DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle

Community Council Quarterly Conference
To Discuss Protest Against Nazi Atrocities

The next quarterly conference
of the Community Council dele-
gated will be held on Sunday,
Dec. 13, 1942 at 8:15 p. m., in
the Auditorium of the Jewish
Community Center, Woodward at
Holbrook. All delegates of the
Community Council's constituent
organizations are urged to place
this date on their calendar, and
to be sure to attend.
Unlike the November 15 in-
stitute, which was open to the
public, and whose emphasis was
on information of self-appraisal,
the Dec. 13 conference will be
one of the four business meetings
for this season, and will be de-
voted to reports of program and
discussion of policy.
Instead of the usual commit-
tee reports by committee chair-
men, the work of the Community
Council since the last Quarterly
Conference will be surveyed brief-

ly by James I. Ellmann, presi-
dent, Isaac Frank, executive di-
rector, and Gerson B. Chertoff,
research director of the Com-
munity Council. This survey will
then be the subject of discussion,
and action by the delegates will
follow.
Several important items of new
business will be presented by del-
egates for consideration by the
body. Among them will be a dis-
cussion of the proposal that a
mass meeting, be held to pro-
test against the measures of
hundreds of thousands of Jew-
ish people in Nazi occupied
E u ro pe.
Attendance will be recorded,
and organizations not represented
will be advised of the failure of
their delegates to attend. James
1. Ellman, president of the Jew-
ish Community Council, will pre-
side.

The rally, however, is also
diversified with entertainment.
Mrs. Lil Aarons, president of the
auxiliary, announced that Mrs.
Leonard Sims, program chairman,
and Miss Min Cross, associate
chairman, have prevailed upon
Marylin D. Katz, contralto, Uni-

Day of Mourning
Observed by Jews
In 29 Countries

N. Y. Workers Protest
By Work Stoppage

NEW YORK (WNS) — Jews
in 29 free countries joined in the
world-wide observance of a day
of fasting and prayer for the
millions of Jews massacred by
Hitler's legions in blood-soaked
occupied Europe. Synagogues
were crowded with Jews who
closed their businesses and left
their jobs to pray for the vic-
tims of Ilitlerism.
In New York City an esti-
mated 500,000 Jewish workers
participated in a 10-minute work
stoppage. In factories manufac-
turing war essentials, this time
was later made up. Hundreds of
thousands of non-Jewish work-
ers joined in the stoppage and
adopted resolutions condemning
the Nazi brutalities and demand-
ing that the United Nations take
action to stop the mass murders.
Mayor F. H. LaGuardia called
upon the non-Jewish population
of the city to join with their
Jewish friends and neighbors in
observing the Jewish day of
mourning The Mayor said: "I
know that they will want to join
with their Jewish friends and
neighbors in their prayers. No
creed and no faith is safe from
the vicious attacks of the Nazis."
Governor Lehman said in a
statement: "In all pages of his-
tory, we can find no greater ex-
ample of studied cruelty. Obvious-
ly, Hitler and his band of mon-
sters have determined to wipe
out an entire people. This studied
cruelty and brutality has called
forth the deep resentment of all
decent-thinking people in every
part of the world. It is our duty
to wage war so vigorously, so
uncompromisingly that these un-
fortunate men, women and chil-
dren will again be freed and be
able to take their rightful places
in the world of security, peace
and good-will. To that end, we
in this country and in every other
freedom-loving country of the
world must devote every ounce
of our determination, our courage
and our energy."
A proclamation issued in behalf
of the American Jewish Commit-
tee, American Jewish Congress,
Bnai Brith and other leading
Jewish organizations said: "The
greatest calamity in Jewish his-
tory since the destruction of the
Temple has befallen all Jewish
communities in the European
lands occupied by the enemy.
His deliberate and Satanic pur-
pose to destroy Jewish life wher-
ever his power reaches has now
been exposed to the world. Nearly
two million Jews have already
cruelly been done to death and
the remaining millions live in the
shadow of impending doom. In
the hour of their unspeakable
grief and travail, the Jews of
America in the spirit of an an-
cient and invincible faith turn
once again to Him who has been
the guide and guardian of Israel
throughout all generations."
