| Description: | The Transmission Department of the JDC was established in 1915 to deliver personal remittances to Europe and Palestine where normal transmission agencies were not functioning due to war conditions. Relatives from the West were able to deposit small amounts of money (typically $5 or $10, up to $100) for JDC to remit to their relatives overseas. The remittance lists include the names and addresses of remitters and beneficiaries. |
