A poster signed by students from the Land of Israel in which the children of Israel turn to the children of the nations of the world asking for urgent help to stop the mass murder of children carried out at the time by the Nazis on the land of occupied Europe: “We are the children of the Land of Israel living in our land a life of freedom and peace, listening anxiously to what is happening day by day and hour by hour to our brothers and sisters in the diaspora. Every morning, when we leave sated and bathed for our school and workshop, we are followed by the shadows of the thousands and thousands of children of our people who are being led to slaughter – for what and why? And in the stillness of the night on our bed, the cries and cries of the masses of murdered and butchered babies will reach us across the seas and lands – Until when? For what and why are little children slaughtered who have not sinned and done no evil?…”
Later, the children turn to the children of the nations of the world with a request: “Today we turn from afar to every boy and girl in every nation and country… You, the children of the nations fighting for a life of peace and freedom, stand a moment, listen! Children like you, thousands and thousands, are being led to execution, caravans and caravans … The children of Eretz Israel, whose fathers and mothers are fighting with your fathers and mothers on the common front, demand to remove them from the ghettos and camps the remains of the children of our people… Help us, give your hand to save our people. Do not hesitate!”
