I have been connected with ORT for over 25 years, and I am personally familiar with the splendid work this organization has done in many of the countries of Europe. ORT has been a very effective agency in the rehabilitation of hundreds of thousands of destitute people the world over. I know that it has trained youths and adults to become skilled industrial and agricultural workers, and has thus given them an opportunity to be self-sustaining.”
