Hollandsch Doopsgezind Emigranten Bureau (Dutch Mennonite Emigration Office) was a committee founded in June 1924 on the initiative of the Mennonite Church Board of Rotterdam, and supported by the Mennonite Committee of Foreign Needs (see [[Fonds voor Buitenlandsche Nooden (Dutch Relief Fund for Foreign Needs) |Fonds voor Buitenlandsche Nooden]]), sponsored by the [[Algemene Doopsgezinde Societeit|Algemene Doopsgezinde Sociëteit]] (Dutch Mennonite General Conference). The first trustees were [[Gorter, Simon Henri Nicolaas (1885-1967)|S. H. N. Gorter]], president-secretary; J. Th. de Monchy, treasurer; J. Thiessen, M. P. Schütte, J. N. de Jong, all of Rotterdam, and [[Binnerts, Szn., Arjen (1865-1932)|Pastor A. Binnerts Szn]] and J. W. van der Vlugt of Haarlem. Soon Z. Kamerling became secretary, followed by C. S. Altmann of Rotterdam, who both as secretary and treasurer 1927-1937 (together with Pastor Gorter) did much for the Mennonite refugees. The services rendered by the committee were fivefold: (a) collecting money, clothing, and medicines in the [[Netherlands|Netherlands]]; (b) (especially during the first three years) sending food rations to [[Russia|Russia]]; (c) boarding the Russian Mennonites passing through Rotterdam, who had to wait there even for months; (d) shipping the refugees to North and [[South America|South America]]; (e) aftercare of those who immigrated to South America (this care was given on a large scale to the Mennonite settlements in [[Brazil|Brazil]] after 1930).

The refugee rush reached its peak in 1928-1930. By 1930 more than 1,000 Mennonite refugees from Russia had passed Rotterdam. After 1930 the number soon decreased and the committee could give full attention to the needs and problems of the Mennonites in Brazil. By 1936 the activities of the committee had practically stopped. More than 220,000 guilders have been collected and spent on this work of Christian and brotherly charity.
