Isidore Sobeloff-
Nate Shapero—
Leonard Simons—
"Never before has there been an appeal
comparable to the 1946 Allied Jewish Cam-
paign. Forty percent of all the Jews in the
entire world have been slaughtered in the
last decade. Help can still reach the remain-
ing 1,400,000 European Jews if we recog-
nize the seriousness, the expense, and the
immediacy of the problem—and act
promptly.
"Our own well-being is involved and the
very future of our people is at stake. For-
tner standards of giving must be scrapped.
Giving from income is not enough. The
contributing public must dip into its capital
and savings.
"Compared to what it has cost our Euro-
pean fellow Jews, this is an easy price for
us to pay. The Jews of the twentieth
century overseas are well worth it. We must
exercise our imagination and bring into
play a new sense of social values. The
Jews here at home must prove eptial to
this great occasion."
"The remnant of European Jewry had to be
strong to go through their ordeal. We need
the moral and spiritual strength of these Jews
to carry on real Judaism.
"The democracies failed them in their time
of terrible need. Let its not lose our last
chance to save what is left of them now. We
are their last resort. Through them, we save
ourselves.
"Grant hope to those who are fast losing
hope. Give generously to the United Jewish
Appeal."
"In toy estimation, this two million dol-
lar campaign is the greatest test of char-
acter we Jews of Detroit will over experi-
ence during our lifetime. We hold in our
power the ability to permit a million and
a quarter Jews to live or to die.
"Think of it! You yourself through the
gift of just some of your money can say
whether human beings—your co-religionists
—shall live or die. That's it . . . That's
this campaign pure and simple. The other
explanations are secondary. Remember this
when you are asked to give."

"Every Jew in Detroit should give to
this campaign as he would give to the
needs of his own family. These 'wretched
Jews in Europe are our own sisters and
brothers and they look to its for their very
lives. We must all give in that light, give
as we never gave before."

Irving Blumberg—
"The current Allied Jewish Campaign for
the United Jewish Appeal is the greatest pro-
ject in our history in two important ways.
First, we in America are the richest Jewish
Lommunity in the world. Secondly, the need
of our brethren overseas is the most acute
in our entire histoy as a people.
"With the call for help tremendously, beyond
description and the ability of American Jews
to give on an unprecedented level, the present
drive should bring forth an outpouring of
generosity that will match the immensity of
the need. Lives are at issue and every Jew in
Detroit should respond accordingly. If ever
heroic giving represented enlightened self-
interest, this is the time."
Fred Butzel-
"The current Allied Jewish Campaign is
a critical one without precedent and, we
hope, without repetition. 'The opening of
the concentration camps in Germany by
the American armed forces has given its
access to the remnant of Israel which has
been most harmed and the prospective
opening of Palestine to immediate immi-
gration gives us a unique opportunity for
salvation. I am sure the Detroit Jewish
community will do its share."
