Introduction by YIVO Institute for Jewish Research

Background

The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) is the world’s oldest refugee agency, formally incorporated in 1903. HIAS emerged from the work of several agencies which supported Jews fleeing pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe beginning in the 1880s.

This data set comes from records of HIAS’s work in France during the war years. HIAS provided assistance to refugees in the form of legal support, monetary aid, and family reunification services, among other things, during this timeframe.
