!!!UNRRA

UNRRA, United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, 
organisation founded in 1943 and taken over by the UNO to help 
refugees in areas liberated by the Allies. From 
February 8, 1946 until June 30, 1947 Austria 
received food, clothes, vehicles, seeds and fertilisers worth 137 
million US $, mainly provided by the USA. This aid was of 
vital importance for many Austrians, especially in the winter of 
1946/47. Refugees from other countries were also supported or received 
help in finding new countries in which to settle.
