To ensure the maximum benefit from these independent efforts, they formed a Joint Distribution Committee of Funds for Jewish War Sufferers (now known as JDC). By the war's end, JDC had spent $15 million on the crucial work of saving lives. Posters were effective visual tools used by JDC to galvanize public attention and support. Artist Johnstone Burke Studios. Lithographed by Sackett & Wilhelms Corporation, Brooklyn, , 1917.
