As one of those who led the fight to establish the State of Israel I have always felt that the money raised by the UJA was the firm rock upon which this priceless refuge was founded. As a result. the displaced persons camps are now almost emptied. Countless Jews of Poland. Czechoslovakia. Rumania. Bulgaria. and Hungary have geen saved. the oppressed Jews of Yemen were flown in airlifts to safety. More than 15.000 refugee immigrants have become a part of the life of America and this enormous task has been achieved without strain on our social or economic fabric. More than 98 percent of those we have welcomed here are completely selfsupporting today. This is a thrilling tale of the saving of more than 2 million lives.
