Beneath the black tragedy of the peoples in Europe, there is a story unparalleled in history. It is the story of millions of who struggle bravely and relentlessly to go on living in the face of all attempts to annihilate them completely. Whether it be behind the ghetto walls of or inside the refugee camps of France or in countries where other forms of human degradation prevail—the Jews of Europe continue the fight to live. It is in this field that ORT—Organization for Rehabilitation through Training—plays an important role. ORT's program is a simple one. ORT teaches skilled trades and farming to the untrained and the declassed—even while war goes on. Ever adaptable because of its long experience, ORT is intensifying its activities to meet the new conditions resulting from the spread of war. ORT's program was designed to help the Jews, refugees and war victims, support themselves through training in skilled trades and agri- culture. Today when the world's democracies axe fighting their greatest battle, ORT's work has additional value. For by training people urgently needed —in England, Canada and Australia—for producing war and defense material ORT makes a direct contribution to the victory effort. Through this training ORT enables them to survive by their own efforts and to be ready for post-war reconstruction work. This gives them a sense of usefulness and self-reliance which serves as an antidote for despair. Through its trade schools, workshops, farming projects and credit bureaus, working even behind ghetto walls, and inside refugee camps, ORT helps make that struggle successful by meeting every-day emergency needs—giving a trade to many thousands of refugees and war victims and making them self-supporting. Throughout the world—in the , Europe, Palestine, Asia, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, South America and South Africa—there are today more than 500,000 Jews who have been trained by ORT since 1880 to depend not on the charity of their community but on their own two hands for their daily bread.

What Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt says about ORT: "I am interested in ORT because I think that helping people to gain skills, giving them an opportunity to become independent, to start again in new ways of endeavor is far more constructive than just tiding them over temporarily by keeping them as they are but help- ing them to live. In the work that ORT has been doing it has been really making it possible for people to take a new hold en life in a new way." American ORT Federation - Labor & Peoples ORT 212 FIFTH AVE..
