The Judeja (Judäa) Union of Jewish Students in Austria was funded in Vienna in February 1919. it was a nonpartisan organization representing the economic, cultural, and group interests of Jewish students in Austria. The Zentralausschuss der Deutschen Juden für Hilfe und Aufbau coordinated economic and social assistance for German Jews from 1933/1938. The committee was created in 1933-04, just three months after Hitler rose to national power, as a collaboration of various German Jewish communal, political, and social-welfare organizations. Its goal was to take care of those Jews who had lost their jobs or businesses as a result of the Nazi’s anti-Jewish legislation. In addition, Jewish welfare organizations outside of Germany had requested the creation of such a committee to deal with all the monies being donated to help German Jewry.[Source: Encyclopedia of the Holocaust / R.
