In spite of the fact that Italy
had an unbroken link with Jew-

bees – links that were unbroken
even by the Nazi terror—such a
history was lacking.
It is a matter of great satisfac-
tion that such a history should

Program Overseas
NEW YORK. (JTA)—Dr. J. J.
Golub, director of the Hospital
for Joint Diseases in New York
and chairman of the Health Com-
mittee of the Joint Distribution
Committee, has issued a call for
physicians, dentists, public health
workers, nurses and psychia-
trists to "join the battle for
health in which the distressed
Jews of Europe—first victims of
Nazi torture and oppression —
are now engaged."
Nearly 30 persons are now on
the medical staff of the JDC in
Europe, Dr. Golub pointed out,
but more are needed. They work
together with local health and
medical organizations to create
and develop public health ser-
vices, sanitaria, clinics and hos-
pitals throughout the continent.
