History

Żydowskie Towarzystwo Opieki Społecznej was set up in 1940-10 to replace the independent Żydowska Samopomoc Społeczna Komisja Koordynacyjna (Jewish Social Self-Help-Coordinating Commission) representing the social sector of the welfare institutions. The new organization was made subordinate to the Jewish Welfare Committee of the City of Warsaw (ZKOM), the institution licensed by the Germans. In 1941-11 ZTOS lost its autonomy and under a new name – Żydowska Opieka Społeczna (Jewish Social Welfare) – became a section of the ŻKOM.
