This figure made it the largest turnout of its kind in the nation's history. The demonstration was preceded by a 40-hour march against death in which 45,000 people walked single file from the Arlington Bridge past the White House to the capital. Each carried the name of an American GI killed in Vietnam or a Vietnamese village destroyed. At the White House, the demonstrators called out the names which they carried. The night portion of the dramatized by a candle light procession. Upon completion of the march against death, there was a mass march up Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House to the monument grounds leading the bearers with caskets containing the names now. Don't you wish love only love could save this world from disaster? Love, love, only love could save this world from disaster. Don't you wish love could end the confusion? Or is it just one more illusion? Oh shant. If we want to have great love, we got to have great anger. If we want to have great love, we got to have great anger. When I see innocent folk shot down, you want me just shake my head and frown. Oh, terrorist shanti salami. We came to the march because my wife and I are very concerned about the war in Vietnam. We have a boy over there and we had another boy come home. We're not only concerned about them, but we're concerned about the future of our country. If we want to hit the target square, better not have blind anger. If we want to hit the target square, better not have blind anger. Or else it'll just be one more time. The correction creates another crime. My oldest son, Mike Ransom, was killed in Vietnam on May 11th last year. In the last letter he ever wrote, he pleaded, "Tell any friends you have in Washington to quit quibbling and start talking about ways to end this foolishness here." In another letter, he asked a friend to attend every anti-war meeting for him. And so I stand before this congregation to bear witness to my son that we, his family and his friends have come again to Washington as he asked us to and that we will try once more to give meaning to his death by our efforts to bring peace and hope to this troubled nation. My name is Donna Barnett. I have come from Fayetteville, Arkansas. My husband, Rey, is stationed in Vietnam. I want to believe that Rey is serving the best interests of America, that it is necessary for him to be in Vietnam. But that is a lie. Rey was taken from me to fight a war that is neither necessary nor just. A war that we stumbled into and now it seems cannot find the honesty or strength to walk away from. I want my husband back from Vietnam as all women want their husbands back from Vietnam. Now, when you come to the proper place, turn towards the door of the White House, stop and really shout the name and the state as loudly as you can. Forget the press microphones because Mr. Nixon has just returned from Florida and we want him to hear. So, shout right for the door minutes ago by helicopter. Please, as you pass the marshal holding the peace sign in the center of the White House, please turn and shout out the name on your placker. Ernie Jacobs, South Carolina, William Fanwick, Colorado.

I I this is probably the most religious experience uh that I have had. I've never seen people such united with such uh such feeling and and I'm proud to be here. Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing. Where have all the flowers gone? Long time ago. Where have all the flowers gone? Girls have picked them everyone. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn? Where all the young I see where all the young No longer. When will they ever? will lay. Where have all the young My name in the Lord. When will we ever will How long will we depend on a foreign aid program that is so largely military aid? How long How long will we continue to spend billions for war or its preparations and be unwilling to spend comparable sums to rebuild the cities and eliminate the slums of the whole world? How long will the white northern nations take advantage of dark southern nations in an unequal economic battle? I remind you that these are not political questions I'm asking. They are moral questions. All we We are shall we shall overcome. We shall overcome. I do. We shall overcome. We shall all be free. We shall all be free. We shall all be free. We shall be free.

Wal l a ce: Having s ignified your concern with the plight of the Jewish people by s i gning t he Proclamation on the Moral Rights of the Stateless and Pal estinian Jews , we advise you of t he very real danger of the Nazi s avenging t heir own approaching doom, by accelerating the speed of the a nnihilation of the def enseless Jews of Europe. Go ebbels l aunched a new campaign, unprecedented i n its vehemence, proclaiming the annihila tion of the Jews as t he Nazi ' s supreme goal. The continued and unchecked mass ext erminat ion of the J ewish people of Europe i s but a prelude and a rehearsal of the mass slaught er of ot her Eur opean peoples, a s and when the Nazis "slam the door " before quitti ng the scene of hi st ory , as per Goebbels threa t . Unl es s the blood orgies sto p and are pr evented from being extended to other peoples of Europe , the liberating armi es of the United Nat ions will f ind the Continent a cemetery. The fi rst and ma in concrete demands of publ ic opini on , we believe, should therefore bet 1) The creation of a United Nations agency composed of military a nd diplomatic experts, cl othed with full authorit y to define and effectuate a r ealistic plan of action to save the r emaining millions of t he Hebrew people in Europe. 2) To grant to the Hebrew people of Europe the right to nationhood, Palestinian citizenship and access to Palestine - the practical haven, whi ch can be r eached through Turkey by train or bus, (obviating the necessity of ships) , and where t he new Hebrew nat i on awaits them with open arms . 3) The creation of a Jewish Army of Stateless and Palestinian Jews t o participat e in the European i nvasion and to awaken t he Nazis and their satellites to the realization of the Jewish retaliation, thus helping ROBERT R .

