The role of the Jewish woman in the struggle for survival of the Jewish people against the onslaughts of the Hitlerites, with particular reference to the part of Jewish womanhood in the intensification and extension of the boycott against German products and services, will be discussed at a meeting of Jewish women this afternoon at the Hotel Astor, it was announced by Mrs. Mark Harris, president of the Women’s Division of the American League for Defense of Jewish Rights. The principal address will be made by Samuel Untermyer, president of the League and leader of the world boycott movement.
“The meeting on Tuesday,” Mrs. Harris declared, “will be devoted to a careful consideration of all the phases of the struggle now waged by the Jewish people against an unparalleled attempt to annihilate them in Germany and to spread hatred and intolerance throughout the world.”
In addition to Mr. Untermyer, the meeting will be addressed by eminent speakers of both sexes, Jews and non-Jews. Admission to the meeting is free both to members of the Women’s Division of the League and to non-members.
