"LETTER BOX" What Negro Maid Thinks of Jews The following appeared in the letter column "Our Readers Write" in a recent issue of the National Jewish Monthly, published - by Bnai Brith. The Monthly has consented to re-publica- tion of the letter in the correspond- ing column of The Jewish News.—Ed. Editor, The NJM: "I wish I could send a copy of this letter to everyone who is full of bigotry and hate for the Jewish people. I also wish I could include a copy of your wonderful magazine. "I am a Negro maid, employed by the two greatest people in my world. Through them I have acquired a great understanding of your people and I am a much better person as a result. They should be ambassadors of good will for the Jewish people. Amazingly, neither of them had much contact with Negroes, but they show an understanding that I marvel at daily. They explain their holidays to me and their customs, and I really envy them their deep-rooted traditions. Their religion is such a proud and true one that sometimes I wish I had been born a Jew. Don't get me wrong: I am proud of being a Negro, but if my people would only stick together like yours, and have the com- passion and love for one another that yours has, we could make DIVENU much more progress. "The Jewish people of Detroit do much to help mine in the field of segregation, which is a very serious problem here in a city that is supposed to be free from it. I didn't know the Jews were discriminated against just like my people until I read articles in your magazine, for example about the Grosse Pointe shameful practice of not allow- ing Jewish people to live there. "I idolize My employers and their immediate families. So I say "God bless them" and also your magazine, and I am eagerly awaiting the next issue. There is a lot in it that I don't under- stand, so I go to them and they explain it to me gladly.—Ella Halley, Detroit."
