After the '' Kristallnacht '' pogrom against Jews in Germany that occurred from 9 to 10 November 1938 , there was an increase in the number of Jews from Germany seeking refuge in the Netherlands . The Dutch Department of Justice selected the refugees who would be permitted to enter . The Jewish Refugee Committees created lists of refugees who were eligible to submit for entry . The Dutch government proposed the requirement that these new refugees be housed in camps instead of being housed privately , and that the CJV would facilitate their further emigration as soon as possible . The Committee did not influence the number of refugees who would be allowed , but it was asked to financially guarantee the shelter in the camps . The Dutch government did not accept responsibility for the refugees . Within the three days required by the Dutch government , the CJV was able to underwrite the operating expenses of the camp with a sum of one million guilders
