Title:
Handwritten appeal to Vilna Jews on behalf of the poor
Description:
Handwritten appeal to Vilna Jews on behalf of "the tens of thousands" of starving Jews. The writer of the appeal accuses the city's Jews, including its rabbis, of turning a blind eye to suffering, and calls upon Jews to gather in the shulhoyf (synagogue courtyard) on the Sabbath to address this issue.
