1942

The Vermögensverwertungsstelle (Asset Liquidation Office) at the OFP Berlin is established. It takes over the cases and staff of the Ausbürgerungsabteilung (Denaturalisation Department) at the Finanzamt Moabit‑West (Moabit-West Tax Office).

At the Wannsee Conference, representatives of the Reich government and the Nazi Party coordinate the organisation of the murder of Jewish people within the Nazi sphere of power.

Responsibility for the plundering of political opponents – what the National Socialists called “Reichsfeinde” (enemies of the Reich) – within Germany is transferred to the Reich financial administration. Until then, the Gestapo in the federal states had been responsible.

The Hauptwirtschaftsamt (Main Economic Office) of the city of Berlin takes over the household furnishings of deported Berlin Jews from the Vermögensverwertungsstelle. The items are distributed to the Berlin population.
