The archive of the Jewish Council has not been preserved in its entirety. During the occupation the Germans confiscated and destroyed parts. Also, reports and conversations of chairman D. Cohen with the German authorities have likely been lost. Cohen secretly dictated these reports to his secretary miss F.D. de Lange. Minutes of the Jewish Council from 13 February until 24 June 1941 are also missing * .
The archive that employees and departments of the Jewish Council made has never been stored in one central place. First off, that is because the departments of the Jewish Council were spread across different locations in the city. Secondly, the provincial representatives kept their archives in their own secretariat.
The consequences of this decentralised storage system are felt when they were received by the RIOD. In most cases it is not possible to find out when the RIOD received these documents. As far as can be traced, the following documents were transferred to the RIOD over a period of twenty years.
The first transfer was in 1953 by former chairman David Cohen. He bestowed the archive to the chairmen "with a few other documents". In the annual report of that year "preserved pieces" were mentioned which indicates that the archive was incomplete. Nevertheless, the chairman archive was characterised as an "acquisition whose value to the documentation of the persecution of the Jews cannot be mentioned enough".
A year later, Cohen supplemented his gift with annotations of his conversations with representatives of the Sicherheitspolizei. In 1962 the RIOD received for packets with documents from the department Groningen which was followed three years later by three quarter of a meter of material from the department Zutphen. Lastly, the annual report of 1975 mentions receiving a map of newsletters over the period August 1942 till January 1943.
