Item is a book published by the Jewish World Relief Conference that relates the story of the victims of the pogroms.

Administrative History

The Jewish World Relief Conference (JWRC) was created in August 1920 at the Conference of Carlsbad. The latter was organized by the Committee of Jewish Delegations. One hundred representatives of sixty Jewish organizations, themselves representing twenty-eight countries, were assembled. The JWRC's aim was to centralize the relief work carried out by Jewish associations.

The organization was represented by a central council, which consisted of thirty-seven members, who in turn elected twelve members to an executive committee. The latter directed the work of the JWRC. Its seat was in Paris.
