Jewry had a major share through
the funds raised by the United
Jewish Appeal for Refugees and
Overseas Needs. In addition, the
governments of Hollands and
Belgium had contributed their
resources toward aiding the refu-
gees in those countries. With the
sudden extension of the war to
these areas, the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee, which is a par-
ticipant with the United Pales-
tine Appeal and the National
Refugee Service in the nation-
wide campaign to raise $23,000,-
000 for the United Jewish Ap-
peal, will be required to increase
its support to Jews in distress
in these lands. The Jewish popu-
lation affected by the latest de-
veolpments of the war is as fol-
lows: 156,000 Jews in Holland;
60,000 in Belgium; 3,000 in
Luxemburg. There are more than
21,000 refugees in Holland; 22,-
000 in Belgium and 350 in
Luxemburg. Prior to the inva-
sion, the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee was contributing toward
.
the maintenance of 7,000 refu-
gees in Holland and 15,000 in
Belgium.
