The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, founded in 1914, had a very important role in providing for people returning from deportation. In the album, we can see their aid work, among others, photos of the work in associations helping to observe the Shabbat. In 1953, just like the Stalinist dictatorship in Hungary prepared a staged criminal proceeding against the members of the Jewish council of Pest, there was a staged trial against Joint as well, in course of which they had to stop their activities.
