The Relief Committee for the War Stricken Jewish Population (Relico) was founded in Geneva in September 1939 by Dr. Avraham Silberschein. Silberschein started with searching for relatives and providing legal and financial aid to Jewish refugees, but soon enough he concentrated his efforts on relief operations. After the war he provided aid to She'erit Hapletah in Europe and was active in searching for war criminals. For more information about him see enclosed material.
