After ‘Freemasons’ Eichmann was transferred to ‘Jews’ – SD Office II 112 – where he was given a book by Theodor Herzl advocating the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine and told to abstract its arguments for the instruction of the SS in general and the SD in particular.

Like the ‘Freemasons’ the ‘Jews’ office was engaged in building up a card index of all prominent Jews in the Reich and abroad.
