- Archival history:
- This miscellaneous collection of first-hand accounts of Jewish persecution in Europe and other papers was sent to the Wiener Library by the Committee for Jewish Refugees in Holland. Nothing is known about the circumstances in which the deposit was made. It is assumed that the authors of the accounts were at one time refugees in Holland.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Committee for Jewish Refugees in Holland was created out of the Committee for Special Jewish Affairs, an organisation established to represent the interests of all Jewish interest groups. Dr David Cohen, a leading member of the Dutch Jewish community and Professor of Ancient History at Amsterdam University, was founder of both organisations.
