The Federation of Jewish Ex-Soldiers here has published a statement that it will aid persons who are barred from Aryan organizations because they are not considered pure Aryans, and who are barred from Jewish veteran groups because they are not Jews.
The Federation looks upon itself as a body representing the interests of all Jewish front soldiers.
“Every soldier who was at the front, whether he is a member of ours or not, whether he agrees with our policies or not, will find us always ready to defend his interests so far as it lies within our power,” said a Federation statement.
“We give this assurance also to those comrades from whom we are now frequently receiving inquiries because they have been excluded as non-Jewish non-Aryans from their old ex-servicemen’s association, and cannot join us since we are a Jewish organization.
“The federation of Jewish ex-Soldiers has from the day of its formation considered it its duty and honor to give comradely assistance to every front soldier.”
