Call to all German Jews!

In this fateful hour the Fatherland calls its sons to rally under its banner. Naturally, every German Jew is prepared to sacrifice his possessions and his blood.

FellowJews ! We appeal to you to dedicate your entire strengths to the Fatherland beyond the call of duty! Rally to the banners voluntarily! All of you – men and women – put yourselves at the disposal of the Fatherland by helping personally in all manner and by donating money and other goods!
