JDC Opens Home For Greek Orphans ATHENS — The Esther or- phanage, a home near Athens for Jewish children who lost their parents when the Germans over- ran Greece, has just been open- ed by the Joint Distribution Corn- mittee. It is the first Jewish chil- dren's home to function since the German invasion of Greece. J.D.C. has also provided funds for a summer health program for about 200 needy children. In ad- dition, J.D.C. set up emergency shelter programs for homeless Jews, arranged care for the aged, equipped a medical dispensary and provided funds for the re- pair of schools and Jewish com- munal institutions.

I was asked in all quarters for the help of the Unit- ed States Jewry in sending them rabbis, teachers, religious books and secular books. This is urgent- ly necessary since these Jewish settlements are afraid that their very Jewish existence is in dan- ger of obliteration. The process of Hispanization is very great. The number of mixed marriages in the smaller Latin American countries already exceeds the number of Jewish marriages." Dr. Margoshes reported that the World Jewish Congress was making marked headway in its in- fluence and organization in South America but declared that its work was being hampered by the tactics of the Joint Distribution Committee, "which is everywhere carrying on a planned campaign against the Congress to the point where South American Jews re- gard the J.D.C. as less interested in raising money for relief pur- poses than in alienating the local Jewish population from the Con- gress idea." The same charge is made against the American Jew- ish CoMmittee, whose representa- tives, Dr. Margoshes stated, "ap- pear in South America with the most fantastic and irresponsible stories of the Congress." Summarizing the accomplish- ments of his mission Dr. Mar- goshes said that he had been able to establish a Brazilian Jewish Congress which for the first time unites the 150,000 Jews in Brazil of all political and cultural groups. He revealed, too, that the World Jewish Congress is estab- lishing a Jewish publishing house (Continued on page 11) "NEW and USED LUMBER" 1702 LAKE ST. Phone 3.1541 Kalamazoo, Mich.
