The camera caught them at play in one of the homes of the Swiss Jewish relief committee, which is supported by the Joint Distribution Committee. To meet the sudden requirements of these thousands of destitute and homeless people, and at the same time continue the normal relief programs on behalf of the thousands of other refugees, the J. D. C. increased its allocation to Switzerland and Spain. The Swiss Committee alone receives $60,000 monthly from the J. D. C. The Allied Jewish Campaign is the benefic- iary of the J. D. C. in Detroit.
