Hadassah Gets First Hand Reports on Israel's Life-Saving
Programs
Romanian Jews are being led
from slavery to freedom in the
present new exodus from East-
ern Europe, and the new rescue
operation represents another
miracle linked to the rebirth
of Israel, Dr. Ruth Gruber told
a gathering of 400 Hadassah
women, at Temple Israel, Tues-
day.
The noted author and lec-
turer, who only a few days
previously had returned from
Vienna and Israel, where she
reported on the new Romanian
immigration movements as cor-
respondent for the New York
Herald Tribune, reviewed the
several rescue efforts which en-
abled Israel to provide security
and homes for more than a
million escapees from persecu-
tions.
In 1946, Dr. Gruber pointed
out, survivors from Hitlerism
were save d. In 1947, it was
Cyprus. In 1948, the displaced
persons camps were emptied by
the welcome to the survivors
given by Israel. In 1949, it was
the movement of the Bible Jews
from Yemen. Then came the
numerous other migrations —
from Romania under Ana
Pauker, from North Africa,
from Moslem countries.
"Every rescue instance rep-
resented a miracle, and Israel
continues to create miracles of
rescue activities," Dr. Gruber
said. She recalled her assign-
ment to Oswego, N.Y., by the
U.S. Government, when 1,000
Jews were accommodated there,
and she showed how infinitesi-
mal that project was in com-
parison with the mass move-
ment of immigrants into Israel.
In 11 years, she said, Israel
rescued more than a million,
thus overshadowing all other
worldwide relief movements.
She paid tribute to Hadas-
sah as an agency of great
accomplishments and as a
movement that remains in the
center of creative efforts in
Israel, and urged unstinted
support for the Allied Jewish
Campaign to assure that the
United Jewish Appeal will
