Ústredňa Židov
The Ústredňa Židov (ÚŽ; English: Jewish Center) was the "Jewish council" (German: Judenrat) in Bratislava which was imposed on the Jewish community of the Nazi puppet state of Slovakia to implement Nazi orders during the Holocaust.[1] Its leader was Heinrich Schwartz.[2] Other members included Karol Hochberg, who executed in 1944 by Jewish partisans for his collaboration with the Nazis.[3]
The Bratislava Working Group (Slovak: Pracovná Skupina), an underground Jewish resistance organization, split from the ÚŽ in 1942 once the Nazi deportations of Jews started.[2]
