These are your sisters and your brothers who speak.
In their hearts they have the barrenness of the
desert, yes, and in their eyes the hopelessness of the
doomed. They are praying, your brethren.

Praying that their "liberation" from Nazi tyranny
shall not be turned into a mockery by the world's
indifference. Praying that now, after years of tor-
ture and death and a miserable existence in DP
camps, they be helped to rebuild their lives.

They must have hope for the future. They must
have food and clothes and shelter and medicines to
keep them alive ... to•keep alive their hope that to-
morrow—soon—there will be homes and a welcome
waiting for them and their children ... in Palestine,
or some other hospitable land.
Yes, these 1,500,000 European Jews need help and
hope. And you—you and your fellow Americans—
are the only ones who can provide it. UNRRA is be-
ing liquidated. Inter-governmental aid is as yet non-
existent. The $ i 70,000,000 needed to salvage these
innocent people can come only from you.

Save me, 0 God;

for the waters are come in unto my soul,

I sink in deep mire,

where there is no standing:

I am come into deep waters,

where the floods overflow me.

I am weary with my crying;

my throat is dried:
Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

k6lf-2. 194i

Help them, help them. Stretch out your hand in
brotherhood, open your heart in compassion.

Give when you are called on. Give generously and
quickly. . . as much as you can, plus a little more.

This is a year of greater need, because...

1. UNRRA's impending liquidation has placed greater
burdens on the agencies of the United Jewish Appeal.

2. The Jewish population of the DP camps has trebled
in one year ... from 85,000 at the beginning of 1946 to
250,000 in 1947.
•
3. Rehabilitation efforts must be expanded to help
hundreds of thousands in Hungary, Rumania, Poland
and other countries.

4. Medical care and rehabilitation programs must be
provided for the 170,000 surviving Jewish children,
26,000 of whom are in DP camps.

5. Many thousands of Jews must leave Europe because
they have no future there. Palestine must be built up
and developed with UJA funds, to provide for those
who are coming into Palestine now and for those who
will arrive in the future.

6. Many services, including migration, retraining, ad-
justment and special aid for child refugees must be pro-
vided for displaced Jews who find a haven in the U.S.
