American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee 1929-1949 1933-1947
No full textThe American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (also known as the JDC) was founded on November 27, 1914, in order to facilitate and centralize the collection and distribution of funds by American Jews for Jews abroad. This collection consists of the German case files of the JDC (dating from 1929 to 1947). The records document various individuals’ immigration attempts. Although the JDC was at first reluctant to aid individuals directly, this became necessary after the outbreak of World War II. Documents concerning many prominent individuals may be found in this collection.The collection also contains a small section of Italian case files of the JDC, 1945-1947, for displaced persons in Italy after the war, concerning attempts to contact friends and relatives, conditions in Italy, and attempts to emigrate.The files of the New York central office of the JDC are stored in the JDC archives in New York. Records on the European offices of the JDC are now stored at the Jerusalem office of the organization. A few selected items and duplicate papers can also be found at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York. For background information on the JDC and its efforts in the 1930s and 1940s, the researcher is referred to the studies of Yehuda Bauer, which are based on extensive research in the JDC archives: "My Brother's Keeper: A History of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee 1929-1939" (Philadelphia: jewish Publication Society, 1974) and "American Jewry and the Holocaust: the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, 1939-1945" (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1981);See also annotated archival catalogues for 1933 - 1964 in "Guides to Other Archives Collection" (AR 25054);digitizedPhotographs removed to Photograph Collectio

American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee collection, undated, 1914-1988
No full textThis collection is comprised of annual reports, budget reports, cables, calendars of events, catalogs, correspondence, minutes, memorandum, lists of Board of Director members, photographs of speakers, and a chart of the organization’s Geneva Headquarters. The documents in this collection describe the many and varied activities of the committee such as fundraising, relief distribution, general information concerning Russian farm colonies and immigration. Also included are cables of congratulation on JDC’s 33rd anniversary. The collection also includes a bound volume of the financial, statistical and general data relating to the committee's activities since its inception which is located at the end of the Miscellaneous Collections.Acquisition information unknown.The American Joint Distribution Committee was founded on November 27, 1914 when the American Jewish Relief Committee (AJRC) and the Central Committee for the Relief of Jews (CCRJ) joined forces under the name of the Joint Distribution Committee of American Funds for the Relief of Jewish War Sufferers. Although JDC reflected the diversity of the American Jewish Community, the Reform-oriented American Jewish Committee faction dominated its early leadership. Conceived as a temporary agency to relieve suffering during the war, it developed more fully and complexly in the period of postwar reconstruction. In 1931 the organization changed its name to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, becoming a much-needed and permanent agency. Throughout the 1930s the organization became the relief center for Jews fleeing Nazi oppression, and in the late 1940s it conducted efforts to get oppressed Jews to Israel. In addition to its concern for, and activities in Israel, the JDC developed projects for oppressed and needy Jews throughout the world.far031
