The National Jewish Rehabilitation Fund dealt with issues of restitution and compensation in Hungary. This collection contains decrees, studies, correspondence, memorandums, notes and background materials of the Rehabilitation Fund. It includes the correspondence of the National Jewish Rehabilitation Fund with a host of Hungarian Jewish individuals, with various Hungarian state authorities and other institutions regarding compensation and restitution. Individual claims that Hungarian Jewish survivors submitted to the Elhagyott Javak Kormánybiztosa (the Government Commissioner for Abandoned Property) in 1945 are also part of this collection. Last but not least, there are documents of the National Office of Hungarian Israelites from the years 1946-1947 that concern the property Hungarian Jews used to own but that was confiscated and transported out of the country during the Holocaust in 1944-1945. This part includes various documents regarding the so-called Gold Train.
