Title A name given to the resource Saving the Future in Europe Subject The topic of the resource Unitarian Service Committee, Relief work Description An account of the resource This is the cover of a publicity pamphlet, most likely distributed to USC donors. The pamphlet entered the Harvard University Library collection on October 31st, 1942. The ~50 page document illustrated the work of the USC's medical clinic in Marseilles up until early 1942, and is filled with pictures of patients being taken care of, used to indicate both the need for relief work and the "satisfactory" progress that the committee was making. The Polish team was organized by Noel H. Field, a communist sympathizer / spy and American citizen, who in 1942 was leading the clinic in France. It was he who brought together Dr. Bruk, Opalski, Tonia Lechtman, and Dorothea Jones in 1944 to begin the Polish medical mission in France, working in Polish DP camps.

Title A name given to the resource The Marie Curie-Sklodowska Institute in Warsaw, in 1945 and 1947, Reconstruction Subject The topic of the resource Polish science and medicine, Reconstruction, Warsaw Description An account of the resource Marie Curie, with friends family, and governmental support, was able to set up the Radium Institute in Warsaw. "A prominent group of American women, close friends of Madame Curie and devoted to the cause of America's fight against cancer, donated one gram of radium to the Institute. Thus Poland was able to take up her own large-scale fight against scourge of this mankind." The Institute was a hospital, lab, and library, but was closed and then partially destroyed during the war. The hospital continued operating until August 1944, the Warsaw Uprising. The Gestapo sought the radium that was hidden in the building, (1 gram hidden, 720 mg was handed over to the Germans). After the Warsaw Uprising, the Germans destroyed the building, killed the staff and patients (or moved them to Concentration Camps) and moved expensive equipment like X-rays back to Germany. The director was able to bribe a few German soldiers and rescue the radium amidst the ruins. After the war, the statue of Marie-Curie, like that of Copernicus, was left intact underneath the rubble. The Institute was restored with the aid of UNRRA resources. The photograph on the left was taken in 1945, the image on the right was taken in 1947.
