Abstract
One of the most delicate and contentious issues in the harrowing history of the Jewish Shoah or Holocaust, still debated controversially seven decades after the events, was and continues to be the question of the extent of the involvement and culpability (or otherwise) of Jewish Councils in the organization of the deportation of Jews to the death camps in the east. One of the particularly perfidious elements in the Nazis' design of their death apparatus, these Jewish Councils (or ‘Judenräte’) were not just made responsible for the running of the affairs of their disenfranchised and forcibly ghettoized communities but also implicated local Jewish leaderships in the process of determining who was to be deported on which transport.
