Since the cultural goods were for the most part in the possession of German bereins, the question of the treatment of the association's dealings with the likes in the intergovernmental treaties with Estonia and Latvia was particularly important. In October 1939, the non-profit-making associations and associations were liquidated according to Latvian law. Immediately after the conclusion of this contract, the authorities in Latvia ordered the liquidation of all about 180 German associations in the country. This liquidation was not complete at the time of the invasion of the Rufsen. In the same Article 13, it was also laid down that the movable property of associations, associations, etc. shall be treated in the same way as the movable ownership of natural persons. On 9 May 1940, therefore, an agreement was reached between the Government of Estonia and the German legation in Reval, which deals with the associations and associations. Under this agreement, the movable property of the individual associations, whose organs until the 12th anniversary of the birth of the German envoy, became the property of each association. In June 1940, decisions were taken to transfer to the »Baltendeutsche Hilfswerk e. V.« in Gdańsk, while the immovable assets of the associations were to be liquidated by the German Trust Administration, whereby the Estonian government agreed to grant a global acquisition of the immobil property. On the basis of a report by the German legation in Reval dated 3 July 1940, 11 associations in Estonia were asked to liquidate and transfer their assets to Germany up to the pre-written deadline of 12 June 1940, while 12 other associations submitted applications to the Estonian Ministry for the convening of general meetings or liquidation. 11 other associations decided not to liquidate and remain in Estonia. The regulation of the treatment of the cultural goods of the other resettled ethnic groups is apparent from the contractual negations listed elsewhere. Whereas during the disposal and the proper processing of the collected cultural goods tasks of the Reichsführer 43, Reichskommissar für die Festigung deutschen Volkstums, in the future still Reichssippen= amtes and which will explain its guidelines, in dealing with the archives, genealogical collections and Archibverwaltung Kirchenbücher is intended to place them in the responsible material processing of relevant Reichsstellen, to which also their final storage is to be transferred. The Reichsführer ż, Reichskommissar für die Festigung deutschen Volkstums, has made clear decisions regarding the jurisdiction of the Reichssippenamt and the Reich Archive Administration, in which the bases of an empire-sized settlement that came into force after the war were already taken into account. The State Archives Administration is responsible for the processing of archived goods and all archive-ready materials. However, since the church books represent an indispensable instrument of population policy and the care of families, but not an archive item to be treated from a historical point of view, the recording of the church records and their processing is the most important task of the Reichsssippenamt and its commissioned offices. It would also be contrary to general administrative practice to hand over material which is still in use to the archives. The same applies to genealogical collections. The genealogical collections are also not a historical archival property, but represent an additional material to the church books as a means of a living population policy. D. School Education Since the German educator is an essential part of the political and historical tasks in the East, the question of ensuring the necessary teacher growth and the question about the intellectual and economic basis of the teachers already in the profession was the subject of in-depth discussions. On the points of view repeatedly set out by the Reichsministerium für Wissenschaft, Erziehung und Volksbildung at the beginning of 1940,
