Jewish Archive (Francoist Spain)

The Jewish Archive (Archivo Judaico) was the name given to a collection of documents compiled by the regime of Francisco Franco in Spain during the Second World War. In accordance with instructions passed down from the Directorate of General Security (Dirección General de Seguridad, DGS) the provincial governors of Spain assembled records of all Jews living in Spain, Spanish or not. The resulting list, which recorded 6,000 Jews living in Spain, was handed to the SS under Heinrich Himmler in 1941 and was included in Adolf Eichmann's Jewish Population Census, tabled at the Wannsee Conference chaired by Reinhard Heydrich in January 1942.
