The Organizations subcollection details JDC’s collaborations with governmental and non-governmental organizations, including several United Nations agencies such as the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the International Refugee Organization (IRO), a United Nations agency created in 1946 to assist individuals displaced by World War II, which provided funding to JDC to sustain individuals who qualified for IRO aid; Jewish and non-sectarian philanthropic agencies; and U.S. and foreign governmental agencies during the years 1945-1954. These relationships include initiatives with institutions in the fledgling State of Israel after its founding in 1948.
Arrangement
The Organizations subcollection is organized into four record groups. Within each record group, files are arranged alphabetically. Organizations with at least three files are categorized in series, listed alphabetically; organizations with fewer than three files are listed after series.

The Governments record group documents JDC’s relationships with Israeli and American governmental agencies in providing aid to migrants from Europe. There is also material on JDC’s interactions with the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF), from whom JDC received official permission to be one of the first non-profit organizations to operate and provide relief in the Displaced Persons (DP) camps.

These records document the conditions in Displaced Persons (DP) camps, individual cases, resettlement queries, legal complications, and IRO-JDC agreements. The IRO and its predecessor agencies provided funding to JDC, which in turn worked directly with individuals who qualified for IRO aid. Files detailing the work of United Nations agencies, such as the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which worked in concert with the IRO are located in the “Intergovernmental” record group. Of additional note is the correspondence included in the International Tracing Service series regarding ownership of records from concentration camps which were in the custody of the US Army in Germany.
