History

Toward the end of 1940, SS Captain Theodor Dannecker, chief of the Judenreferat in France, had begun demanding that Jewish charitable organizations in the occupied zone come together under a single coordinating committee. The result was the creation in Paris on 1941-01-30 of the Comité de Coordination des Oeuvres de Bienfaisance du Grand Paris. Most local French and immigrant Jewish relief groups affiliated with the committee to avoid dissolution. It was superseded by Union Générale des Israélites de France (General Union of the Israelites of France) in 1941-11.
