the town of Kishinev counted
the toll of damage to the Jews:
47 dead, 92 severely injured;
2,000 families homeless, 123
children orphaned, 600 shops
plundered.
Even then, there was an "iron
curtain" of Czarist censorship;
however, news soon leaked out
shocking' the world.
In 50 American cities, Amer-
ican leaders denounced' Russia's

_Money_ was needed to aid the
Kishinev survivors, and Oscar
Straus,' Jacob. fr.: Schiff and,
Cyrus. L. Sulzberger succeeded
irr raising $100,000,
:But:that - did not end the pog-
roms in Kishinev. A second
massacre broke out in 1905,
with thousands more Jews made
homeless. The same three gen-
tlemen sent 1,400 telegrams
across the nation, and over
$1,250,000 was sent to Russian
Jews.
Anti-Semitism, however, con-
tinued in Romania and Gal-
icia, as well as Russia itself.
Informal gatherings were pro-
posing a permanent committee

such problems

met.
They were

be elevated to Marshall
the Supreme Court .of New
York; Dr. Joseph Jacobs, the
historian; and Cyrus L. Sulz-
berger.
They called together 57 Jew-
ish leaders, but there was no
unanimity of the purpose of
such an organization, how ex-
tensive should be its authority,
what should be its structure.
But the idea did not die, and,
out of a meeting a short time
later was -to emerge the Amer-
ican Jewish. ecvnmittee of the
