‘’ (Pfannenschmiedsgasse 18) and Julius Streicher's estate ‘’Pleikershof‘’. The stocks were confiscated by the US Army in 1945 and handed over to the newly constituted Jewish community. The latter decreed that the books were to remain in their possession, but were to be given on permanent loan to the Jewish Community of the city and kept in the city library.
