Save us from starvation,” was the appeal of one hundred Jews of Nemiroff, all former small traders, directed to the Government.
The group ask that they be permitted to organize garden collectives and that land be given them in the vicinity of Nemiroff.
“Once we were traders. Now we have no hope of working because there are no shops around Nemiroff. We want to settle on the land, but must wait years,” the group declares in the appeal. “There is nothing left for us but to become beggars. We can be saved if given land to cultivate gardens,” they declare.
