With the end of the war and the defeat of Nazi Germany, the Allied armies were confronted with one of the byproducts of the Nazi regime - millions of 'displaced persons', many of whom had nowhere to go, and some of whom were Jewish survivors of the Nazi Holocaust. Eventually Displaced Persons camps were established under the auspices of the American & British militaries in their spheres of influence in Germany, Austria and Italy. Theser were in turn later overseen by the newly established agency UNRAA which was soon followed by the IRO (International Refugee Organization).

Letter of Chizuk
Letter from Harav Yitzchok Scheiner shlita: The coronavirus has been a nisayon for klal yisrael. People should take precautionary measures not to get infected or infect others and should avoid public gatherings such as crowding events at simchas which can cause damage to people and bitul torah. Additionally, anyone whose doctors tells them that taking the vaccine will help prevent them from getting infected should do so as a form of Hishtadlus and not withhold from it.
The main thing is to strengthen ourselves with Torah learning and to discuss emunah and Bitachon with family members. By doing so we will do the ratzon hashem and hashem should take away thi9s mageifa from our midst and bring the geulah amen.
