The American slogan, “Help yourself,” is being adopted by greater numbers of Jews in Poland, according to a report of the local Jewish relief committee which was formed recently in order to cope with the emergency cases.
The committee reports successful activities. Every day new voluntary obligations are received by the committee from individuals who undertake to make weekly payments toward the relief fund. It is expected that practically every Jewish house in Warsaw will contribute a regular tax toward the fund.
the committee intends to issue a black list of those “gevirim” (wealthy persons) who decline to give aid.
