J. C. Hyman, The Rescue of Stricken Jews Executive Vice-Chairman, The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Inc., • 270 Madison Avenue, New York 16, New York . Ill a World at War My dear Mr. Hyman: I sincerely wish t hat it were possible for me to be present at the annual meeting of the J.D.C. on December fifth in New York City. However, I know that my good friends and former co-workers of the J.D. C. fully understand the reason why I cannot be with them. My first dut y as Director General of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration is to devote all of my time and energies toward organizing and setting up this new agency. Under the circumstances, for the time being I am unable to accept any invitations other than those dealing strictly with the work of UNRRA. For over a quarter of a century I have been interested in the humanitarian work of rescue and rehabilitation by the J.D. C. , and have had the honor and privilege of serving first as its Treasurer, then as Chairman of its Committee on Reconstruction, and in recent years as Vice-Chairman. Because of my long association with the J.D.C. I know at first hand of its great work of humanity, of mercy and of reconstruction. It has developed its reconstruction programs from simple assistance for shattered communities to widespread resettlement and colonization programs. PART I The human needs of the millions who have suffered so much present to the United Nations a tremendous and urgent test of the efficacy of practical and working democracy which is the effective expression of the fundamental and irrevocable rights and dignity of the individual. TODAY'S TASKS AND TOMORROW'S PLANS It would be worse than folly, it would be to invite a world catastrophe, for the United Nations to conquer the Axis and be unprepared to bring succor and assistance to the men, women and children who have kept alive their hope and cherished their love of liberty through the years While carrying out its day-to-day responsibilities, the J.D.C. is at the same time of Axis oppression. In the vast task which faces the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration not alone will the human and material resources of governments be required, looking ahead to the problems of rebuilding Jewish life in the post-war period but that of public and private organizations also will be needed. It has made me very happy that the J.D.C. has pledged its support to UNRRA in every way by PAUL BAERWALD that lies within its power -- both as individuals and as an organization. I am familiar with the splendid personnel assembled by the J.D.C. It is well kno.wn that the J.D.C. has never restricted itself solely to the alleviation of Jewish misfortune. From its very beginning it has collaborated with non-sectarian agencies. It has worked hand in hand with the Quakers years have passed since our country entered the war. ghetto brought the stark tragedy of the Jews of Poland be­ and with Protestant and Catholic groups.

  • 2017 Report Century
    THE COMMUNITY REPORT 2016–2017 TO CENTURY We’ve lifted lives shared dreams and brought our community together. OUR FIRST Today, we’re more vibrant and inclusive than ever. OUR SECOND CENTURY FRIENDS, DEAR The launch of our second century was a historic opportunity to pursue the ideas, investments, and innovations that bring meaningful impact to the communities we serve. Since 1917, our forward-thinking mindset has been coupled with a readiness to continuously learn from our experience. That’s how we’ve arrived at a UJA that is more inclusive and agile than ever before, poised to advance our community in ways that our founders could never have imagined. What hasn’t changed over these past 100 years? The sense of responsibility for Jews and people in crisis, wherever they may be, and the conviction that when we come together, we can do so much more than when we stand apart. Those same values guided our response to multiple crises in late summer and fall 2017. After neo-Nazi groups marched in Charlottesville, a delegation of New Yorkers traveled to Virginia to offer emotional support to a deeply shaken Jewish community. In the wake of widespread devastation wrought by Hurricanes Harvey, Maria, and Irma, we sent experts and vital resources to Texas to aid recovery efforts and dispatched lifesaving supplies to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. A Year of Strengthening Jewish Community Many will also remember this as a year of growing political divisiveness. As a much-needed antidote, we stood above the fray, offering safe spaces to talk with civility about difficult issues and generating opportunities to transcend difference and build kehilla — from Shabbat dinners to widely attended community conversations.

  • The Atlanta Jewish Community: Collaboration in the Face of Difference
    The AlexAndriAn VII, no. 1 (2018) The Atlanta Jewish Community: Collaboration in the Face of Difference Leilani K. Harris In the years before World War II began, antisemitic ideology hung in the air of Europe like a virus. Feeding off the viral tendrils, the Nazi regime went to great lengths to spread the plague of persecution. Across the Atlantic, the Jewish community became aware of the increasingly hostile atmosphere that pervaded the European mindset. Well before the world faced another global war, American Jews began to work in earnest to coordinate relief efforts for those living under the oppression of the Third Reich. The leadership of the American Jewish community did what they could through the restraints of the Great Depression, devoting their lives to saving those abroad from the devastation that would later occur. Through countless hours of combing through the archived newspapers of the Southern Israelite and digging through the archives of the William Breman Jewish Heritage and Holocaust Museum, the actions of Harold Hirsch, David Marx, Harry H. Epstein, and Tobias Geffen showed how men of differing ideologies could make a stand to save unknown souls in the name of religious tolerance and human decency. Their actions serve as a lesson to current and future generations that hope, dedication, and perseverance can and will prevail. Though the Holocaust continued and the actions of Hirsch, Marx, Epstein, and Geffen may have seemed small and inconsequential in the face of millions of lives lost, their dedication still mattered. To those who lived due to the deeds of the Atlanta few, their actions would mean everything.
