Overview

""This Thing of Giving"" is a comprehensive and moving account of one of the greatest humanitarian efforts of the early twentieth century. Written by Henry H. Rosenfelt, the work chronicles the monumental task undertaken to provide relief to millions of Jewish victims of World War I and its aftermath across Europe and the Near East. The narrative details the unprecedented mobilization of American resources, highlighting the logistical challenges, the vast scale of fundraising, and the profound impact of the aid delivered to starving and displaced populations. Through a blend of administrative record and human interest, the book captures the spirit of collective responsibility and the power of organized philanthropy during a period of global crisis. Readers will find a detailed exploration of the social and political conditions of the era, as well as the enduring legacy of international aid programs. ""This Thing of Giving"" serves as a vital historical record for those interested in Jewish history, the development of modern humanitarianism, and the transformative power of charitable action in the face of devastation.
