The first documentary film on post-war conditions of 1,500,000 Jewish survivors of Nazism in Europe was presented by the Joint Distribution Committee today in a showing held at the Museum of Modern Art. Titled Report on the Living, it is a 16 mm sound picture consisting almost entirely of original footage filmed expressly for the J.D.C. in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, France and the displaced persons’ camps of Germany, Austria and Italy. Report on the Living records the recent trip of Edward M.L. Warburg, chairman of the J.D.C., to observe the use and distribution of relief supplies and to develop new J.D.C. programs of relief, resettlement and reconstruction.
