The Central Historical Commission of the Central Committee of Liberated Jews in the US Zone was founded in 1945-12 in Munich. The CHC opened about 50 branches in the various Displaced Persons camps in Germany. Testimonies were recorded and questionnaires distributed. Attempts were also made to secure information about Jewish Communities from German sources, both by acquiring Nazi documentation and by distributing questionnaires among the Landraete (regional councils) in Germany. After three years the CHC was dissolved.
