Dear Mr. Rosenberg
This is an appeal that should touch us all. Those of us who came from Eastern Europe should be thankful that they found refuge here where they have a free outlet for their capacity and industry. Those who, like myself, had their origins in Germany or in countries of Western Europe, should consider that in the many wanderings of Israel through the centuries, their forefathers were fortunately led away from rather than toward Poland and Russia, and may well say that “but for the grace of God” they might now be the beneficaries of the American Jewish Relief.
In either event, the response to your appeal, alike on the score of gratitude and that of humanity, should be prompt and ample.
Very truly yours,
Cyrus L. Sulzberger.
