JEWISH NEWS

Dear Children
We Will Not Let You Die

Yes, we know that you are starved and
frightened and ill -- your eyes haunted
with horror and your hearts torn with
longing for parents you saw go into gas
chambers and crematoria.
But, dear Children, you need no
longer wish for death to rescue you.
We in America have resolved that you
shall live, that your broken bodies
shall be mended, your broken lives made
whole. We are determined that we will
give you the chance to grow up as use-
ful, decent citizens -- strong and proud
and free.
Your brothers and sisters had the
highest place on Hitler's priority of
murder. But now you have the highest
place on our priority of rescue. Hold
fast to your little strength. Help is
on the way from America!

than that of other war victims. Most of them are not
receiving any aid from inter-g4tvernmental sources. Anti-
Semitism and displacement deprive them of opportuni-
ties for self-support. They call out to us not for preferen-
tial treatment, not for special favors, but merely for the
chance to survive.
We must give not only convenient dollars but sacrificial
dollars. We must give not merely out of income, but out
of savings—yes, out of necessities if need be.
The Jews of Europe — starved, maimed, persecuted,
decimated have nowhere to look but to us for their sur-
vival. They call out ta us —"Shall we live or shall we
die?" You will decide.



for the United Jewish Appeal. Work as you've
never worked before. Give us your time—your effort-
your services.

WORK

SACRIFICE! Can you honestly enjoy all the good things

of life amid so much suffering? Do you feel quite right
about being so comfortable, when over a million of your
brothers starve ... and live in fear?

GIVE when you are called on. Unprecedented generosity
is needed for these unprecedented needs.
