The United Ukrainian American Relief Committee (UURAC) is a charitable organisation. It was founded in June 1944 in Philadelphia (USA) as the Ukrainian Relief Committee, which merged with the Ukrainian War Relief (Detroit) in November of the same year and received its current name. The main goal was to provide financial assistance to Ukrainians in their homeland and other countries where they found themselves as a result of the Second World War. However, since the Soviet government banned direct assistance to individual institutions and individuals in the Ukrainian SSR, the committee's activities were almost exclusively focused on political emigration to Western Europe. ZUADC, like its partner, the Ukrainian Canadian Aid Foundation, provided assistance through the Ukrainian Central Aid Bureau in London, established in 1945. In 1947, the AUADC opened a representative office in Munich, with branches in Salzburg (Austria), Paris, and Brussels. For some time, there were also branches in Trieste (Italy) and Berlin, as well as centres in places of large concentrations of Ukrainians in Germany. During 1947-57, the committee was mainly engaged in the resettlement of Ukrainian emigrants, in particular, about 60,000 people left for the United States with its help. It also carried out a number of measures for the legal defence of Ukrainians in the DP against forced repatriation, for the recognition of the national status of Ukrainian emigrants, and for granting emigrant rights to former soldiers of the Galicia Division, UPA fighters, etc.
