The Jewish government security was set up in May 1944, the first government commissioner was Dr. Turvölgyi Albert. His sphere of activity extended to the collection and preservation of the valuables “nationalized” by the Jews and to the administration of property law matters of the Hungarian Jews.

This activity was taken over on November 15, 1944 by Dr. Toldi Árpád Gendarme Colonel.

Considering of the war situation, the government security has ordered to load the collection, on wagons and the transport of Jewish valuables deposited at postal savings banks and regular banks to the village of Óbánya puszta next to the town of Zirc.

The first transport with 18-22 wagons left Budapest on October 14th, the second left to Zirc a month later.

In Óbánya puszta the valuables were placed in the curia of Count Tattenbach – Vállai Eberhard Sándor.

The parcels of valuables were opened in the first days of December 1944 by delegations consisting of three people, compared with the lists in them, then sorted according to the following:
