This collection is from the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and consists of the following: JDC emigrant registration cards from Munich and Vienna from 1945 to the mid 1950s, refugee case cards from Barcelona from 1943-1945, refugee registration cards from Hungary from 1956-1957, and emigration case files from Warsaw from 1945-1949. Records often contain the first and last name of the primary individual, birth date, birth place, the names of any accompanying individuals, the place of emigration, the destination, and information identifying which JDC emigration office the record pertains to. The registration cards from Munich and Vienna pertain to Jewish survivors who registered with the Emigration Department of the JDC in Munich and Vienna after World War II for help in emigrating to countries other than Israel. There are individual cards for 51,554 displaced persons in Munich and 25,374 for persons in Vienna. After the fall of France, tens of thousands of Jewish refugees seeking to flee Nazi Europe streamed into Spain from France. The JDC set up an office in Barcelona and provided support, housing, and emigration assistance to these refugees. The JDC also assisted refugees waiting for emigration papers and passage on transatlantic vessels. There are index cards for 8,220 refugees supported by the JDC. With the outbreak of the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, more than 18,000 Jews fled to Austria. The JDC helped emigrants waiting for resettlement, housing some 11,000 refugees in hotels, private dwellings, and camps. The JDC also supported two kosher kitchens in Vienna and furnished medical and religious supplies. While some stayed in Europe, refugees emigrated to the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and Latin America. The JDC’s operations in Poland were reestablished immediately after the end of the Second World War. One of the JDC’s principal activities was to provide assistance to those seeking to emigrate. Most of Poland’s surviving Jews, including those repatriated from the Soviet Union, left Poland during this period, particularly after the Kielce pogrom of 1946. There are approximately 6,400 case file cards. Each record contains a link to view the full record on the <a href="https://www.jdc.org" target="blank">JDC</a> website.
