To help in raising the United States’ share of the world-wide fund to be spent in aiding children of the victims of Nazi oppression, the American Committee for the Relief of Victimized German Children has undertaken a monster bazaar to be held at the Pennsylvania Building, 225 West Thirty-fourth street, for a week beginning Saturday evening, June 9.

The entire second floor of the building has been made available and a variety of entertainment and exhibits, as well as a sale of contributed goods, has been planned. Among the features planned for the bazaar are: an evening of banned German music played by German refugee musicians, a display of banned German literature, with lectures by authors familiar with the situation; motion picture shots of the militarization of the youth of Germany today, of concentration camps, of refugees, of homes set up for the children of refugees and of the children themselves; a display of Nazi propaganda.

The committee in charge of the bazaar includes Bernard S. Deutsch, chairman, Lady Elsie Duveen, Christian Holmes, Mrs. Sam Lewisohn, Mrs. Julian Mack, Dr. Henry Moskowitz, Mrs. Nathan Straus Jr., Lady Mendl and Carrie Chapman Catt.

The committee has issued an appeal for volunteer workers in their office at 55 West Forty-second street. Young men and women who desire to aid are asked to see Mr. Berg, room 1334.
