Pictorial description of efforts of
United Jewish Appeal to provide re-
fuge for Nazi victims in Palestine
and the Western Hemisphere and to
make the lot of the persecuted more
bearable.

The substantial sandwich is not only the first
meal for these boys on American soil, but it
is also their first taste of freedom. This picture,
taken on a pier in an Eastern United States
seaport, shows a group of refugee children
who were saved by the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee with funds of the United Jewish Appeal.
The photograph below shows three sisters from
Poland in their new haven in Mexico, after
having been helped by the J. D. C. to com-
plete a journey almost around the world.

These refugees are on the
threshold of freedom, board-
ing a neutral vessel in Lisbon

United States and other parts
of the Western Hemisphere.

• The United Jewish Appeal
for Refugees, Overseas Needs
and Palestine has provided
The Jewish News with these
photographs.

tle girl was photograph-
ed on a pier in an East-
ern U. S. seaport, having
been brought here by
the J. D. C.
