Tribute to William Rosenwald, one of the national chairmen of the $100,000,000 campaign of the United Jewish Appeal, was paid today at a luncheon at the Hotel Waldorf Astoria addressed by former Governor Herbert H. Lehman, Edward M.M. Warburg and Mrs. David M. Levy.
Mr. Lehman pointed out that Mr. Rosenwald has been devoting practically all of his time during the past six months toward gaining the support of American Jewry for the unprecedented drive to save the Jews who are still alive in Europe and to insure a home and a welcome for them in whatever havens of refuge might be open to them. Mr. Warburg outlined the program of relief, rehabilitation and resettlement which is being carried forward by the agencies of the United Jewish Appeal and pointed out that “the tasks which they must undertake this year are as urgent as any which have faced the Jewish people in all the centuries of their history.”
