New York harbor, June 1919

We honor our fallen colleagues who lost their lives in service to JDC and to the Jewish people. Their stories are bound up in JDC’s narrative of a turbulent century of rescue and relief. They are the few who helped save the many; may their deeds and dedication inspire us all.
