The Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced Foreign Scholars

From Wikipedia, the incredible story of the Committee that helped academics escape Nazism. The best part? It was run by Edward R. Murrow. It's a forerunner to the Institute of International Education. Check out its history page.

Unbelievable that Murrow was only 24 when he was put in charge. It's an unusual activist project, so I wonder how he got into it.
