The Agudath HaRabbanim (Union of Orthodox Rabbis), led by Rabbi Eliezer Silver of Cincinnati, founded an organization specifically devoted to the rescue of European Jews called the Vaad Hatzalah ("Rescue Committee").
[2] For example, the Polish government-in-exile ambassador in Bern, Aleksander Ładoś, sent coded cables to New York City on behalf of the Vaad and related Jewish organizations.
[3] The records of the Vaad Hatzala can be examined at Yeshiva University Archives.
A guide to the collection may be viewed at the website of Yeshiva University Libraries.
