Biographical History
The International Rescue and Relief Committee, based in New York City, was a successor organization incorporating the Emergency Rescue Committee (whose representative Varian Fry had assisted Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel in their escape from Vichy France and emigration to the U.S. in 1940) and the International Relief Association. Frank Kingdon, a Methodist minister and president of the University of Newark, was chair of the Committee from 1940 to 1945.
