A quarter of the tenants in the Hackesche Höfen at the beginning of the Third Reich were of Jewish origin. From 1912 to 1933, the home for girls of the Berlin chapter of the Jüdischer Frauenbund (founded in 1904) was located there, and social work was one of its most important fields of work. Here, single, gainfully employed young girls could find accommodation for little money. At that time, many Eastern European Orthodox Jews/Jüd:innen fled the Russian pogroms and brought Yiddish theater and music to Berlin.*
