The Liberated Become Liberators
By ABRAHAM COOPER
Presidents Zionist Organization of Detroit
Refugees Use
Their Skills
In War Work
The art of diamond
cutting and polish-
ing, important to
the .war industry,
is being introduced
in the Western
Hemisphere with
the aid of the
"Rescue for Vic-
tory" campaign of
the. United Jewish
Appeal for - Refu-
gees, Overseas
Needs and Pales-
tine. The Allied
Jewish Campaign,
one of the major
beneficiaries of the
War Chest, pro-
vides Detroit Jer-
ry's contributions
to this cause.
The newspaper headlines almost daily give an account
of the triumphant exploits of the British 8th Army. I wonder
how many of us realize that Jewish soldiers from Palestine
have had an outstanding role in the success
of this army's offensive action. It was the
Jewish soldiers who cleared the minefields
in Montgomery's sensational dash from El
Alamein to Tunis. It was the Jewish sol-
diers who followed Montgomery to Sicily
and who fought bravely to drive the Nazis
out of Italy. More than 50,000 Jewish men
and women are today enrolled in the Bri-
tish Army and the Palestine Home Guard.
With the help that we have given to
Mr. Cooper
the program for the upbuilding and defense
of the Jewish Homeland in Palestine, the victims of Hitlerism
have been dramatically converted into heroic liberators. In
the months to come Palestine will occupy a strategic position
in the Allied plans to destroy Hitler's "Fortress Europe."
We can help the Jews of Palestine make their maximum
contribution to democratic victory through the United Jew-
ish Appeal, which is the major beneficiary of the Allied
Jewish Campaign.
If the United Palestine Appeal, which is the instrument
for the reconstruction of Palestine, is to receive adequate
funds for its program in the coming year, the entire Jewish
community of Detroit must respond on a new level of
generosity to the War Chest of Metropolitan Detroit.
