YOU are responsible for the fate of the Jewish survivors in
Europe and the builders of Palestine. ALL OF US must strive
for the success of the agencies included in the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign—the United Jewish Appeal's three causes, the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee, the United Palestine Appeal and the United
Service for New Americans—as well as the 54 other local, national
and overseas agencies.
MAKE YOUR contribution NOW. Don't wait tp be ASKED.
Call the Allied Jewish Campaign headquarters, 1248 Washington
Boulevard, TEmple 3-5250.
Dear Reader:
A million and a quarter surviving Jews in Europe look to YOU,
and to all American Jews as members of the strongest Jewish com-
munity in the world, to help them rebuild their lives and to proN.7ide
them with the bare necessities which will maintain their existence
as human beings.
Thousands of Detroit Jews must be reached by the great Allied
Jewish Campaign in the plan to make every American Jew a partner
to the relief and reconstruction activities in behalf of the survivors.
It's a huge undertaking.
