UNRRA Part 2/3

The Forgotten Mission documentary tells the story of international assistance to Belarus from 1946-47, a time of devastation, famine and shortage of resources. UNRRA (The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration) deployed a mission of experts and technical staff to Minsk to help Belarusian authorities determine the countrys immediate needs and ensure effective distribution of supplies. The U.S. Embassy in Belarus together with the United Nations Office and World War II Museum in Minsk researched the issue, resulting in this film portraying a string of events linking Belarusians to this page of the nations history.
