The Blue Card

The Blue Card is a charitable organization whose mission is to provide direct financial assistance to needy Holocaust survivors. It was established in 1934 by the Jewish community in Germany and reestablished in the United States in 1939. Its name derives from the original blue paper cards issued to Jewish donors who contributed funds for individuals harmed by rising antisemitism before the war. The organization reports serving nearly 3,000 Holocaust survivor households across 35 states, with over $40,000,000 in grants given since inception.

The Blue Card was established in 1934 by the Jewish community in Germany to help those already suffering under Nazi restrictions, business closures, and forced loss of livelihood. In 1939, the organization was reestablished in the United States to continue aiding refugees of Nazi persecution as they sought safety and a new beginning in America. After the Holocaust, its mission expanded to help survivors of the Shoah establish stable new lives in the United States. The organization's name comes from the original blue paper cards issued to Jewish donors who contributed funds for individuals harmed by rising antisemitism before the war, with each contribution marked by a stamp on the card.
