salvation. Others who iltave relatives in the United States
hope to come to this country. All of the homeless look
to the 3100,000,000 United Jewish Appeal for Refugees,
Overseas Needs and Palestine to save them from des-
pair and want. In the three drawings reproduced here,
George Biddle, the noted American artist, pictures
some of the old and the young survivors of Hitler who
are still living in barrack-like D.P. camps waiting for
deliverance from a twilight existence. To aid the United
Jewish Appeal in its campaign'in behalf of the 1,400,000
surviving Jews in Europe, Mr. Biddle made his collec-
tion of drawings of scenes in D.P. camps available for'
a special exhibit under the auspices of the combined
campaign for the Joint Distribution Committee, the
United Palestine Appeal and National Refugee Service.
Mr. Biddle went to Germany for Look Magazine.
