PRAGUE, (JTA)—David Guzik, director of the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee in Poland, and Gertrude D. Pinsky, director of the
JDC for the Netherlands, were killed last week in a plane crash
at the Prague airfield, it was announced here today. Guzik was en
route from Paris to Warsaw. Miss Pinsky was flying to Prague on
a special mission to bring relief to Czechoslovakian Jews.
Mr. Guzik, 55, was the only one of three JDC directors in
Poland to escape death at the hands of the Nazis. He carried out
an heroic underground relief - program during the years of Nazi
occupation. All members of his family were killed by the NaZis,
with the exception of one son who escaped to Palestine.
Mr. Guzik was returning to Poland after conferences in Paris
with Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, JDC European chairman, in which
new plans were worked out to aid Poland's surviving Jews.
Miss Pinsky, 37, of Cincinnati, last month completed two years
of service with the JDC, holding posts in South America and
Europe. She was born in Russia and came to the U. S. at the age
of seven.

the annual Passover relief effort
for needy _families in Detroit is
now under Wa y.
Contributions to the Passover
relief fund are being accepted
by Smith and- =may be mailed to
him at 1935 Glynn Ct.
Mr: Smith reports:: that . last
year 320 families received assist-
ance from the Mo'os Chitim Com-
mittee. He expressed the view
that an increased relief load is
expected this year.
Since there will be no public
solicitation of funds ; contribu-
tors of former years are asked
to make voluntary contributions.

JDC Mourns Death of Its Representatives
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Emphasizing that the deaths of David
Guzik and . Gertrude D. Pinsky is a great loss not only to the Joint
Distribution Committee, but also - to the hundreds of thousands of
distressed Jews to whom they were bringing aid and comfort,
Edward M. M. Warburg, chairman of the JDC, issued the follow-
ing statement in behalf of the organization:
"In the deaths of Miss 'Pinsky and Mr. Guzik, the JDC has lost
two of its most valued and devoted representatives. Their loss will
come as- a personal grief to hundreds of thousand of distressed
Jews who benefited by their skilled and understanding efforts.
Both died in action, as it were, on missions of mercy for the sur-
viving Jews of Europe.
"David Guzik's name was already a legend in - the Work of
aiding distressed and suffering peoples before death ended his
26-year career with the JDC. When the Nazis occupied Poland, he
refused to leave his people. He went underground and by heroic
service found the ways and means to extend help to Polish Jewry
as they praised through the sorest trial that ever beset any people.
