The Aid and Rescue Committee, or ''Va'adat Ha-Ezrah ve-ha-Hatzalah be-Budapesht'' (''Vaada'' for short; name in Hebrew: ''ועדת העזרה וההצלה בבודפשט'') was a small committee of Zionists based in Budapest in 1944-45, who helped Hungarian Jews escape the Holocaust during the German occupation of Hungary.〔Bauer, Yehuda. ''Jews for Sale: Nazi-Jewish Negotiations, 1933-1945'', Yale University Press, 1994, p.152.〕 The Committee is also known as the Rescue and Relief Committee, and the Budapest Rescue Committee. The main personalities of the ''Vaada'' were Dr. Ottó Komoly, president; Rudolf Kastner, executive vice-president and ''de facto'' leader; Samuel Springmann, treasurer; and Joel Brand, who was in charge of ''tijul'', or the underground rescue of Jews.〔Hilberg, Raul. ''The Destruction of the European Jews'', Yale University Press, 2003, p. 901〕 Other members were Hansi Brand (Joel Brand's wife); Moshe Krausz and Eugen Frankl (both Orthodox Jews); and Ernst Szilagyi from the left-wing ''Hashomer Hatzair''.〔Bauer, Yehuda.
