PRESIDENT: The executive board of the Bronx Division. American Jewish Congress. respectfully urges you. as President of the United States. and as a person who is looked to by the entire world for guidance in its fervent quest for peace and the fulfillment of human dignity. to do all in your power to influence the Egyptian Government to cease its persecutions of the Jews in Egypt. The Egyptian Governments harrassments. imprisonments. and deportations of its Jewish citizens has been so intensified as to touch the conscience of all men of good will. The cast of this Egyptian program is so strikingly similar to that of the Hitler oppressions and the pattern of persecutions practiced in the Communist orbit as to increase our fears for the lives of those involved. To date more than 8.000 members of the Jewish community have been forced to leave Egypt after being hard pressed. imprisoned. and deprived of even elementary means of making a living.
