Since 1914, JDC has exemplified that allJews are responsible for one another and for improving the well-being ofvulnerable people around the world. Today, JDC works in more than 70 countriesand in Israel to alleviate hunger and hardship, rescue Jews in danger, createlasting connections to Jewish life, and provide immediate relief and long-termdevelopment support for victims of natural and man-made disasters. The AmericanJewish Joint Distribution Committee (very often colloquially called \"the Joint,\"or the JDC) is a worldwide Jewish relief organization headquartered in NewYork. It was established in 1914 and is active in more than 70 countries. JDCoffers aid to Jewish communities around the world through a network of socialand community assistance programs. In addition, JDC contributes millions ofdollars in disaster relief and development assistance to non-Jewishcommunities. Allied victory offered no guarantee that the tens of thousands ofnewly liberated Jews (Sh\'erit ha-Pletah) would survive to enjoy the fruits offreedom. To stave off mass starvation, JDC marshaled its resources, institutingan ambitious purchasing and shipping program to provide urgent necessities forHolocaust survivors facing critical local shortages. More than 227 millionpounds of food, medicine, clothing, and other supplies were shipped to Europefrom U.S. ports.By late 1945, 75,000 Jewish survivors of the Nazi horrors hadcrowded into hastily set up displaced person camps throughout Germany, Austria,and Italy. Conditions were abominable. Earl Harrison, dean of the University ofPennsylvania Law School, asked Joseph Schwartz, JDC’s European director, toaccompany him on his official tour of the camps. His landmark report called forseparate Jewish camps and for United Nations Relief and RehabilitationAdministration (UNRRA) participation in administering them—with JDC’s help. Inresponse, Schwartz virtually re-created JDC, putting together a fieldorganization that covered Europe and later North Africa and designing a moreproactive operational strategy. Supplementing the relief supplied by the army,by UNRRA, and by UNRRA’s successor agency—the International RefugeeOrganization—JDC distributed emergency aid, but also fed the educational andcultural needs of the displaced, providing typewriters, books, Torah scrolls,ritual articles, and holiday provisions. JDC funds were directed at restoring asense of community and normalcy in the camps with new medical facilities,schools, synagogues, and cultural activities. Over the next two years, theinflux of refugees from all over Central and Eastern Europe would more thantriple the number of Jews in the DP camps. Their number included Polish Jewswho had returned from their wartime refuge in the Soviet Union only to fleeonce again (westward, this time) from renewed anti-Semitism and the July 1946Kielce pogrom. At the same time, JDC was helping sustain tens of thousands ofJews who remained in Eastern Europe, as well as thousands of others living inthe West outside the DP camps in Jewish communities also receivingreconstruction assistance from JDC. In 1946, an estimated 120,000 Jews inHungary, 65,000 in Poland, and more than half of Romania’s 380,000 Jews,depended on JDC for food and other basic needs. By 1947, JDC was supporting 380medical facilities across the continent, and some 137,000 Jewish children werereceiving some form of JDC aid. Falling victim to Cold War tensions, JDC wasexpelled from Romania, Poland, and Bulgaria in 1949, from Czechoslovakia in1950, and from Hungary in 1953. After the Holocaust: Rebuilding Jewish Lives and JewishLife As the war in Europe drew to a close, JDC marshaled its forces to meet acrisis of staggering proportions, racing to ensure that tens of thousands ofnewly liberated Jews would survive to enjoy the fruits of freedom. A massivepurchasing and shipping program was instituted to provide urgent necessitiesfor these Holocaust survivors in the face of critical local shortages, with 227million pounds of supplies shipped to Europe from U.S. ports. By late 1945,some 75,000 Jewish survivors of the Nazi horrors had crowded into thedisplaced-persons (DP) camps that were hastily set up in Germany, Austria, andItaly. Conditions were abominable, with many subjected to anti-Semitism andhostile treatment. Earl Harrison, dean of the University of Pennsylvania LawSchool, asked Joseph Schwartz, JDC’s European director, to accompany him on hisofficial tour of the camps. His landmark report called for separate Jewishcamps and for UNRRA (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration)participation in administering them—with JDC’s help. To provide that help,Schwartz virtually re-created JDC, putting together a field organization thatcovered Europe and later North Africa and designing an operational strategythat valued action and initiative. Supplementing the relief supplied by thearmy, by UNRRA, and by UNRRA’s successor agency—the International RefugeeOrganization—JDC distributed supplies that nourished both body and soul: food,medicine, clothing, tools, equipment such as typewriters, and educational,cultural, and religious materials, including books, Torah scrolls, ritualarticles, and holiday provisions. JDC funds supported medical facilities,schools, synagogues, and cultural activities, while JDC personnel helpedorganize communal life in many camps and other installations and representedthe DPs before the military and other authorities. Over the next two years, thenumber of Jews in the DP camps more than tripled, with a new influx of refugeesfrom Romania, Hungary, and Poland who had been helped to reach Westernoccupation zones. They included many of the Polish Jews who had returned fromtheir wartime refuge in the Soviet Union, only to flee once again (westward,this time, through Czechoslovakia) in the face of renewed anti-Semitism and theJuly 1946 Kielce pogrom. At the same time, JDC was helping sustain tens ofthousands of Jews who remained in Eastern Europe, as well as thousands ofothers living in the West outside the DP camps, in communities whose fledgingreconstruction efforts were soon fostered by JDC with funding from theConference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany (Claims Conference). In1946, some 120,000 Jews in Hungary, 65,000 in Poland, and over half ofRomania’s 380,000 Jews depended on JDC for food and other basic needs. By 1947,JDC was supporting 380 medical facilities across the continent, and some137,000 Jewish children were receiving some form of JDC aid: nutritious food,medical care, educational programs, and health-building recreationalopportunities. [Falling victim to Cold War tensions, JDC was expelled fromRomania, Poland, and Bulgaria in 1949, from Czechoslovakia in 1950, and fromHungary in 1953; it was able to return to work in these countries at various pointsin the ensuing decades.] When the time came to shift from emergency relief tolong-term rehabilitation, JDC set up loan institutions, producers’cooperatives, and work projects across the continent, as well as vocationaltraining and hachsharot (training) centers, which provided agricultural andother training for those seeking new lives in the Jewish homeland. JDC alsoprovided personal counseling and established a tracing service and a vastemigration program for survivors, the majority of whom subsequently resettledin Palestine—and later, Israel. Realizing that the Jewish refugee problem wouldbe solved only by so-called illegal immigration to Palestine, Schwartz activelysupported the activities of the Bricha and Aliyah Bet. His opinion ultimatelyprevailed at New York headquarters, and in a departure from established policy,JDC provided funding and supplies for these activities and intervened withWashington and the army on issues of borders and refugee quotas. And when theBritish began interning illegal Jewish immigrants in detention camps on Cyprus,JDC was there to furnish medical, educational, and social services for thedetainees 380
