In fact, despite a facade of independence, the Jewish councils (Judenräte) were there above all to carry out the orders and directives of the Germans. In the area of occupied Poland c. 400 Judenräte were set up, representing Jewish communities of varied size : from 500 to nearly 500,000 people. The occupation authorities confirmed the appointment of Adam Czerniakow to the post that he already held of chairman of the Judenrat in Warsaw. The Judenrat was considered by the Jews to be the government of the ghetto, responsible for all internal matters – and to a great extent matters outside the boundaries. In reality, the Judenrat had little power, was acting in restricted circumstances, according to rules laid down by the Germans, and its activities were further hampered by conflicts between different instances of the occupation authorities.
