| Summary: |
Advertisement for the United Jewish Appeal featuring a black-and-white photograph of an elderly man sitting next to an open trunk. He is surrounded by a variety of toys and dolls. The copy indicates that the man "was a thriving merchant in a small town in Eastern Europe" ten years earlier. He "has starved...shivered...been shot at...slept in cellars...lost his family...and has died a thousand deaths." It urges readers to donate to the United Jewish Appeal to aid Israel in preparing for more people like the pictured man and to help create a strong infrastructure. It concludes with the line "So GIVE! Give generously! Give all you can--and help finish the job." |
