About this Item

Title

  • New Mothers Learn Infant Care at a Hadassah Child Welfare Center, Jerusalem.

Summary

  • This photograph shows five new mothers with babies during a child care course provided by a Hadassah nurse in Jerusalem. In 1918-21, the Women's Zionist Organization of America (better known as Hadassah), established hospitals, a nursing school, and community health and preventive care programs in British Mandate Palestine. During those years, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), a humanitarian organization, provided $200,000 annually for the work of Hadassah in British Mandate Palestine. The JDC was formed in 1914 to send aid, including food, clothing, medicine, funds, and emergency supplies, to the stricken Jews of Europe during the war. The photograph is from the archives of the JDC, which contain documents, photographs, film, video, oral histories, and artifacts recording the work of the organization from World War I to the present.
