The entire welfare work conducted by the Jewish Community of Frankfurt is in danger of being completely stopped, because of the lack of funds, save an emergency appeal issued by the Representative Assembly of the Frankfurt Jewish Community.
The Jewish welfare work in this city is in a critical condition, the appeal continues, and if it has to be stopped, hundreds of Jewish families, men, women, and children, will be left destitute in the streets. Hundreds of needy children will be deprived of medical attention. Thousands of people will starve, and it is impossible to predict the terrible state to which Frankfurt Jewry will be reduced. Only immediate and generous help can avert this black outlook.
