pany it was, since it is not mentioned in the address books between 1935 and 1938. The
second company is mentioned in the address-book for the first time in 1940. This company
dealt with textiles. The owners were Kommerzienrat Georg Günther and his wife. The
address of the company was Dresden A 16, Gabelsbergerstraße 25, and after 1945
Uhdestraße 33. The company existed until 1950. There is no evidence in the state archive
that either of the two companies published this board game. However, the company
address written on the rule sheet for “Juden Raus!” reads: Günther & Co, Dresden, A 16.
Little information can be gathered about Rudolf Fabricius, the game’s distributor.
From the archive of the city of Bad Neusalza-Spremberg comes the information that
Fabricius (born 1902) was a dealer in food products. Since November 25, 1938 he registered
as “Herstellung, Fabrikation, Vertrieb und Großhandel von und mit Neuheiten”.
The flier promoting the game distributed by Fabricius was included in the donation of
the game to the Institute of Contemporary History and Wiener Library. The flier dates
December 5, 1938 and states that the game was now being sold at 33% off its regular
price (figure 6).
