Committee for Jewish Refugees
The Committee for Jewish Refugees (Comité voor Joodsche Vluchtelingen - CJV) was founded in 1933 to provide practical help and shelter for refugees in Amsterdam. Among other things, it helped single women from Germany find work as domestic help for German-Jewish families in Amsterdam.
The Comité voor Joodsche Vluchtelingen formed part of the Committee for Special Jewish Interests.[1] Its main task was to arrange practical help and shelter for Jewish refugees in Amsterdam. Professor David Cohen, the secretary of the Committee for Special Jewish Interests, was appointed chairman of the Refugee Committee. Initially, the CJV was located at 's Gravenhekje 7, but when that was demolished, the committee moved to Lijnbaansgracht 366, Amsterdam. After 1941, this was an address of the Jewish Council.
