A personal report on a journey to Berlin in 1949, the extreme destruction, the differences and difficulties caused through the division into East and West Berlin (p.4-9).The second part of the report is mostly concerned with the situation of the Jews in Berlin. There were 7,500 in 1949 (173,000 in 1925), 1,100 holding a professional job (p.10).

The report details various administration centres in Berlin; one common centre for the Jewish Community of all districts (p.11-12). New Jewish Hospital (p.9, 14-15), which now has many non-Jewish patients as it is too large for the requirements. The synagogues are also too large; same in Hamburg (p.9, 12-13, 15, 19). Preaching against the black market stopped (p.6, 13). The Jews in Berlin are aware of the danger connected with their stay in Germany; they all agree that there is no future there for their children (p.10).
