This subcollection comprises materials on major topics of JDC’s worldwide programs and activities, including: the expansion of JDC’s postwar relief efforts in Eastern Europe; assistance to refugees and displaced persons; the development of health and welfare societies in Poland and the Soviet Union; funding for public health programs in Lithuania and Romania, and the promotion of economic, agricultural, and welfare development in Palestine, as well as reports on the political, economic, and social conditions in all of the regions in which JDC operated.
Of particular interest may be the files on Agro-Joint, the American Jewish Joint Agricultural Corporation. With the consent of the Soviet government, Agro-Joint trained and resettled 70,000 Jews as farmers in Ukraine and the Crimea, while also providing medical care, homes for the aged, orphan care, vocational training, loan funds, and workshops and cooperatives in the cities.
This subcollection is organized in record groups alphabetically by country/region. Note that borders shifted in the war era, and that the names of localities reflect both recognized political and indigenous regions.

Series 3: Poland: Subject Matter
The JDC medical files of Poland are more extensive than in other countries, for three main reasons: 1) the program in Poland was the greatest anywhere, 2) the Medical files in New York apparently were not raided for materials in the preparation of the JDC history project of the 1920s, 3) the survival of the Dr. J. J. Golub collection of Medical files, 1921-1923. Dr. Golub was JDC Medical Commissioner for the District of Volhynia, Poland, 1921-1922, and Director of JDC Medical activities in Poland, 1922-1923. A part of Dr. Golub’s materials have been incorporated into the subject matter below, wherever feasible, but the bulk has been retained as a separate collection of nearly 70 files. For an outline of those files, see below: Dr. J. J. Golub Collection of Files, G1-G68. In November 1920, the Executive Committee appropriated $2,000,000 for a Medical-Sanitary program in Eastern Europe and appointed Dr. Harry Plotz to organize a Medical unit for undertaking the task. Early in 1921, he was joined in Europe by a Medical unit of 17, later called the Medical Commission. In January 1921, the Executive Committee requested Dr. Plotz to limit his program to a cost of $500,000, and in light of the smaller sum he assigned the Unit members to conduct regional surveys of Medical-Sanitary conditions in Poland. Dr. Plotz resigned on September 30, 1921, but the Medical Commission continued activities in 1922. In 1922-1923, Dr. J. J. Golub served as Medical director, Poland, and after his departure Medical activities were scaled down greatly.

In late 1921, the JDC sought to found a Jewish Reconstruction Bank in Warsaw, as a joint stock company, for the grant of Reconstruction loans, but the Government license needed was not forthcoming. In November 1922, the JDC purchased a joint stock company, the Bank Rosyjsko-Polski, Warsaw, the Russian-Polish Bank, at a cost of $35,000, and renamed it Bank dla Spoldzielni, Central Reconstruction Bank, to serve as a central agency for the federations of Jewish loan cooperatives in Poland. The revised bank charter received govt approval. The JDC, and subsequently the JDC Foundation, made substantial grants to the Central Reconstruction Bank.

Series 4: Poland: DR. J. J. Golub Collection of Medical – Sanitary Files
The files are preserved in bound volumes, in soft covers mostly and represent the only complete set of files to survive from the 1921-1933 period. They contain correspondence, reports, memos, and a variety of other materials, written in English, Yiddish, Polish or German. Some materials have kept their value but a considerable part have not. To break open the volumes and to extract the materials of value would be an unfeasible task, the more so since the filing system is incompatible with the one in use today. But researchers seeking data on Medical – Sanitary activities in Poland between 1921-1923, must take these files into account. The files are numbered G1-G68, and bear the titles listed below. Note: The term ‘incoming’, as used in the files below, refers to the arrival of correspondence at the office of the Medical – Sanitary Department, Warsaw, from the office or region named on the file. Conversely, the term ‘outgoing’, refers to the dispatch of correspondence by the Medical – Sanitary Department, Warsaw, to the office or region named on the file.

