The American Red Cross works with a global network of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to restore hope and dignity to the world's vulnerable people. The International Red Cross movement brings emergency relief to disaster victims and improves basic living conditions of those in chronically deprived areas of the world. Guided by our seven Fundamental Principles of Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity and Universality — the American Red Cross partners with countless organizations in the efficient and effective relief of human suffering and the empowerment of people with the skills they need to help themselves.

Tracing & Messaging
The Red Cross conducts the tracing of family members who have been separated due to war, civil unrest or disasters in other countries (including those separated due to the Holocaust). We exchange family messages when regular communication channels are severed.
