The Masonic movement, founded in eighteenth-century England, consisted of 690 fraternal lodges and about 70,000 Masons in Germany. In Nazi Germany, the anti-Masonic movement was linked to anti-Semitic propaganda. Masons could not be accepted into the Nazi party, and lodges were disbanded in September 1935 and their property confiscated. All lodge archives were confiscated and kept in the Central Office for Reich Security (RSHA) in Berlin. In August 1940, Masonic lodges in occupied Belgium and France were closed and their archives and property confiscated and sent to Berlin.
