"The Society for the Health of the Jewish Population (today Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants-OSE) was created in 1912 in Saint Petersburg (Russia). Its initial mission: to protect, feed and support Jewish children who were victims of poverty and persecution.\r\n\r\nDuring the dark years of World War II in France, OSE turned into a Resistance organization. Its leaders, trainers and educators became rescuers, caretakers and heroes, hiding children under their responsibility behind false identities.\r\n\r\nOnce the War had ended, OSE faced the daunting task of accompanying to adulthood the children who had been orphaned and to take in others who had just been freed from concentration camps.\r\n\r\nYears later, with the end of the War in North Africa, came waves of migrants, children and families, who needed help integrating into France.\r\n\r\nIn 1951, OSE was recognized as a “Non-Profit Organization for the Public Good”. Today, it is open to people of all backgrounds and has diversified its missions to accommodate different needs and sectors of society.\r\n\r\nBased on its strong and unique experience in rescuing generations of uprooted children, OSE has developed more than ever before its commitment to children and to health issues.\r\n\r\nThe Organization also invests its efforts in the areas of handicap and dependency, as well as support to Holocaust survivors.\r\n\r\nRead more on OSE's history [here](http://www.ose-france.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Bochure-100-ans-OSE-anglais.pdf)."@eng .
