History
The establishment of a junior ministerial post for Jewish affairs was influenced by the problem of the ‘aryanization’ of Jewish business. The establishment of the Commissariat Général aux Questions Juives indicated that Vichy was treating the Jewish Question with all the seriousness with which the Germans appeared to endow the question; furthermore Vichy was committing itself to a constant control of the question. On 1943-05-28 the CGQJ formally handed its network of institution over to the Union Générale des Israélites de France.
