The focus is on the "guided" transit of Russian Jews through the German Reich in the crisis year 1881/82. The logistical optimization of Jewish emigration was closely intertwined with the defense work against the anti-Semitic "Berlin Movement" that was forming at the same time. In addition to the presentation of central German-Jewish actors, lines of development up to the founding of the "Hilfsverein der deutschen Juden" in 1901 are outlined.
