The IRC was founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein to assist opponents of Hitler. It provides emergency relief, public health, medical, and educational services to refu gees and displaced persons in more than two dozen countries. Through reconstruction and rehabilitation proj ects, the IRC assists in the repatriation of refugees to their home countries, provides resettlement services for refu gees in the United States, and advocates on the behalf of refugees, especially women and children.
