Arbeiterjugend Verlag
Stamp: "Eigentum des Archivs des Arbeiterjugend-Verlags Berlin S.W. 68, Lindenstr. 3."
In 2011, two books from the archive of the Arbeiterjugend-Verlag could be restituted to the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung.
The Arbeiterjugend-Verlag (‘Workers’ Youth Publishing House', AJV) was founded in Berlin in 1920. It issued the publications of the central executive committee of the Socialist Workers' Youth. The publishing house was broken up in 1933, and after 1945 the rights of the AJV were transferred to the publishing house J.H.W. Dietz Nachf.
The books were obtained from a depot of the Reich Security Main Office (‘Reichssicherheitshauptamt’, RSHA) at Eisenacher Str. 11-13 in Berlin Schöneberg. The RSHA had collected looted books from all over Europe there. Some of these books were distributed by the Bergungsstelle (Salvage Office) to libraries in Berlin after the end of the war in 1945.
