Scope and
Content
These file drawers cover the early
work of MCC in Southern France. It was born as a result of the Civil War in Spain. Refugees of that war fled to France.
At the
same time the advance of World War II created misery.
MCC brought material aid to relieve
the
situation. Several children's homes were
started.
This period of MCC's work marked a
close cooperation with the American Friends Service Committee already
located
in France
and also set the tone for future work:
Close association with the nationals,
no discrimination in terms of race
or creed, involvement with many organizations and individuals, personal
contact
and a flexible attitude.
The material in IX-19-1 deals
indirectly with the Spanish war through the correspondence of the
workers in Southern France.
Some of the persons who worked
directly with the Spanish refugees, especially
in homes or "colonies" for the children were Ernest Bennett and Edna
Ramseyer.
This material is not in Spanish,
although there are many files of correspondence in French.
