They called it" the
Joint” because it was the mar-
riage of many minds, many Jewish groups. ""
The banker. The laborer. The scholar. The merchant.
These Americans forged together a strong union, a cir-
cle of concern, to answer the call of their brethren
around the world.
In the JDC’s long and active history it would mean hope
and life to millions: Underground railroads whisking
Nazi-persecuted Jews to safer havens... Answering the
plea of one small child in the ghettos of Iran... A new life
for an aged immigrant from Eastern Europe for whom
the “Joint” is the only family left.
With financial support from the UJA, the work of JDC
goes on: in Rumania, the table is set with food supplied-
by JDC. In Yugoslavia, children play in the sun of a JDC
sponsored summer camp. Homes for the aged in Mo-
rocco. Technical training in Rome. Therapy for the han-
dicapped in Israel.
All over the world the JDC serves with the same passion-
ate commitment shared by its founders 59 years ago.
To help fellow Jews live in dignity as Jews. So that wher-
ever they may be found, whatever may be their needs,
they will not be alone.
During the war years, those Jews
who were not caught in the insatiable
Nazi machine were smuggled out of war-
tom Europe. Those few who could get out
were helped to survive. And through them the
dream of Israel survived. The Holocaust left displaced
Jews—marooned on an island of the world’s indifference.
But the Jews of the world heard their anguished cries
and shared their yearnings for a home of their own.
The dream unfolded. Even before the State became a
reality almost 650,000 were helped to reach Palestine
Survivors flocked from all over the European continent
with nothing but despair behind them and a dream in
their future.
