Officers, Committee Chairmen

Named for Detroit's Greatest
Emergency Jewish Campaign

Selection of officers and chairmen of the - Detroit
Emergency $2,000,000 Allied Jewish Campaign, an-
nounced this week by Nate S. Shapero, general chair-
man, and the setting of Tuesday, May 7, as the official
date for the opening of the unprecedented 1946 drive,
have set in motion the great task of assuring success
of the drive. Its objectives are to provide the neces-
sary relief for the 1,250,000 Jewish survivors in Europe;
to provide means for the settlement of hundreds of
thousands of them in Palestine and to assure proper
reception for the thousands who will be brought to
this country.
Detroit's $2,000,000 drive is part of the national
$100,000,000 campaign of the United Jewish Appeal,
embracing three cooperating agencies: American, Jew-
ish Joint Distribution Committee, United Palestine
Appeal and National Refugee Service.

Just a Slice of Bread, But It Tells

Story of UellA's Life Saving Work

The Jewish News presents for the consideration of its readers the photograph (upper)

of two of the liberated European Jewish children. Note how tightly one of them clutches

the slice of bread given her by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. These

children are symbolic of the masses of Jewish survivors who crave for the opportunity to

settle in Palestine, who look to us, the Jews of America, to provide them with the means

with which to rebuild their lives. By guaranteeing the success of the Emergency Detroit

$2,000,000 Allied Jewish Campaign we shall be signalling to them the message of Passover

that no shall go hungry, that all shall be freed, that there shall be an end to their misery.
