"We are not denying and are not afraid to confess. This war is our war
and that it is waged for the liberation of Jewry... Stronger than all
fronts together is our front, that of Jewry. We are not only giving
this war our financial support on which the entire war production is
based, we are not only providing our full propaganda power which is
the moral energy that keeps this war going. The guarantee of victory
is predominantly based on weakening the enemy, forces, on destroying
them in their own country, within the resistance. And we are the
Trojan Horses in the enemy's fortress. Thousands of Jews living in
Europe constitute the principal factor in the destruction of our
enemy. There, our front is a fact and the most valuable aid for victory."
Chaim Weizmann, President of the World Jewish Congress, in a speech on
December 3, 1942, New York City.
