Jews Marching to Their Death

Proof that D-Day meant the beginning of further retaliation
against Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe is shown in the above photo
in which Nazis are rounding up Jews for deportation to execution
centers. This fact was borne out in a message by President Roose-
velt six days after D-Day, in which he declared that "as the hour
of the final defeat of the Hitlerite forces draw closer, the
fury of their insane desire to wipe out the Jewish Race in Europe
continues undiminished." • American Jews are intensifying their
efforts in behalf of the United Jewish Appeal for $32,000,000.
