Near East Relief Historical Society
The early 20th century was a time of global upheaval. As the Ottoman Empire collapsed, it orchestrated a genocide that killed more than 1.5 million Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians. Near East Relief was formed in urgent response to these turbulent events.
During a historic relief effort from 1915-1930, Near East Relief rescued more than one million people; fed 12 million people, built 40 hospitals, and housed, taught and cared for 132,000 orphans in a vast system of orphanages and schools.
The Near East Relief Historical Society commemorates America’s historic response to the Armenian, Assyrian and Anatolian Greek genocide by preserving, reconstructing and sharing the rich history of the relief effort.
