Max Heiliger
Max Heiliger was a fictional name created during the Nazi era under authority of ''Reichsbank'' president Walther Funk in a secret arrangement with leader of the ''Schutzstaffel'', Heinrich Himmler. It was a false identity used to establish bank accounts to launder valuables stolen from those killed in the Nazi system of concentration camps and extermination camps. Stolen banknotes and jewelry along with Holocaust victims' dental gold, wedding rings, and even scrap gold melted down from spectacles-frames flooded into the Max Heiliger accounts, completely filling several bank vaults by 1942.〔 ''Heiliger'' accounts were also sometimes used to fence valuables at Berlin's municipal pawn shops.
Other code phrases associated with bank-processing of camp victims' property included ''Melmer'', ''Besitz der umgesiedelten Juden'' ("property of resettled Jews"), and ''Reinhardtfonds''.〔 The latter was a veiled reference to ''Aktion Reinhardt''. The word ''umgesiedelten'' cloaked the true nature of the goods, since victims were usually "resettled" to a Nazi concentration camp or an early grave.
Using the name "Heiliger" was a cynical Nazi joke, since the word means ''saint'', from the word ''heilig'' (holy).〔 Such "humor" was not unusual in Nazi circles. For example, the one-way path to the gas chamber at Sobibor extermination camp was called ''Himmelstrasse'', meaning "Heaven Street" –the road to Heaven.
