In 1949 the first nonEuropean office was opened in Japan. but Europe remained a prime focus for distribution activities during those first busy years. With each new natural or manmade disaster CARE was on the front lines of the relief efforts. During those first formative years thousands of CARE packages were flown into Berlin when the Soviets blockaded the city. into Holland when the Danube flooded. into Greece when it was struck by earthquakes. into Austria when it was deluged with Hungarian refugees. and into numerous other disaster areas where relief was needed. Behind the closing Iron Curtain. however. it was a different story. Harassed CARE offices were shut down in Poland.
