Professions Set Pace in Coverage
01 Allied Jewish Campaign Slips
From the memory book of Harold Kempner, director of
the Professional Division of the Allied Jewish Campaign: A
street scene in Munich, birthplace of Nazism, the day Israel
declared its independence.
Setting the pace for all divisions in the Allied Jewish
Campaign, the Professional Division, headed by Dr. Charles
Lakoff, has raised 75 percent of its 1949 total pledges in
five weeks of active solicitation.
This campaign success is gratifying to division director
_Harold Kempner, who came to the AJC post directly from
.
five years as a social worker in
the displaced persons camps in
Germany.
In Germany, where the degra-
dation and the hope of the refu-
gees were so vividly present, the
identification with the overseas
causes of the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign was overwhelming, Kemp-
ner recalls. Staff members of
the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee voted a month's pay to the
United Jewish Appeal. Non-
Jewish soldiers, unasked, donat-
• ed up to two months' pay. Even
inside the camps, the United
Jewish Appeal was carried on
vigorously, and residents who
did not give what their fellows
thought they could afford were
ostracized.

cent increases.
In teachers' section, Mrs.
George Blumenstock helped or-
ganize teachers' solicitation, cov-
ered her own slips 100 percent.
