Holocaust-era plea for continued support for the war in Europe from both the US government as well as from the Yishuv and world Jewry in general. Reprinted from: Palestine and Middle East, October, 1942. The author, Leo Herrmann, was Secretary-General of Keren Hayesod (Palestine Foundation Fund) . He says, “The historical foundation of our demands, the moral basis which we must establish by our way of life in the country, the unparalleled needs of Jewry today, particularly suffering Continental Jewry-all these are absolutely fundamental elements in the call we must make for the world’s aid. This is the point that we reach by careful and systematic consideration of our position. We need self-help; we need the Keren Hayesod. Things cannot and will not remain as they are. We shall maintain our claim for inclusion in the great measures of aid for the whole world which have begun in the Lease and Lend policy, that first step towards the world of freedom and democracy in which alone the Jewish People and Eretz Israel have a future. ” SUBJECT(S) : World War, 1939-1945 -- Civilian relief -- Palestine.