Series 5: USSR: Agro-Joint (American Jewish Joint Agricultural Corporation)
In July 1924, the JDC organized the Agro-Joint to serve as its operating agency in the USSR, and especially to aid so-called “nonproductive” Jews from smaller cities and towns. The newcomers were settled in colonies or in compact groups. The Agro-Joint also became the operating agency of the American Society for Jewish Farm Settlements from May 1, 1928 to December 31, 1935. See: American Society for Jewish Farm Settlements, Files 539-564. It concluded Agreements with the Soviet Government. covering its operations. See: File 521, 1/15/29, and File 533. From 1924 through 1938, the Agro-Joint administered some $16,000,000, including the funds provided by the American Society for Jewish Farm Settlements. The funds were used for land settlement and for allied projects covering industrial, medical, trade school and loan kassa activities. In 1929, the organization of an Industrial Fund for Russia, as a separate corp., was proposed, along the same lines as the American Society for Jewish Farm Settlements. A subsequent shift in Soviet political and economic policy caused a large reduction in the scope of the project. See: Files 565-567. In the course of developing the Agro-Joint projects, certain local government agencies took over the activities and continued them on a larger scale at government expense. By 1938, the Soviet Government held that Jewish colonists no longer needed assistance from outside organizations. Accordingly, the Agro-Joint would-up its operations in the USSR in 1938 – 1939, and aided by assets it obtained from the American Society for Jewish Farm Settlements, it shifted activities to Latin-American countries chiefly, for the rehabilitation of Nazi refugees. See: Files 518-520. For additional materials on those projects, researchers should consult the JDC files for 1940– The Agro-Joint was dissolved in 1952.

File 513: USSR: Agro-Joint, General, Birobidjan, 1926 – 1929
Report of the American ICOR Commission for the Study of Biro-Bidjan and its Colonization, Undated. Correspondence: Joseph C. Hyman, A. Margolin. In 1928, the USSR set aside the territory of Birobidjan in Eastern Siberis as an autonomous region for Jewish settlement. The JDC took a negative position at the time to the creation of the new region. But after the Nazis rose to power the finding of new homes for Jewish refugees grew pressing, and the Agro-Joint began to restudy resettlement projects in Birobidjan. In 1936, the Soviet Government undertook to shoulder full responsibility for the operation and management of all settlement activities within the territory, and restricted activities of foreign organizations to the transport of prospective immigrants to the USSR borders. Until that point, the Agro-Joint had exercised all but complete authority and supervision in its colonizing activities elsewhere in the country. Moreover, in the Stalinist purges of 1936 – 1938. several leading Jewish personalities in Birobidjan were denounced and liquidated. As a result, the JDC and the Agro-Joint followed a strictly hands-off policy in Jewish resettlement activities in Birobidjan. Following the Nazi invasion of the USSR and the coming of the Holocaust, the Ambijan Committee for Emergency Aid to the Soviet Union mounted pressure on the JDC to aid in the care and rehabilitation of 3,500 Jewish war orphans. The Soviet Government was expected to evacuate these children from other parts of Russia and to build children’s settlements for them in Birobidjan. The JDC declined to participate.

Julius Rosenwald agrees to contribute 5/8 of the total needed for an industrial fund for the benefit of declassed Russian Jews, with a $3,000,000 minimum and a $5,000,000 maximum, 10/17/29 – 10/29/29. Subscribers pledge $2,379,000 to industrial fund, payable over three years, 11/12/29 – 11/18/29. Dr. Rosen outlines industrialization project, 11/18/29. He proposes delay in proceeding with original project, 2/7/30-2/8/30. Scope of project reduced to $1,000,000 payable over a three-year period, 9/25/30, and finally to $51,000, 1/20/31, 3/20/31. In October 1929, Dr. Rosen proposed a program of industrial aid for declassed Jews in smaller Russian cities and towns. Individual subscribers to the American Society for Jewish Farm Settlements were called upon to subscribe $3,000,000 payable over three years. Political and economic considerations held back the start of the program, and the scope of it was drastically reduced in September 1930 and again in 1931. The original plan by Dr. Rosen to organize a separate corporation, along the lines of the American Society for Jewish Farm Settlements, fell through when conditions changed.
