On July 26, 1945, the Jewish Community Wiesbaden declared the resumption of its business at Geisbergstra\u00dfe 24. The re-establishment, also from a religious point of view, took place on December 22, 1946. One of the greatest challenges for the first board of directors was to provide for the displaced persons.<\/h3>\n

On July 21, 1945, Rudolph Jesinghaus, head of the Municipal Care Center for the Politically, Racially and Religiously Persecuted in Wiesbaden, informed Lt. Boardman, head of the Displaced Persons Department of the American military government, that the Wiesbaden Jewish Community had re-established itself and wished to begin its cultural work. Jesinghaus asked Boardman for the necessary permission to do so, which was granted only a few days later. On July 26, the community declared in a small newspaper advertisement that it would resume its business at Geisbergstra\u00dfe 24.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
