still in Latvia, were in charge.
Within Germany itself the offi-
cial Zionist paper, the Juedische
Rundschau, was the source of hope
and courage for the besieged Jew-
ish population. It gave the Jews
of the country stability of mind,
and pride in suffering ., so that
the "yellow badge" became a
mark of distinction. The Rund-
schau was finally suppressed and
Dr. Robert Weltsch, the editor,
forced to leave the country.
I)r. Leo Baeck and Dr. Otto
Hirsch were the first to assume
command over relief work. They
were assisted by the Zionist lead-
er, I)r. Siegfried Moses, and the
three together arranged transit
to Palestine for the many Jews
who were to find themselves—to
their own great surprise—in the
Mediterranean country.
British Jewry took charge of
the refugee problem at the be-
ginning of 1933. The Council for
German-Jewish Refugees, estab-
lished that year, was made up of
Britigh-Jewish leaders represent-
ing all segments of Jewish opin-
ion. Among its directive forceA
are Dr. Chaim Weizmann, Simon
Marks, president of the Keren
Hayesod in England, Harry Sach-
er, a former member of the Zion-
ist Executive, and Professor Selig
Brodetsky, the incumbent presi-
dent of the British Board of Jew-
ish Deputies who has for many
years been it member of the Ex-
ecutive of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine.
