Sum Is Contributed by Jewish Groups of Nation New York. (JTA) A total of $28,300,000 was raised by 252 federations, welfare funds and United Jewish Appeals during the Fall of 1940 and the Spring and Summer of 1941, according to information released here this week by the Council of Jewish Federation and Welfare Funds. An analysis of the contributions received by 44 of the 252 fundraising agencies, indicating the proportion of large and small gifts and the extent of participation in different-sized communities, has just been completed by the Council. The 44 federations and welfare funds, which raised $12,070,894, approximately 43 per cent of the total realized by all the reporting organizations, held their campaigns in cities having about 63 per cent of the estimated total Jewish population of the United States. The total raised in the 44 campaigns represents gifts from 230.393 contributors.

Contributors of $100 and over constituted only 9.3 per cent of the total number of contributors to the 44 campaigns; the total contributed by them, however, amounted to 79.8 per cent of the total raised.

Abou 000 Jews were deported to the Government-General area: shortly after the Nazis entered Strykow and about another 200 either died or were deported individually from the city, the article states.
