CAMDEN JEWS PICK CAPTAINS FOR DRIVE
Committee to Raise $10,000 for Aid, Told of Hardships in Germany
At an executive meeting of the United Committee for Relief of German Jews, held at
Beth El Synagogue
last night, the captains who will be in charge of teams for the purpose of raising $10,000 for relief of
German Jews, were announced by Leon H. Rose, general chairman. In urging the appointees to
intensive efforts, Rose said:
"Six hundred thousand Jews are in distress. They are ousted from office, discharged from employment,
denied civil and economic rights, persecuted and systematically forced to starve to death.
"There is raging in Germany one of the coldest and cruelest pogroms against the Jews ever known to
history.
"We must help. We must rescue those helpless ones. Our weapon for immediate retaliation is money,
and we must supply those arms. By the widest stretch of the imagination, it is inconceivable how any
Jew in this community can exclude himself from this cause.
"Thousands of German Jews, especially among the young, see a prospect of restarting their lives in
Palestine to which some of them already have made their way. Determined, concerted Jewish effort can
make it capable of providing a permanent home for a considerable part of German Jewry to whom the
rest of the world, with few exceptions, is closed.
"Immediate funds are needed. I appeal to you as self-respecting Jews who understand the suffering of
your own race to come to the aid of your stricken brothers and sisters. Give them all you can."
