On this day, Adolf Eichman established the Central Office for Jewish Emigration in Vienna to expedite the emigration process of Jews and force them to leave Eastern Europe. The creation of the Office also streamlined the obtaining of Jewish permits, forcing the Jews of Austria to move to Vienna. To finance the emigration process, the Germans took capital and property from wealthy Jews. The Jews had two weeks to leave the country, or the Nazis would send them to concentration camps. The Central Office was the only one with authority to hand out exit permits to Jews until they banned Jewish emigration in October 1941. Then, as a rollover effect, the Office gained control of the ghetto deportation of Austrian Jews to Poland; Eichmann also established offices in Berlin, Prague, Amsterdam, and other European cities. By the end of 1942, virtually no Jews lived in Austria. The Central Office for Jewish Emigration in Vienna was responsible for the deportation of 48,767 Jews.
