Jewish Order Service
History
The Jewish Order Service refers to the Jewish police force in the ghettos of eastern Europe created by local Jewish Councils on the order of the German authorities to police the ghettos and enforce German commands and decrees. When deportations began and German authorities compelled the Jewish Order Police to assist in the operations, aversion to the Jewish Order Police among ghetto residents turned to hostility and fanned among underground organizations.
