“Judenzählung” was the name given to a Jewish census carried out in compliance with an official decree of October 1916, for the purpose of ascertaining the contribution of Jews to the war efforts of the German army. The Jewish census must be seen against the background of the rapidly growing antisemitism during the first two years of the war. The statistical results were not published. Accordingly, the Jewish census left room for antisemitic interpretations, in spite of Jewish objections. German Jews were deeply hurt by this procedure and viewed it as an attempt to exclude them from the German nation.
