Zentralstelle für jüdische Auswanderung
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zentralstelle für jüdische Auswanderung, which can be translated as "Central Office for Jewish Emigration", was a designation of Nazi institutions in Vienna, Prague and one in Amsterdam.
The office in Vienna, founded in 1938 and led by Adolf Eichmann , and the one in Prague, founded in July 1939, were first concerned with real emigration of Jews, against payment. Later, and from the start in Amsterdam, they were concerned with the forced deportation of Jews to concentration camps.
This organization was closely tied to the SS and many other anti-Semitic Nazi offices. It was mainly meant to be a legitimate front for the covert murder of Jews.
