Y. (JTA) — Gov. Thomas E. Dewey issued through the Jewish Telegraphic Agency the folloWing Rosh Hashanah message. "As Governor of the State of New York and on my own behalf, I am happy to extend to the peo- ple of Jewish faith my heartiest greetings and sincere good wishes at the beginning of their New Year. "There never was a time, I believe, in the history of the Jewish people when the celebra- tion of Rosh Hashanah was so pregnant with meaning. At this particular date, it should also bring consolation, and hope. "This year marks the destruc- tion of the enemy who made it the first article of their creed to torture and destroy the Jewish people. In these painful years, all have learned the grim truth: that those oppressors are the enemies of all decency, of all freedom, of all civilization. Hails Jewish Soldiers "In the battle for freedom, soldiers of Jewish faith have played a brilliant and thrilling part, notable for valor and en- durance. While we all rejoice with you, we also mourn with you for all the brave fighting men who have perished. We mourn with you, too, for the un- told, unparalleled sufferings and destruction inflicted upon those of your faith in the conquered countries. We feel with you, too, the horror and the incredulity at the unexampled and unbelievable mass destruction which has been visited upon the Jewish commun- ities in Europe as the Nazi hordes flee desperately from the doom that pursues them throughout the _ Continent of Europe. "You have occasion to celebrate your 5705th Nelk Year in the spirit of hope, such as has not been possible for a long, long time. You have cause, too, for hope that the quickening tempo of our victorious armies may soon bring to an end the assault upon civilization in Europe. Emerged Stronger "The people of Jewry also have the consolation that • from each successful trial that they have undergone, they have emerged stronger. Persecution after per- secution has served only to toughen and weld the character of the Jewish people to a vitality which nothing, can corrOde. Americans of • Jewish faith have contributed mightily to our culture, our polity, our citizenship, our respect for the dignity of the individual. May these essential qualities- .of a civilized world be brought to suf- fering peoples everywhere. "We have reason to believe that the coming year will be inscrjbed as a truly happy one."
