After the March 1944 German occupation of the country the bureaucracy of the Jewish Council was partially built on the administrative system of the Congregation. The most important unit of the Congregation incorporated into the Council was the Welfare Bureau of Hungarian Israelites that became the Council’s Social Department. Other units were not merged, but attached to the Council’s offices. These included the Cultural and Social Department, the Department of Education and Religious Education, the Liturgical Department – Office of Vital Registries, the Department of Charity, the Department of Hospitals and the Department of Foundations.
