The Central Union of German Citizens of Jewish Faith has issued a call signed by its President, Dr. Julius Brodnitz, appealing to all German Jews to contribute to its 1932 Fighting Fund.
On March 13th. President Hindenburg and the 18 million who voted for him, won a victory, the appeal says. But we have weeks of arduous work for the new elections before us. The activities of the enemies of the Constitution and of equal rights for Jewish citizens, call for redoubled efforts for the coming second ballot in the election of the President of the Republic. The elections to the State Parliaments of Prussia, Bavaria and other States also impose upon us tremendous obligations. We must continue to fight untiringly. We must throw up a wide and strong dam against the anti-Jewish hatred, which is flaring up everywhere more strongly than ever before, and in that way prepare the road for our participation in the maintenance of the internal peace of the German Fatherland. Work, directed as ours is against hatred and incitement, against injustice and wrong, has never remained permanently ineffective. The fruit must ripen, if not, now then on a better day to come.
German Jews, we are fighting your fight. It is your work that we are doing. We demand your sacrifices. We expect your help. Wherever you live, whatever you are, we are your battle-front. You belong in our ranks. No one may keep back from contributing his share to our 1932 Fighting Fund.
