it more dramatically than England's Prime Minister Win-
Ston Churchill who said : "None has suffered more cruelly
than the Jew the unspeakable evils wrought on the bodies
and spirits of men by Hitler and his vile regime. The Jew
bore the brunt of the Nazi's first onslaught on the citadels
of freedom and human dignity . . . He has not allowed it
to break the spirit; he has never lost the will to resist.
Assuredly on the day of victory the Jew's suffering and
his part in the struggle will not be forgotten."
I repeat the words—"on the day of victory the Jew's
suffering and his part in the struggle will not be forgot-
ten." But until t h at day
comes it is our responsibili-
ty to sustain the Jewish peo-
ple in Europe, to help de-
fend Palestine, to aid the
refugees in our midst so that
the Jews who were the first
victims of Hitlerism may not
be the last to recover from
its cruel blows.
In this great struggle for
the survival of free civiliza-
tion, each of us must take
our posts at some point in
the great front line of free
men and women. The front
lines are marked for us by
the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee, the United Palestine
Appeal, the National Refu-
gee Service. They are pre-
pared for us by the national

agencies and by the local
causes we help sustain through the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign. They are clear-cut as efforts for the retention of
the identity of the Jewish people.
Our people are called to action through the Allied
Jewish Campaign. All of us must come forward with most
onstructive efforts to make the campaign a success, by
-giving liberally, and iby working for the retention of the
honor of the Jewish people in this crisis. Only in this way
can we contribute towards the winning of the battle for
