From the founding of our country until the present day. the Jew has helped build up this Nation. and has along with Americans of other races and religions performed his patriotic duties in time of war. He will continue to do so. The first settlement of Jews was established in New York (then New Amsterdam) in 1654. when 23 Jewish refugees arrived on the sail ship Catarina from Brazil. Today there are approximately four and a half millions. The emigrants came from everywhere. refugees from Spanish and Portuguese inquisitions. German and Austrian refugees from the despotism of central Europe. and Polish. Russian. and Rumanian refugees from the barbarous bigotry of eastern European tyrants. These American Jews. whether born abroad or descendants of the refugees on the Catarina. know more than any other group in America the blessing of liberty and the horrors of dictatorship and persecution. There have been other Hitlers in their history. They were called Pharaoh and Antiochus.
