Finding Aid
Subcollection: Subject Matter

This subcollection documents the global range of JDC’s aid, reconstruction and relief initiatives during this time period, and usually reflects interconnected activities in multiple countries, rather than a single regional program. JDC provided extensive financial support, professional development services, and technical assistance to local communities; organized conferences; conducted research; published guides; and fostered cooperation among Jewish communities in Europe and the Middle East in fields such as childcare, community centers, education, medical services, and refugee aid to populations emigrating from Egypt, Hungary, and North Africa.

In this ongoing endeavor to rebuild European Jewish communities, foster Jewish identity and support Jewish education, JDC continued to partner with NGOs like the Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany (Claims Conference) and UJA, intergovernmental organizations, and local community entities.

One notable group of records are the case files, which detail the legal support and welfare aid that JDC provided to thousands of individuals, including its efforts to help Holocaust survivors obtain funds through the Claims Conference and resolve other indemnity claims against the German government.

Arrangement
This subcollection is organized into 17 record groups.

Record Group: Aged

A significant proportion of the files relate to the 1956-1957 preparation and distribution of a JDC publication titled “Serving the Needs of Older People,” based upon a survey of services for the aged in European countries. This publication prompted additional follow-up studies to identify funding priorities for this population. These surveys were prepared by Deborah Miller, who received feedback and assistance from other staff members including Dr. Ladislao Molnar, Henry Selver, and Louis Kraft.

Additional records comprise English, French, and German versions of “Serving the Needs of Older People;” Miller’s reports on old age homes in France, Germany, Holland, and Italy; summaries of questionnaire results; and assorted articles and reports by JDC and others on care for the aged and old age homes, including in Austria, France, Holland, and Israel.

Record Group: Child Care

JDC’s day care program, among the first to be sponsored by an international organization, focused primarily during this period on organizing kindergartens for thousands of Jewish children in Iran, Morocco, and Tunisia. JDC employed permanent day care consultants in order to maintain standards, advise local leadership, and train staff. JDC’s chief day care consultant during this period was Dorothy H. Beers. Evelyn Peters assumed this role in 1964. Additionally, Katya Roberts served as a day care consultant, first in Morocco and subsequently in Tunisia.

The files include collections of songs, original and translated stories, religious materials, articles about JDC’s day care program, and the JDC Guide for Day Care Centers. The latter item, published in 1962 in French and English, was intended to help local committees understand the purpose and nature of kindergarten. The Guide’s comprehensive descriptions led to its subsequent adoption by other organizations. Other correspondence covers issues such as expanding the program and leading it toward self-sufficiency; enhancing Jewish content; and how to retain staff for the programs in Morocco and Tunisia, which both saw extensive emigration during these years.

Additional material on the day care program can be found in record groups in the Countries and Regions subcollection.

Record Group: Education

The files contain correspondence, reports, proceedings of conferences and meetings, curricula from Belgium, Holland, and Tunisia, and other materials. Stanley Abramovitch (referred to as Yehoshua Abramovitch in Hebrew or Yiddish correspondence) served as JDC’s education consultant throughout this period, except for a sabbatical in 1957-1958. Included in this record group are Abramovitch’s chronological files from 1955, which document work with educational organizations and schools and the preparation and distribution of textbooks in Europe, Iran, and North Africa, Europe, and Iran. In 1955 Rabbi Dr. Leo Jung, chairman of JDC’s Committee on Cultural-Religious Affairs, toured Morocco and Tunisia with a stopover in Algeria to assess the educational situation, a trip documented by a lengthy report by Abramovitch and copies of Rabbi Jung’s speeches.

During Elijah Bortniker’s tenure as JDC’s Education Director from 1956-1958, he initiated the French-language Jewish pedagogical journal Hamoré, which was published by JDC starting in 1957 and continued well beyond the time period covered in these records. After the first three issues, Stanley Abramovitch assumed overall responsibility for the journal, joined by JDC staffer Louis Cohn, as well as outside editors Chaim Zvi Enoch, Claude-Annie Gugenheim, and Lucien Lazare.

These files also hold survey reports conducted by JDC in 1959 and 1962 of Jewish day schools and supplementary schools in continental Europe.

Record Group: Jewish Community and Youth Centers

During this period, JDC dedicated significant efforts to establishing and sustaining the development of community centers and summer camp programming for European Jewish communities. One of JDC’s most significant partners in this endeavor was the Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany (Claims Conference), who provided the funding, while JDC both advised the funders and supported the communities themselves. In the early years reflected in these records, Louis Kraft served as JDC’s community development consultant; Deborah Miller followed him in an expanded role.

These files contain correspondence, reports, publications, population surveys, community self-assessment guides from 1956 and 1957 created by JDC, and other materials pertaining to the development of social, educational, religious, sports, and artistic activities at summer camps and community centers. Some other notable materials, for example, include JDC’s sponsorship of a May 1960 conference on Jewish community centers with Le Centre de Jeunes, the Jewish youth center in Brussels and the creation in that same year of the Commission on Centers and Vacation Camps, affiliated with the Standing Conference on European Jewish Community Services. In 1961, the Commission carried out a survey of 62 of the over 80 European Jewish community and youth centers. The subsequent report by Deborah Miller is available here in English, French, and German.
