Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Once Jews were sent to ghettos or deported to concentration camps, their dwellings would be rendered “entjudet” (free of Jews). Their homes would often be confiscated for use by a German family or by the military. Their belongings would be expropriated, pored over by former neighbors for personal use, or auctioned. Valuables were sent to Berlin.
