The German Committee for the Freeing of Russian Jews (German, 'Deutsches Komitee zur Befreiung der russischen Juden') was created in August 1914 by Max Bodenheimer[1] with Franz Oppenheimer, Adolf Friedman and Leo Motzkin to lobby for the socio-political liberation of Jewish people living in the Russian Empire and ensure their protection from pogroms.
In November 1914 it was renamed the Committee for the East.
[2] The Committee was initially supported by the German Empire but as no Jewish insurrection arose against the Russians the Germans soon lost interest[3] This article about an organisation based in Germany is a stub.
