Verein deutscher und staatenloser Antifaschisten (VDSA) was founded in May 1945, as a successor organization to the Wartime 'Interessengemeinschaft anti-faschistischer Deutscher in den Niederlanden' (League of Anti-fascist Germans in the Netherlands), which was active in the resistance from 1944 on; their aim was to protect the legal status of Jewish emigrants and German refugees; in Nov. 1947 the ,Verein' was discontinued.
