Imagine the added horror of this
war without the Red Cross !
Suppose the Red Cross had
never been created
would now be no Army of Mercy to save and
T
comfort the millions of lives wrecked or dislocated—
all over the world—by earth's most destructive war. No

Thousands of War Prisoners would be forgotten. That they have not been
abandoned to their fate in this war is the achievement of your Red Cross,
which has constantly reached them, even in Japan, with morale-building
parcels of food, extra clothes, medicines, cigarettes and other comforts.
More and more of your dollars are urgently needed to keep our men in life,
health and hope until they can be brought safely home!
Thousands at Front would be tormented by Home Worries. Millions of fighters
bless the Red Cross for relief from anxiety. Each week thousands of
messages pass between Red Cross Field Directors with the troops and
Home Service workers in home towns—emergency questions about wives,
children, as eethearta or parents. Your dollars will bolster fighting spirit.

millions of pints of blood would be collected for plasma.
No millions of heartening, sustaining food packages
would be delivered to despondent Allied war prisoners.
No emergency messa ges from home would reach our men.
No giant hand of compassion would be outstretched
to help the victims of flood, famine and hurricane.
Only chaos would be left in the wake of battle and
catastrophe—if the RED CROSS' hand of mercy were
withdrawn!
It is up to you to give—in gratitude that your RED
CROSS was created—and grew to keep pace with the
world's anguished need.
Give your dollars now—give more than ever before!
Thousands would die from loss of blood where they fell. This is the first war in
which -the folks at
home actually saved lives at the front. Surgeons General
of the Army and Navy say blood plasma has been the feremcst life-saver in
this war. The Red Cross, through your blood donations and money, has
collected and distributed millions of pints to the medical services.

Russians Save
5,000 Jews
BUCHAREST (WNS) — More
than 5,000 Jews in the notorious
Oswiecim camp, Poland, were
saved from certain death at the ,,e --
hands of the Nazis as a result (a-
of the rapid advance of the Red 'a -
Army which liberated the area .`
in which the camp was located,
it was related here by Isaac
Leibowitz, the first Jewish sur-
vivor to reach here from Os-
wiecim,
"When the Russian Army was
advancing towards Oswiecim," he
related, "the camp administra
ti011 rushed the crematories from
the camp into the interior of
Germany. At the same time,
they executed about 600 Jews
who were working at the ovens
cremating the bodies of tens of
thousands of Jews and who could
have told how in September
alone the Germans burned alive
20,000 Jews in the Osweicim
camp."
When it became obvious that
the Russian armies would soon
reach Oswiecim, the Germans re-
moved many of the Jews to
other concentration camps. In
one of these camps he found his
i)
brother, Marton, who had been
evacuated from the Birkennu ex-
termination camp where he wit-
nessed the cremation by the Nazis
of 2,800 Jewish children.
