Historia
The Comité de defense de Juifs (Committee for Jewish Defence, CJD) worked with the national resistance movement and was the largest Jewish defence movement in Belgium during World War Two. The organisation hid Jews, fought as partisans, forged identity papers and food ration tickets, obtained funds and set up escape routes. In the cultural realm, CJD distributed information and propaganda material, established a lending library, and maintained a Jewish press, printing in Yiddish, French and Flemish.
