Scope and Content

Information on UJRA's attempts to settle war orphans in Canada. There are three types of case files: 1) general personal histories of those who applied to Canada. 2) withdrawn applications and 3) referrals, release forms, policy statements and case histories, processed through DP emigration departments of the American Zone Headquarters in Germany and Austria. There are also subject files which contain progress reports, sailing lists, more personal histories, and information on the staff and agencies involved.
