World Jewish Relief is a British aid organization that was founded in 1933 to support German Jews who had to suffer under the National Socialist regime. It played one of the main roles in organizing the Kindertransporte, which helped to bring about 10,000 German as well as Austrian children out of the Third Reich. Today, World Jewish Relief works on various social projects in a global context.

The Council of Christians and Jews (CCJ) is a voluntary organization that works to combat anti-Semitism and other forms of intolerance in Britain. It was founded in 1942 by Grand Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz and Archbishop William Teple in response to Nazi oppression of Jews*to help them.

From Kurwickstrasse 5, the Jewish School moved to Staulinie 17 on Dec. 19, 1939, which was its last location before its dissolution in April 1940.

On 28.8.1939, the Jewish School moved with the remaining twelve pupils* to a tiny room at Kurwickstraße 5. This building also housed the Jewish Community Center and a room that was to function as an improvised synagogue. On Dec. 19, 1939, the school moved to Staulinie 17, the last location before its dissolution in April 1940.

The former Jewish school carried out several changes of location during its existence: After the locations in Peterstraße 6 and in Nordstraße 2 Alteneschstraße 15 (former Catholic school) followed as the seat of the Jewish school in Oldenburg. In July 1939, the decree was announced that all public Jewish schools were to be dissolved. Nevertheless, the Jews had to provide for the education of their children, but from now on in the form of private schools. The state was no longer willing to pay for the education of Jewish children.
