Christian Charity: The Unitarian Service Committee’s Relief Activities on Behalf of Refugees from Nazism, 1940-5
Author(s)Genizi, Haim
AbstractThe Unitarian Service Committee (USC) was one of a number of American Christian organizations which aided refugees, mostly Christians, during the Nazi period. Although modeled somewhat after the Quakers’ American Friends Service Committee, the USC differed from this group in its opposition to neutrality and openly expressed support for the Allied cause. Despite its late start (1940) in overseas work, the USC was very energetic and creative in aiding refugees. The committee was also the only relief agency in Lisbon specializing in care for illegal refugees.
