Newsgroups: alt.revisionism Subject: Czech Jews provide Gestapo with population stats Archive/File: pub/places/czechoslovakia/czechoslovak-jewish-stats Last-Modified: 1994/09/16 I though this would interest those dealing with the issue of whether or not the Nazis had an accurate picture of the Jewish population under their control.. i.e. was the Wannsee estimate based upon facts? "Public leaders of small communities met to consider the future: what was to become of the sick and the old, of property and apartments? Where would they live in Prague? What about the vast majority who had no means of financing emigration? There were some towns in which the local authorities displayed amazing energy, demanding that the Jews decamp within two weeks. Appeals were made to Eichmann through intermediaries from the Czech government, asking if family heads alone could go to Prague to arrange emigration, while their families waited at home. In the name of efficiency, communities were asked to furnish the Gestapo with statistics on their members (according to age, six, and occupation) and on local Jewish organizations. The swelling Prague community administration added a statistics department and a housing department to its operation." (Bondy, 145) Work Cited Bondy, Ruth. Elder of the Jews.
