Creator(s)

  • The creator of this collection is unknown. The index cards may have been compiled by the Reichsministerium für die besetzten Ostgebiete - Einsatzleitung Belgien, by the Brüsseler Treuhandgesellschaft or by one of the moving companies that cleared out the Jewish homes, although this is unlikely since the file cards are written in German.
