American Jewry's Aid to Palestine Appeal

NEW YORK—During the 12 years of the Hitler regime,
the Jewish homeland in Palestine served as the primary
haven of refuge for Jews fleeing from Nazi-inspired persecu-
tion, it was repOrted by Rabbi James G. Heller, National
Chairman of the United Palestine Appeal, who declared that
with the aid of American Jews some 355,000 Jews from Ger-
many and other European lands

found a permanent home in Pal-
estine since 1933.
Rabbi Heller is leaving for a
three month stay in Palestine.
He will be the first American
Jewish leader to reach Palestine
'since the end of the war in
Europe. He is expected to study
every phase of the development
and upbuilding program.
Rabbi Heller stated that the
bulk of the refugees who reach-
ed Palestine entered during the
•period from 1933 to the outbreak
of World War II, and that more
than 60,000 arrived in Palestine
with the help of the UPA during
the war years from Allied, neu-
tral, occupied and liberated ter-
ritories.
$90,000,000 Expended
The Jewish Agency for Pales-
tine, the Palestine Foundation
Fund and the Jewish National
Fund, which raise ,funds in the
U. S. through the instrumental-
ity of the UPA spent more than
$90,000,060 during this period for
immigration, agricultural settle-
inent, and acquisition of land, the
development of industry and the
advancement of economic and
Cultural activities.
- The agencies represented in
the UPA are seeking to raise
'$35,300,000 this year to help set-
tle in Palestine the hundreds of
thousands of survivors in Europe
who do not want to go back to
the lands where they and their
families were subjected to ruth-
!•less perSecutions.
Rabbi •eller paid tribute to
the leadership and vision of the
flews of the_ U. S:, whose .gen-
erous .support of the UPA
• throughout the period of severest
attack upon the Jews overseas,
. enabled the ancient Jewish
,homeland of Palestine to receive
and give new life to - their op-
pressed and homeless fellow-
Jews.
Peak Immigration Years
He pointed out that through-
out the Hitler era, the Jewish
homeland in Palestine adthitted
a greater number of Jews than
any other country in the world.