ThiJ army, composed primarily of Palestinian Jews and refugees aJ well as volunteMs from neutral countries, will fight on an,y battlefield which it wuy be il!signed, sid, by side with the armies of the United States, GreaJ BriltlHI anJ othM Allied nations . . . . , . 10 �to check the slaughter. This army will serve a great rehabilitation of the dignity and honor of the ancient Hebrew people of Elurope, in the most fateful hour of their history. But even before such a plan of action is approved and a United Nations Agency created, there is an immediate possibility for sa ving untold thousands from among the tortured Jews of Europe. One word from Mr. Churchill will suffice -- the gates of Palestine will be opened. The smaller pa rtners of the Axis, Bulgaria, Hungary and Ruma nia are willing, even no w, to let their Jews go. But, now, whither shall they go? Palestine is t he nearest possible and most practical haven. When its gates will be opened the Jews will save themselves without asking for any outside organized help. We therefore apeal to you as a moulder of American public opinion, to aid us in our campaign to save the remaining J ews before the hour grows too late. A wire to the British Prime Minister signed by you will have great weight in this historic moment, when the fate not only of t he forgotten people - the Jews - but of all Europe is hanging in the balance. I would apreciate receiving a copy of any wire you may send. f \ S.

Title A name given to the resource The Holocaust and the Ohio Valley, 1920, 1933-1990s Description An account of the resource This collection consists of documents and photographs related to Jewish experiences in the Holocaust and World War II, Jewish American efforts to support refugees, and historical memory of the Holocaust in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. This digitization project is in partnership with the Louisville Ballet's <a href="https://www.louisvilleballet.org/a-time-remembered/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Time Remembered</a> performance, which marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. <div> Holocaust-era family documents center on the Wolff, Levy, and Ackermann families who escaped to the United States from France and Austria, and ultimately settled in Louisville. Passports provide photographs of the family members and track their movements through countries. Letters document their efforts to navigate the administrative barriers to passage, and the tragic fate of relatives who were not approved to leave. Records from the National Council of Jewish Women, Louisville Section document the organization's activist work in fundraising for and directly serving refugees in the city, and political organizing around national immigration policies and economic boycotts of German-made goods. The collection includes sample correspondence from national organizations and individuals who supported and were against Zionism in response to the violent antisemitism of the Holocaust. The final items in the collection document Holocaust memorial events in the 1990s. Invitations, photographs, scripts, press releases, and articles represent the memorialization work of the Jewish Community Center, Jewish Community Federation of Louisville, Louisville Ballet, Louisville Orchestra, and other organizations.</div> This project was generously supported by the Jewish Heritage Fund. <a href="https://jewishheritagefund.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img src="https://jewishheritagefund.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/jhfe-logo-leftaligned-color@2x.png" alt="jhfe-logo-leftaligned-color@2x.png" width="306" height="58" /></a> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1920, 1933-1990s Type The nature or genre of the resource Collection Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant 20th century Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

The letter is signed by S. Merlin, Director of Information. Following the Louisville Times's recent signing of "the Proclamation on the Moral Rights of the Stateless and Palestinian Jews," Merlin responds with a discussion of what the Committee believes must be done to support and save Jews in Europe. He outlines three essential actions: "The creation of a United Nations agency" dedicated to planning how to save "millions of Hebrew people in Europe" "grant the Hebrew people of Europe the right to nationhood, Palestinian citizenship and access to Palestine" and "The creation of a Jewish Army of Stateless and Palestinian Jews" that will fight in Europe. Merlin concludes by asking Wallace to send a letter to Winston Churchill in support of these efforts. He believes that "One word from Mr. Churchill will suffice--the gates of Palestine will be opened" and "the Jews will save themselves without asking for any outside organized help." The letterhead includes a list of names and positions for members of the National Commitee and states the organization's aim to create a Jewish Army to fight alongside the Allied nations.

