This compilation of reports was submitted by Assistant Director Michelin to Morris D. Waldman, director of the Medico-Sanitary Department and includes reports on anti-typhus activities and the health situation in Poland. Includes extensive lists of chairmen of individual Polish towns and inventories of various medical supply warehouses. “Faced with the catastrophic health and sanitary conditions in Poland, the JDC began to render emergency medical aid. Starting in 1921, its medical department developed systematic means of fighting typhus and ringworm; vaccinated 30,000 children; disinfected thousands of homes; renovated hundreds of bathhouses and medical institutions; and provided equipment and medicines to hospitals and outpatient clinics.” (YIVO).
