Description	To meet the needs of a large influx of refugees, mostly from Poland and Romania, JDC supported the conversion of the dilapidated Rothschild Hospital into the Rothschild Reception Center.

Normally housing 600, every inch of space was used to make room for the thousands of refugees heading towards the more permanent camps in Austria or Germany.
