He added that JFS was the
only family service agency
in Detroit to receive the
funds. A total of 557 persons
benefited from the grant.
Lerner said the agency has
already applied for a grant
for 1984, asking for more
money and for food and
emergency rent payments.
Of the 557 who benefited
from the FEMA grant,
Lerner said 31 percent of
the cases were Orthodox
Jewish families who were
not previous clients of JFS,
27 percent were current
clients of JFS and 42 per-
cent were Resettlement

whom were Russian immig-

Bernard Stollman,
president of the RS, said
the "Russian refugees
are the poorest of all the
poor in the Detroit area."
Stollman said that the
language barrier pre-
sented a problem and
that the newly arrived
Russians "are the least
aware of whatever gov-
ernment services are
available to them." He
said many may have had
relatives or contacts in
the Detroit area at one
time, but those persons
have moved leaving the
immigrants "totally for-
gotten."

Lerner said
$290,000 in cash was given
away in 1983 for rent sub-
sidies, clothing and medical
aid. He broke the figure
down thus: about $210,000
went to JFS clients, $44,000
went to RS clients and about
$1,500 was given to what
Lerner called the "transient
poor" who were provided
with food and a place to stay
at the House of Shelter. A
total of $35,000 was used for
food distribution in a pro-
gram coordinated with
Focus: Hope. Besides direct
cash grants, the JFS also
"subsidized" (in Lerner's
terms) its clients by accept-
ing less than a full fee for its
counseling services.
Mrs. Weiner and Lerner
emphasized that JFS is not
just a cash distributing
agency. "People mistakenly
identify the JFS as a finan-
cial agency," Lerner said.
"It deals with feelings. It is

know that we treat them on

"We are reaching more
of the general population
of Jewish families who
can't make it. Detroit is
one of four or five com-
munities in the country
where a significant
amount of money was
given to help Jews in a fi-
nancial crisis."
Marvin Daitch, president
of the JFS, commented thus:
"We have had an aggres-
sive outreach program look-
ing for the Jewish poor."
Regarding the FEMA
grant, Daitch said, "We be-
lieve we will get another al-
location. These funds
allowed us to find a pocket of
the Jewish population we
haven't served in the past."
Daitch said the JFS
spends "a lot of time and ef-
fort to find" the Jewish poor.
He said the combination of
the "professional
capabilities" of the JFS staff
and the fact that the agency
has long ago instituted proj-
ects to help the Jewish poor
have resulted in what he
called an effective program
to benefit the needy.
JFS is funded primar-
ily by the annual Allied
Jewish Campaign con-

Can the community do
anything to help the new
Jewish poor? "The commu-
nity can increase its dona-
tions to the Allied Jewish
Campaign so there's more
money available for local
services," Lerner said. He
added that "we're not being
self-serving" by making
such a request. "The prob-
lem (Jewish poverty) is
really into the whole com-
munity."
helped each of the char-
acters who survived.
The people who helped
were often Gentiles. In fact,
Jews were especially afraid
of other Jews because some
Jews were "catchers" for the
Nazis. The Church of Swe-
den is noted as having
helped to save many Jews
and other oppressed people
from the Nazis.

"The Last Jews in Berlin"
(Bantam), by Leonard
Gross, is a book based upon
interviews with Jews who
survived the Nazi era al-
though they were in Berlin
through the war years. In
1967, Eric Lasher con-
ducted the interviews which
were then redone in 1978 by
Leonard Gross.
The stories told in this
book read like a movie be-
cause the excitement and
drama of each goes beyond
drama usually found in real
life. There are six unrelated
but interwoven stories.
At times it is difficult to
follow the characters and
keep them straight because
the stories change from one
to the other and then back
again throughout the book.

In the case of the Or-
thodox who received food
and cash gifts from JFS,
Lerner said there was no in-
sistence that they "bare
their souls," become clients
for counseling. However, he
said that the agency is get-
ting more Orthodox clients
for counseling. They are
told that not only is the
agency available to help
them financially, but they
can "come for other prob-
lems as well," Lerner said.
