A child afraid of the Springtime?
.
Spring was made for children, like laughter and warm
sun. Why should a child fear these?
You would have to live where she lives to un-
derstand. You would have to know that your
home can be entered and searched night or
day, your father taken off to prison for as lit-
tle reason as — that he received a letter post-
marked "Israel."
Yes, there is a place in the world where that can be
a reason for persecution. This little girl lives there.
She saw her father taken away three years ago.
Now he has come out of prison. And he and all the
Jews of that land, which shall be nameless here, have
— miraculously been given permission to leave. Of
course, most of what they possess, save the clothes
they wear, will have to remain behind. No matter.
What matters is that they must leave by May 31,
this year — or never leave at all. For on that fateful
day the exit doors will be slammed shut. Now do you
understand how a little girl can be afraid of the
Springtime? Understanding, will you help wipe the
fear from' her heart?
Will you help her and all the other thousands
who pray for the ships and planes that can take
them out of danger and oppression to Israel
and freedom? Will you help them — as you
helped 500,000 others in the last three years
—build homes and a new life there?
You can—so easily—by contributing to the United
Jewish Appeal. Do it now, quickly, while there is time.
Give today. Give more than ever before.
