In the Name of Humanity
American Relief Aid in Greece, 1918-1929
Edited by Eleftheria Daleziou Edited by Maria Georgopoulou Edited by Natalia Vogeikoff-Brogan
On the centenary of the signing of the Lausanne Convention, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens presented an exhibition spotlighting a monumental humanitarian endeavor etched in history: the American relief aid extended to Greece between 1918 and 1929. The exhibition brought into focus the tireless efforts of diverse individuals, ranging from political appointees and philanthropic leaders to educators and dedicated relief workers. Motivated by a sense of duty rooted in Christian, patriotic, and/or personal beliefs, they collectively played a pivotal role in reshaping Greece after 1922. The exhibition drew on a rich array of resources, including correspondence, official documents, rare publications, photographs, artifacts, posters, short films, and handmade crafts. These treasures, curated from the extensive collections of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and the holdings of various institutions, converge here for the first time to weave a compelling narrative of profound significance.
