Most files deal with events during the Second World War, such as the exchange of German Jews for German civilians (e.g., in Belgian Congo) or the emigration of Jewish children to the British Empire or Latin America. Furthermore, there are some files dealing with the deportation of Jews to the extermination camps or the working conditions of Jews. In addition, the collection contains a file on the divorce of Albert Rüedi (born 1909). This was a so-called mixed marriage. There is also a file dealing with the memorial to the Jews murdered during National Socialism that was erected in 2008.

- Archival history:
- The representations‘s documents were probably gradually transferred to the Federal Archive.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Swiss Federal Archive in Bern has the statutory task of safeguarding, indexing, making available and evaluating archival documents of the Swiss Federal Assembly, the Federal Council, the Federal Administration and Swiss representations abroad. In accordance with the Federal Law on Archiving, it thus contributes to legal certainty, continuous and rational administrative management and makes government action comprehensible. The oldest holdings of the archive go back to the Central Archive of the Helvetic Republic, which was founded on 18 December 1798.
