Leaders of American Women’s Organizations Denounce Nazi Killing of Jews

Leaders of American Women’s organizations went on record last night denouncing the Nazi massacres of Jews in Europe.

Speaking over the Columbia Broadcasting System Mrs. Harold V. Milligan, president of the National Council of Women of the United States, said that there are no words in the dictionary which can define the Nazi crimes against Jews. Mrs. Herbert E. Hawkes, a member of the National Board of the YWCA, declared that Americans “can no longer remain silent” on the Nazi slaughter of Jews. “We know that silence will be construed as indifference to the fate of the millions of doomed Jews who remain marked for destruction,” she said. Mrs. Wales Latham, founder and honorary president of Bundles for America, spoke in the same vain, asking for action against “the revolting Nazi barbarism.”
