Youth Aliyah School Prague and Hechaluz office

The Biskupsky dvur 1146/7 (Bishop's Court) housed the Youth Aliyah School and an office of the Hechaluz from May 1939 to mid-1941. The director of the Youth Aliyah School was Egon Redlich. In preparation for emigration - primarily to Palestine - Hebrew, English, Jewish history, the geography of Palestine, carpentry and locksmithing, home economics, chemistry and mathematics were taught.

Furthermore, from its foundation on October 13, 1941 until November 1942, it was the seat of the Trusteeship Office of the Jewish Community of Prague. Its task was to register all the movable and immovable property that deportees had to return. The Treuhandstelle was responsible for treasuring and repairing Jewish property and distributing it to the National Socialist rulers.
