Mrs. Bertha Glicksman

"We have reason to hope that
with the gathering strength of
the Allied offensive, the anguish
and misery of Hitler's oppres-
sion will soon be ended that the
end of this decade of Hitlerism
will bring a new era for our
hardpressed people. The past 10
years have demonstrated that
only through self-help can we
assure the survival of our peo-
ple. How our fellow-Jews are to
achieve a measure of happiness
and security in a world liberated
from Hitlerism will be largely
determined by the progress Amer-
ican ,Jews make through the fund-
raising instrumentality of the

reaching rescue work in Europe,
