Dr. Ellen Ross, Emerita Professor of History and Women’s Studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey will discuss “Food and Shelter for Seven Million: The Women of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) 1945-1947.” She will  delve into the encounters that women of the UNRAA had with the massive human catastrophe faced in the U.S. and British zones of occupation after the defeat of Nazi Germany.
