Udo Bayer – CARL LAEMMLE
Laemmle’s List – Affidavits save lives*
Before Carl Laemmle’s death on 24 September 1939, one of his great
humanitarian deeds was the granting of affidavits for persecuted Jews.
He wrote that he had never felt so much sympathy for any one thing in
his life, and had only done what his heart had dictated. Until now the
only published
information on this has been the statement by the former
chief executive of the Jewish Oberrat in Stuttgart, J. Wissmann,1
who mentions more than three-hundred affidavits. The most important
source of documentation is to be found in the National Archives in
Washington DC. The discovery of these documents was accomplished
toward the end of 1994 thanks to Karin Schick of Laupheim. Her research
brought to light 45 documents consisting mostly of Laemmle’s
correspondence with American officials from November 1936 until
May 1939. At times the actual files were not available, only index cards
with date and names of the persons concerned; the actual files can be
found in a branch of the Archives in Maryland. We could not determine
the reason for the gaps in the material stored in the Archives.
It is acknowledged that the persecution of Jews in the territories controlled
by the Third Reich was unique, and is hardly comparable to
the many reasons for migration and asylum
seeking today. The one
and only reason for their persecution was their ethnic origin, and was
completely unrelated to any of their actions; for them this reason was
immutable. Emigration was thus their sole option to escape with their
lives. In spite of increasing obstacles set up by German authorities, and
in spite of increasing restrictions enacted by possible guest countries,
emigration was possible to some extent until the second half of 1941......

Acknowledgements
In 2017, on the occasion of his birth’s 150th anniversary, the successful founder of Universal Studios from Laupheim, Carl Laemmle, is receiving widespread recognition in Germany, the USA and Japan. His life’s humanitarian achievements are being commemorated in the exhibition “Carl Laemmle presents”. As shown in this essay from Udo Bayer, Carl Laemmle used his power, his influence and his money, in order to secure affidavits for hundreds of persecuted Jews, making possible their flight from the National Socialist state. With the publication of the historian Ben Urwand’s book “The Collaboration: Hollywood’s Pact with Hitler” in the USA in 2013, many people, unaware of the truth, once more adopted a negative perception of the Jewish film producer Laemmle. In 1998, however, the film historian Neil Gabler had already described the difficult situation of the Jewish pioneers in Hollywood during the Nazi period in his comprehensive work “An Empire of their own – how the Jews invented hollywood”, published in German in 2004 under the title “Ein eigenes Reich – Wie jüdische Emigranten Hollywood erfanden”.....
