The Henneicke Column worked for this department.

Arrest Tracking Project: An investigative initiative by the Cold Case Team to research all arrests of Jews in 1943 and 1944 to determine the modi operandi of the Jew hunters: who worked with whom, what methods they used, how they obtained information, and so on.
Auschwitz （Auschwitz-Birkenau） concentration camp: The largest concentration and death camp in the Third Reich. It consisted of almost forty subcamps, of which Birkenau was the largest. It was established in 1942 near the south Polish city of O?wi?cim. During the war almost 1 million people, predominantly Jews, were exterminated there.

Bureau Joodse Zaken （BJA） （Bureau of Jewish Affairs）： Originally a department of the Amsterdam police charged with detecting violations of Jewish measures imposed by the Germans in the occupied Netherlands. After the Netherlands was declared “Jew free” in 1943, the officers of this unit were assigned to department IV B4 of the Sicherheitsdienst （SD） and predominantly hunted Jews in hiding.
