United Jewish Appeal.
SERVICE
In the trial of war criminals at Nuremberg the fact
has been established that 5,700,000 Jews perished under the
murderous reign of Hitlerism. That crime will be answered in
justice.
There are left in Europe 1,500,000 Jews, men, women
and children, whom the ordeal has left homeless, hungry, sick,
and without assistance. These, too, are victims of the crime
for which retribution will be visited upon the guilty. But
neither the dictates of justice nor that love of our fellowman
which we are bidden to practice will be satisfied until the needs
of these sufferers are met.
