The aged ones among our people have perished like beasts of the field from starvation, pestilence, expo Me eey. laaea Peace. Has come! But

 Jews of Birmingham Eight million of your people le-prostrate in the depths of despair, spiritual agony, physical degradation They ask you-their pros porous coreligionists, living in the land of material abundance, free from fear of massacre and pillage-to help them at this dread hour. Can you remain un- touched when they are searching the movement of your lips and the look in your eyes to discover whether you feel with them in their sorrow?
 We ask $l00,000 from the Jews of Ala bama. Will you stand back when your people need you?