REPUBLICAN PLANK ON PALESTINE-ADOPTED JUNE 27 AT CHICAGO We favor the opening of Palestine to unrestricted Jewish immigration and colonization, and such a policy as to result in the establishment there of a free and democratic Jewish Commonwealth. DEMOCRATIC PLANK ON PALESTINE-ADOPTED JULY 20 AT CHICAGO �We, the undersigned Americans, men and women in public life who are deeply interested in international problems and in securing a just and lasting peace, find it necessary to address publicly our Government, and through it the governments represented at the San Francisco conference, with the following declaration: Bled and tortured humanity looks hopefully to the San Francisco conference to establish a system of international relations which will end sh·ifes among peop~e~ and wars among nations. It is expected that this time diplomats and statesmen will act with courage and determination to eliminate the causes of conflicts and to do away with evils of war that befall humanity periodically. We submit that among the problems which must not be overlooked or sidetracked is the age-old universal Jewish ques_tion. This war was brought about becaus_e peoples and statesmen refused to view realistically the factors which disturbed the peaceful development of mankind and forced it into war and desh·uction. Among these factors the Jewish problem played a major role. The home-· lessness of the Jewish people, the basic abnormality of their situation and the deep-rooted anti-Semitism have definitely served as tinder to ignite Hames of umest, hatred and dissension which led to the madness of aggression and war. There can be no doubt that unless the Jewish problem is solved, it will continue to constitute a permanent obstacle to the effectiveness of any postwar settlement and to the peace of the world. Now, when an inspiring effort is being made for ·a lasting peace, the Jewish question must b~ boldly faced and adequately solved, or this effort may be doomed to failure. At San Remo and in the League of Nations, a just and constructive solution for the Jewish problem-the restoration of the Promised Land to the Jewish people and its n~tionhood-was incorporated into international law. However, the tendency which was developed after the last war to disregard the sanctity of treaties and international obligations have made a travesty of this law and have hampered the implementation of this solution. It is therefore imperative that when we set out to mend the fences of international morality �and to lay new and stronger foundations for justice and peace that we make certain that the grave wrong done to the Jewish people be righted; that Palestine shall be restored to them and their nationhood recognized. The Jewish people have made unparalleled sacrifices on the altar of war and the victory over the enemies of humanity. No people has suffered so much by impoverishment, torture, and death as have the Jews. No people has fought more valiantly and selflessly for the cause of freedom as have the Jewish people. Nevertheless, while some peoples who shed neither blood, nor sweat, nor tears, and who reaped only benefits from tl1is gigantic struggle are now invited as full fledged partners to set up the future organization of the world, the Jewish people has been conveniently forgotten and ignored. No Jewish delegation has been invited to the United Nations' conference at San Francisco. We consider this a gross injustice and an error on the part of the leaders of the United Nations which presage little good for the entire undertaking of a just and lasting peace. There can be no justice in the world if the great Jewish people, the first to raise the banner of eternal peace and of morality among men and nations, is barred from a conference where these aims are declared to be its·prime objectives. We direct, therefore, our plea to the people and the Government of the United States of America that they raise their voice in behalf of justice for the Jewish people. Let our Government take the necessary steps that Palestine in its historic boundaries shall be proclaimed as a Jewish State, and let a delegation of Palestine Jewry-the natural representatives of all the Jews of the world who are in need of a home-be invited to participate with the representatives of all the United Nations to secure a real, just and lasting peace for humanity.

Title A name given to the resource The Holocaust and the Ohio Valley, 1920, 1933-1990s Description An account of the resource This collection consists of documents and photographs related to Jewish experiences in the Holocaust and World War II, Jewish American efforts to support refugees, and historical memory of the Holocaust in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. This digitization project is in partnership with the Louisville Ballet's <a href="https://www.louisvilleballet.org/a-time-remembered/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Time Remembered</a> performance, which marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. <div> Holocaust-era family documents center on the Wolff, Levy, and Ackermann families who escaped to the United States from France and Austria, and ultimately settled in Louisville. Passports provide photographs of the family members and track their movements through countries. Letters document their efforts to navigate the administrative barriers to passage, and the tragic fate of relatives who were not approved to leave. Records from the National Council of Jewish Women, Louisville Section document the organization's activist work in fundraising for and directly serving refugees in the city, and political organizing around national immigration policies and economic boycotts of German-made goods. The collection includes sample correspondence from national organizations and individuals who supported and were against Zionism in response to the violent antisemitism of the Holocaust. The final items in the collection document Holocaust memorial events in the 1990s. Invitations, photographs, scripts, press releases, and articles represent the memorialization work of the Jewish Community Center, Jewish Community Federation of Louisville, Louisville Ballet, Louisville Orchestra, and other organizations.</div> This project was generously supported by the Jewish Heritage Fund. <a href="https://jewishheritagefund.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img src="https://jewishheritagefund.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/jhfe-logo-leftaligned-color@2x.png" alt="jhfe-logo-leftaligned-color@2x.png" width="306" height="58" /></a> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1920, 1933-1990s Type The nature or genre of the resource Collection Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant 20th century Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Morris J. Mendelsohn to Louisville Times editor Tom Wallace. Mendelsohn expresses his support for "a Jewish Palestine" "as the only common-sense answer to the unequalled tragedy of the Jewish people." He describes the American government and civilian support for a Jewish Palestine and asks Wallace to read and sign the Declaration he enclosed with the letter. The following three pages are a copy of the Declaration, which is directed to the United States government and calls for Palestine to "be proclaimed as a Jewish State." Throughout, the Declaration connects an end to antisemitism with a rise in "lasting peace" across the globe. It also points out that Jewish delegations have been absent from United Nations conferences and seeks greater Jewish inclusion in international affairs. The signature line is blank. The last page of this document is a letter dated May 8, 1945, from Tom Wallace's secretary to Mendelsohn indicating that his letter has been received and will be given to Wallace when he returns to the office.
