History

The Országos Zsidó Segítő Bizottság was established on 1945-8-31. The organization integrated a number of independent groups, often operating at cross-purposes. The Joint, which provided the largest funds, recognized the new organization as the executive arm of the relief effort, i.e., it authorized the Committee to utilize available funds and organize the rehabilitation of as many individuals and Jewish communities as possible. As of August 31, the independent organization, the Deportáltakat Gondozó Országos Bizottság (the National Committee of Hungarian Jews for Attending Deportees) was absorbed into the OZSSB's organizational structure.
