Proposed Edits May 2021
I am planning to edit the article by adding a new section titled “Emigration Efforts” which will focus on the Association's emigration training farm, Gross-Breesen. While editing the section, I plan to utilize a chapter from Patricia Heberer's book, "Children in the Early Years of Antisemitic Persecution" which discusses the uncertainty and exclusion Jewish children faced during the Nazi regime and includes information on Gross-Bressen. Heberer is a reliable source on children during the Holocaust and their experience at Gross-Bressen because she's a senior historian at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and has her PhD in German and Central European History. Additionally, the source itself is credible because it was published in 2011, making the monograph a recent source of Holocaust research, and was published by a leading academic publisher of the humanities and social sciences.

While the article includes information about the structure and membership of the organization, it lacks concrete details regarding the association’s direct role in helping Jews emigrate from Germany. This information is important to include because it clarifies earlier statements in the article which allude to the association’s involvement in Jewish emigration without going into further detail. Thus, I plan to create a new section between the “Reichsvereinigung controlled as an organ of the RSHA” section and the “Card index of the Reichsvereinigung” section titled “Emigration Efforts” in order to discuss how the association fostered Jewish emigration out of Germany. In this section I will specifically include information about the Gross-Bressen emigration training farm, a farm established by the Reich Association in 1936 to help Jewish German young adults develop the skills necessary to emigrate. I plan to add information about the number of camp attendees, the specific skills students learned as well as the Reich Association’s initial plan to establish a settlement in the United States for the graduates of the training program. Additionally, I will discuss the eventual dissolution of the program in 1941 to provide a comprehensive picture of the program from start to end.

Altogether I plan to add about 200 words, providing a brief summary of Gross-Bressen while leaving room for further contributions in the section. If anyone wants to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my Talk Page.” (Skyelar24 (talk) 18:57, 3 May 2021 (UTC))
