(price-clipped) [a nice clean book with minimal shelfwear; the jacket is a little edgeworn, and has a narrow tape-stain across each end of the spine, with some faint soiling to the rear panel]. (B&W photographs) "The dramatic story of seven decades of rescue work by The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society," the world's oldest refugee aid society. Although HIAS was formally incorporated in 1903, it was actually a continuation of several predecessor organizations that had worked through the 1880s and 1890s to assist Jews fleeing pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe. It still operates today with an expanded mandate, describing itself on its website as "a multi-continent, multi-pronged humanitarian aid and advocacy organization with thousands of employees dedicated to helping forcibly displaced people around the world in keeping with the organizations Jewish ethical roots."
