Record Group: Austria

The Austria Record Group contains 296 folders in 17 boxes, just over six linear feet of material, and divided into four series: Administration, Organizations, Subject Matter and Localities. During the years covered by this Record Group, 1945-1954, Austria was occupied by Allied and Russian forces. Documents reflect JDC’s relationship with military authorities as well as with the Austrian government. JDC’s efforts in Austria largely focused on the needs of refugees, displaced persons, emigrants, and survivors of the Austrian Jewish Community. Priorities were providing food, clothing, medical care, and schooling for children and vocational training for adults, as well as meeting religious needs. A number of long-range legal issues also concerned JDC, including heirless property and restitution, reparations, and the “Gold Train,” a trainload of valuable items seized from Hungarian Jews by local officials, shipped out of Hungary ahead of the advancing Red Army and captured by U.S. forces in Austria. Items of note include documents concerning reparation agreements with Austria including a 43-page memorandum from Simon Wiesenthal on the assets of convicted war criminals; a 6-page general report about Jewish life in the French Zone of Austria and a description of the 45 concentration camps in Austria and a copy of the first issue of the ADJC bulletin in Austria.
Especially significant are several lists of names, including lists of Austrian Jews who returned from concentration camps, of Austrian Jews residing in occupied Vienna; of Austrian Jews who arrived in Sweden and 69 German Jews who were interred in Karaganda Siberian Camp and repatriated to Berlin.

Record Group: Belgium

The Belgium Record Group is comprised of 224 folders in 15 grey boxes; about 5.5 linear feet of material that includes correspondence, audits, lists of names, and reports, organized into 4 series: Administration, Localities, Subject Matter and Organizations. JDC’s office in Brussels closed in April 1950 due to budgetary issues, and activities were transferred to Aide aux Israelites Victimes de la Guerre (AIVG). This Record Group documents efforts to assist refugees in Belgium and to assist the Jewish Community of Belgium in renewing itself after the losses of the Holocaust and World War II together with an influx of refugees fleeing Eastern Europe. Especially significant in this Record Group are the many lists including: Holocaust survivors, Greek Jews in transit, repatriated political prisoners, orphans with information about the deportations of their parents, political refugees, students, people who left Belgium after 1945, scholarship recipients, rabbis and refugees from Eastern Europe. Other documents deal with the results of the war and the Holocaust, including; providing legal presumption of death and declarations of death; efforts of the Jewish Community in reconstruction; absorption and assistance to refugees, including tailors and carpenters cooperatives, a watchmaking workshop, loan kassas, schools and yeshivas, Yiddish theater, clinics, medical supplies, care of the aged and a traveling Judaica exhibit from the Royal Library of Copenhagen.

Documents in this Record Group include building and renovation of Jewish hospitals; legal and illegal emigration; nationalization of Jewish hospitals and schools, the role of the Jewish Consistory of Sofia, the administrative organization of the Jewish community under Communism; establishment of workers’ cooperatives; and health care for children.

JDC’s major mission in China in this era was to help refugees, who had found safe haven in China during the Holocaust and World War, II emigrate to other countries and to ensure their sustenance until they could leave China. The refugees were concentrated in Shanghai, Harbin, and Tientsin. Emigration was complicated by the Soviet occupation of Manchuria, the Communist Revolution in China and because many of the refugees were elderly or infirm.
