scope and content: File B 85 contains information on Lamm’s and the Swedish Jewish organizations’ endeavors to create post-war relief and rehabilitation. There are also documents relating to efforts to facilitate family reunification for Jewish refugees. Lamm tried to mobilize such initiatives domestically and internationally, proposing various relief measures in 1943 to American Governor Herbert H Lehman, who served as director general of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. The volume contains Lamm’s correspondence regarding the 1943 Jewish relief memorandum with various prominent persons in Sweden and abroad, including Alva Myrdal and Torsten Nothin. Additionally, the volume includes information on the endeavors of Lamm and his associates to influence US refugee and visa policy through such individuals as State Secretary for Foreign Affairs Erik Boheman and the American Vice-Consul in Stockholm, William P Snow. The volume also contains documentation on Lamm’s attempts to help individual Jewish trans-migrants acquire US visas, migrate to South America, or find residence and employment in Sweden.
