They established a shelter with dormitory space, a soup kitchen and clothing for any needy Jew. Organizers set up a bureau on Ellis Island in 1904 to assist new arrivals, providing translation services, guiding immigrants through medical screenings, arguing before the Boards of Special Inquiry to prevent deportations, and obtaining bonds to guarantee employable status. The organization also found relatives for immigrants who were detained because they had neither money nor friends to claim them. The group became famous worldwide – and in many languages – as HIAS, the abbreviation that was its first telegraphic address.</span></p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion simpatico-grid "> <button class="simpatico-grid"> <div class="timeline-image"> <span class="eyebrow">1914-1950</span> <div class="image-container"><img width="1500" height="1137" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201500%201137'%3E%3C/svg%3E" class="attachment-xlarge size-xlarge" alt="" data-lazy-srcset="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Refugees-en-route-to-freedom-1949-Original.jpg 1500w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Refugees-en-route-to-freedom-1949-Original-300x227.jpg 300w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Refugees-en-route-to-freedom-1949-Original-1024x776.jpg 1024w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Refugees-en-route-to-freedom-1949-Original-768x582.jpg 768w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" data-lazy-src="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Refugees-en-route-to-freedom-1949-Original.jpg" /><noscript><img width="1500" height="1137" src="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Refugees-en-route-to-freedom-1949-Original.jpg" class="attachment-xlarge size-xlarge" alt="" srcset="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Refugees-en-route-to-freedom-1949-Original.jpg 1500w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Refugees-en-route-to-freedom-1949-Original-300x227.jpg 300w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Refugees-en-route-to-freedom-1949-Original-1024x776.jpg 1024w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Refugees-en-route-to-freedom-1949-Original-768x582.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /></noscript></div> <p class="xsmall">Refugees en route to freedom, 1949 (HIAS)</p> </div> <article> <span class="eyebrow">1914-1950</span> <h3>Global Shifts: Wars, Restrictions, and Unprecedented Change<span class="button-icon"></span></h3> </article> </button> <div class="content"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The outbreak of World War I brought the largest influx of Jews from Eastern Europe yet: more than 138,000 arrived in the United States in 1914 alone. Shortly after the war, though, nativist politicians enacted restrictions limiting the number of immigrants to no more than 2 percent of the total of each nationality residing in the U.S. in 1890, severely limiting the entry of Jews from Eastern Europe. Because of the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 and the subsequent National Origins Act of 1924, few refugees were resettled to the United States from that time through World War II, but HIAS was able to work through its European arm, known as HICEM, to help 250,000 men, women, and children to escape Nazi persecution, and provided refugee services to those who were saved. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After the war, HIAS was instrumental in evacuating the Displaced Persons camps in Europe and aiding in the resettlement of some 150,000 people to 330 communities in the U.S., as well as Canada, Australia, and South America, and, eventually, to Israel following its founding in 1948.</span></p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion simpatico-grid "> <button class="simpatico-grid"> <div class="timeline-image"> <span class="eyebrow">1950-2000</span> <div class="image-container"><img width="375" height="214" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20375%20214'%3E%3C/svg%3E" class="attachment-xlarge size-xlarge" alt="" data-lazy-srcset="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/placeholder4.png 375w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/placeholder4-300x171.png 300w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px" data-lazy-src="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/placeholder4.png" /><noscript><img width="375" height="214" src="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/placeholder4.png" class="attachment-xlarge size-xlarge" alt="" srcset="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/placeholder4.png 375w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/placeholder4-300x171.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px" /></noscript></div> <p class="xsmall">HIAS helped Ethiopian refugees, like these from 1981, through the late 1970s and 1980s.

In 1975, following the fall of Saigon, the State Department requested HIAS’ assistance with the resettlement of Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian refugees in the U.S. In 1977, HIAS helped evacuate the Jews of Ethiopia, which culminated in several dramatic airlifts to Israel. Two years later, the overthrow of the Shah of Iran precipitated a slow but steady emigration of Jews escaping an increasingly oppressive theocracy, and HIAS facilitated the resettlement of thousands of Persian Jews with close family in the U.S.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the Refugee Convention dated back to 1951, the United States only became a signatory in 1968. Indeed, it was only after President Jimmy Carter signed the Refugee Act of 1980 that the right to asylum became codified in U.S. law. The act also established a process of resettling refugees to the U.S. where the government worked in partnership with private resettlement agencies, including HIAS. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Jews of the former Soviet Union found their way to freedom with the help of HIAS in two modern waves, with over 400,000 migrating with HIAS assistance through Vienna and Rome to the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere. The first wave peaked in 1979, coming to an abrupt halt a year later when the USSR once again closed its doors. The second wave, which began in the late ’80s, continued until emigration restrictions were finally lifted by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.</span></p> <div class="image-container"> <div class="image-wrapper"> <img width="936" height="690" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20936%20690'%3E%3C/svg%3E" class="attachment-xlarge size-xlarge" alt="" data-lazy-srcset="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/Soviet-Jews-Arrive.jpg 936w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/Soviet-Jews-Arrive-300x221.jpg 300w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/Soviet-Jews-Arrive-768x566.jpg 768w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px" data-lazy-src="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/Soviet-Jews-Arrive.jpg" /><noscript><img width="936" height="690" src="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/Soviet-Jews-Arrive.jpg" class="attachment-xlarge size-xlarge" alt="" srcset="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/Soviet-Jews-Arrive.jpg 936w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/Soviet-Jews-Arrive-300x221.jpg 300w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/Soviet-Jews-Arrive-768x566.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px" /></noscript> </div> <div class="media-caption"><p>HIAS helped over 400,000 Jews emigrate from the USSR.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion simpatico-grid "> <button class="simpatico-grid"> <div class="timeline-image"> <span class="eyebrow">2000-Present</span> <div class="image-container"><img width="2250" height="1500" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%202250%201500'%3E%3C/svg%3E" class="attachment-xlarge size-xlarge" alt="" data-lazy-srcset="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021.jpg 2250w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021-300x200.jpg 300w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021-768x512.jpg 768w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 2250px) 100vw, 2250px" data-lazy-src="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021.jpg" /><noscript><img width="2250" height="1500" src="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021.jpg" class="attachment-xlarge size-xlarge" alt="" srcset="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021.jpg 2250w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021-300x200.jpg 300w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021-768x512.jpg 768w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/202203_Ukraine_Kyiv-Refugees_0021-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 2250px) 100vw, 2250px" /></noscript></div> <p class="xsmall">Civilians flee the city of Irpin, Kiev, Ukraine, during heavy bombardment by the Russian Army, March 5, 2022.

