'Gentlemen;
Throughout the past decade of destruction of
human life • and decency by the Nazi regime, the American
people have, through private relief and reconstruction
agencies, manifested their deep concern and sympathy
for the victims of racial and religious oppression.
The preservation of the life of those whom -the tyrants
sought to destroy has been supported not only out of
humanitarian considerations, but for the sake of sus-
taining the spirit of freedom and democracy in the
lands where it has been temporarily crushed.

The reconstructive help that has been extended
through the United Jewish Appeal has been .a great
physical and spiritual-bulwark for many victims of
oppression. Relief afforded to -these victims over-
seas and aid extended to newcomers in our own country
are praiseworthy humanitarian undertakings. It is my
hope that •the 1943 campaign of the United Jewish
Appeal will make possible the continuance of this con-
tribution to the alleviation of human suffering.
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. William Rosenwald,
Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver,
Rabbi Jonah B. Wise,
National Chairmen,
United Jewish Appeal,
342 Madison Avenue,
New York, New York.
President Roosevelt's heartening message to the national co-
chairmen of the United Jewish Appeal is spurring the drives
for overseas relief, assistance to refugees and reconstruction
work in Palestine throughout the country. In Detroit., the
United Jewish Appeal receives its support from the Allied
Jewish Campaign through the War Chest.
