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.

Title A name given to the resource Relief and Rehabilitation, A Study Guide Subject The topic of the resource UNRRA, Reconstruction of Poland, American relief workers Description An account of the resource This pamphlet, published by the National Planning Association and written by Spencer Coxe, is a quick introductory guide for anyone interested in relief work. The Introduction outlines some of the arguments surrounding relief work from the American perspective. Written a year into the establishment of UNRRA, the pamphlet is a great lens showing that debates regarding relief work already figured prominently in the discussion. Most of the pamphlet asks questions about relief that the reader needs to read the attached bibliography to find the answers for. The pamphlet seems to take a neutral stance towards the nature and scope of relief work that Americans should undertake.
