American Jewry Aids
In Quest for Freedom

The war has increased Jewish responsibilities to refugees
and to the men in uniform who are fighting the battle for
freedom on all fronts. Refugees and estranged exiles from
Nazi-controlled lands are being cared for by the United.
Jewish Appeal for Refuges, Overseas Needs and Palestine.
The Jewish Welfare Board provides for the recreational
and spiritual needs of our servicemen. In Detroit, these
great causes receive their support through the Allied Jewish
Campaign and the USO, which are included in the War
Chest of Metropolitan Detroit.
