Joel Brand [SEP] Introduction
Joel Brand (25 April 1906 – 13 July 1964) was a member of the Budapest Aid and Rescue Committee ("Va'adat ha-Ezra ve-ha-Hatzala be-Budapest" or "Va'ada"), an underground Zionist group in Budapest, Hungary, that smuggled Jews out of German-occupied Europe to the relative safety of Hungary, during the Holocaust. When Germany invaded Hungary too in March 1944, Brand became known for his efforts to save the Jewish community from deportation to the Auschwitz concentration camp in occupied Poland and the gas chamber. In April 1944 Brand was approached by "SS-Obersturmbannführer" Adolf Eichmann, head of the German Reich Security Head Office department IV B4 (Jewish affairs), who had arrived in Budapest to organize the deportations.
