ABSTRACT
The majority of the Emergency committee members had considerable experience and personal relationships with the European analysts. Bertram D. Lewin's duties on the committee involved financial matters. In 1939, when Edward Glover was elected president of the New York Psychoanalytic Society, he resigned from his post at the Emergency Committee but continued to work on behalf of the refugees. The Emergency Committee would also publish appeals for donations so that psychoanalysts in the United States of America could also aid their European colleagues financially. During its existence for over a decade, the Emergency Committee offered aid not only in the refugees' escape and resettlement, but also in subsequent support for those immigrants who could not find suitable work. The Emergency Committee promised assistance in selecting locations that could potentially be developed as well as financial aid for early period. The Emergency Committee decided that it would make all the information available in one bulletin for those undertaking to immigrate.
