This microfilm collection consists of an archive of correspondence and reports of a German Jewish refugee organisation in the Netherlands during the 1930s and a hard copy file of similar material. The main archive of the Comité voor Joodsche Vluechtlingen, which was obtained by the Wiener Library in 1959, is now located at the Rijksinstituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie in the Netherlands.
See also MF Doc 32 for copy material from the archives of the Comité voor Joodsche Vluechtlingen.
The Comité voor Bijzondere Joodsche Belangen (the Committee for Special Jewish Affairs) was founded in Spring 1933 by Dr David Cohen with the object of bringing together all the various Jewish interest groups to co-ordinate protest activities against the persecution of Jews in Germany and to deal with the burgeoning refugee problem. Out of this organisation was born a second, the Comité voor Joodsche Vluechtlingen, which was responsible for the day to day running of the relief effort in Amsterdam. Its remit grew to include assisting Jewish refugees nationwide and representing their interests to the government.
None of the microfilmed material has been numbered. It is arranged chronologically in the following categories. 502/I: correspondence between British and Dutch Jewish refugee organisations, 1933-1940; 502/II: duplicated reports of the CJV and the CBJB; 502/III: papers re the CJV archive, 1959; 502/IV: copy extracts from the CJV archive.
The non-microfilm material has been arranged and numbered in chronological order.
