History
The Zentralausschuss der Deutschen Juden für Hilfe und Aufbau coordinated economic and social assistance for German Jews from 1933/1938. The committee was created in 1933-04, just three months after Hitler rose to national power, as a collaboration of various German Jewish communal, political, and social-welfare organizations. Its goal was to take care of those Jews who had lost their jobs or businesses as a result of the Nazi’s anti-Jewish legislation. In addition, Jewish welfare organizations outside of Germany had requested the creation of such a committee to deal with all the monies being donated to help German Jewry.
