Four persons worked for the Aumônerie Générale. Rabbi Hirschler, his wife Simone Hirschler, his assistant/accountant A. Babsky and his secretary Mme Lipschitz who later on was replaced by M.

Many of the auxiliaries were detainees themselves and were reimbursed by the General Chaplaincy. Only auxiliaries who were French citizens had to work gratis without reimbursement. There were a total of about 80 auxiliaries to the chaplaincy over the course of the war period.
