Scope and Content

Includes Jewish mothers and children evacuated from Britain to Canada for the duration of the war. Currency regulations prevented transfer of funds from England, necessitating UJRA financial assistance in form of loans. The Council for Overseas Children was specifically charged with responsibility for this group. Also contains cases concerning relief to newly settled refugee farmers from Sudetanland, the latter having been initially sponsored by the Farm and Establishment Committee of what was the newly-formed Canadian Jewish Committee for refugees. Refugees from Japan and refugees in transit are also among this group of cases.
