An urgent appeal for Passover relief for the ruined Jewish families in Warsaw was telegraphed by the Joint Distribution Committee representatives here to Dr. Bernard Kahn, European representative of the J. D. C., in Berlin.
The Warsaw J. D. C. authorities asked Dr. Kahn for a further allotment of funds to cope with the situation, in view of the growing unemployment and starvation in the country. Dr. Kahn in his reply declared that he is unable to transmit the money requested because of lack of funds.
Reports received from many towns throughout the Republic, mainly from the industrial centers, depict a heartrending situation of misery. In the district of Bialystok only 5 per cent of the Jewish population are making a living. The great majority has no prospects of being able to provide for the Passover.
