"As Christians," Dr. Atkinson said, "we are determined to fight anti-Jewish sentiment not only because it is shameful and de- grading, but because we know it is designed to divide us and make Nazi inroads easy." Dr. Niebuhr asserted that "it would be an inexcusable crime if prejudice prevented the neces- sary measures not only for the self-defense of the Jewish com- munity in Palestine but for its proper functioning in the total community of nations, leagued against Nazism." The Declaration presented at the Garden stressed that "more than a million Jews already have been brutally done to death by the Nazis." Taking a solemn vow, the mass audience proclaimed, in the words of the Hebrew pray- er: "Remember, .0h Lord of Jus- tice and Mercy, the blood that has been shed in vain. Pour out Thy wrath upon the murderers and banish them from under Thy skies. Speed Thy victory and may the light of peace, justice, truth and fraternity rise like the morn." Appealing "to the leadership of the United Nations" to "take public cognizance of the Jewish tragedy in Europe," the Declar- ation pointed out that the "Jew- ish people will emerge from the ghettos and torture chambers of the Nazis to live again as free men in a free world."
