The background of this document: As WWII came to an end and after it, thousands of refugees gathered in Arad, Romania (south Transylvania), including rabbis and rebbes. In the summer of 1944, Rebbe Chaim Meir Hager of Vizhnitz the Imrei Chaim fled to Arad for a short period, later continuing on to Bucharest and finally returning to his town Grosswardein (Oradea). Throughout the war and after it, "he collected funds to release prisoners and helped people in their times of distress" (Kedosh Yisrael, II, p. 572). These receipts documents the activities of the Rebbe, through the local branch of Agudath Israel, in offering the refugees financial assistance. The receipts was sent to the rebbe in 1945 or 1946, while the rebbe was residing in Bucharest or Grosswardein.