HIAS also began working in countries refugees were fleeing to, helping identify those in immediate danger and bringing them to safety. In 2002, HIAS established operations in Kenya to provide protection to refugees from numerous African countries plagued by conflict, helping to resettle the most vulnerable and providing mental health and social services. The HIAS Refugee Trust of Kenya was the first HIAS program in decades to focus exclusively on assisting non-Jewish refugees.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The following year, HIAS entered into its first partnership in decades with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, to assist asylum seekers from Ukraine. Over the next two decades, partnering with the UN Refugee Agency to help refugees regardless of religion or ethnicity became HIAS’ way of working; assisting refugees not because </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">they</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are Jewish, but because </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">HIAS</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is Jewish.</span></p> <p>In 2003, HIAS expanded into the <a href="https://hias.org/latin-america-caribbean/">Latin American and Caribbean region</a> with the opening of its office in Ecuador, which was part of the response to the refugee crisis caused by the conflict in Colombia. Since then, HIAS’ presence in the region has grown to include 11 country offices — reaching from Mexico and Central America to South America and the Caribbean. Today, HIAS is one of the leading agencies working to protect displaced people across the Latin American and Caribbean region.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the Fall of Kabul in August of 2021 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, HIAS rose to two enormous challenges, mobilizing its national and international networks to resettle Afghans and provide humanitarian aid to refugees from Ukraine in several neighboring countries as well as internally displaced persons inside Ukraine. HIAS also launched a new initiative, Welcome Circles, working with local communities across the U.S. and Europe to resettle Afghan and Ukrainian refugees, to complement the HIAS network, consisting of Jewish family service and other local partners.</span></p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion simpatico-grid "> <button class="simpatico-grid"> <div class="timeline-image"> <span class="eyebrow">Onward</span> <div class="image-container"><img width="2600" height="2600" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%202600%202600'%3E%3C/svg%3E" class="attachment-xlarge size-xlarge" alt="" data-lazy-srcset="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square.png 2600w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-300x300.png 300w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-150x150.png 150w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-768x768.png 768w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-1536x1536.png 1536w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-2048x2048.png 2048w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 2600px) 100vw, 2600px" data-lazy-src="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square.png" /><noscript><img width="2600" height="2600" src="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square.png" class="attachment-xlarge size-xlarge" alt="" srcset="https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square.png 2600w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-300x300.png 300w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-150x150.png 150w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-768x768.png 768w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-1536x1536.png 1536w, https://hias.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/202112_Pittsburgh_Afghans_Zubair-and-Family_Square-2048x2048.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 2600px) 100vw, 2600px" /></noscript></div> <p class="xsmall">Zubair Babkarkhail and family left Afghanistan as Kabul was falling. His was one of the families that HIAS helped resettle around the U.S. in 2022. (Stephanie Strasburg for HIAS)</p> </div> <article> <span class="eyebrow">Onward</span> <h3>The Future<span class="button-icon"></span></h3> </article> </button> <div class="content"><p>In 2024, the global number of displaced persons topped 120 million for the first time and continues to grow. In recent years, nativist politicians around the world, along with social, economic, and climatic crises, have increased the pressure on all refugees, asylum seekers and people who have been displaced in any way.</p> <p>HIAS, too, became the target of anti-immigrant sentiment when, in 2018, the gunman who murdered 11 worshippers at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue attacked HIAS’ support for refugees in online posts just before the shootings. In the wake of that horrific act of violence, HIAS built on the public’s newfound awareness and expanded the reach and scope of the organization’s work in the U.S. and across the globe.</p> <p>During this challenging time, HIAS also mounted a legal challenge to President Trump’s refugee ban, and worked to counter the Trump administration’s deep cuts to the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.</p> <p>Today, HIAS has more than 1,800 staff members providing services to refugees and other displaced people in more than 20 countries. In the U.S., our refugee resettlement network has grown to include 30 metropolitan areas across the country. HIAS has also received tremendous support from the American Jewish community and from thousands of Jewish clergy members, with more than 475 synagogues in our network.</p> <p>Working with hundreds of government, corporate, and other partners, HIAS now helps more than a million people each year around the world.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section data-wpr-lazyrender="1"
