8 1/2 x 5 7/8 in. folded handbill.

Rabbi Joachim Prinz (1902-1988) was an active civil rights leader and president of the American Jewish Congress (1958-1966). He represented the Jewish community at the March on Washington as an organizer. He was also a speaker at the event, giving his address immediately before Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. This handbill, illustrated with photographic images from the March, is addressed directly to the American Jewish population urging them to become active in the civil rights movement. He compares the experience of Jews through history and especially under Hitler's Nazi regime (Prinz himself fled Nazi Germany in 1937) to the African American experience. He urges his constituents: "For American Jews who are not content to remain silent on the great moral issue of equality, the American Jewish Congress offers an opportunity to stand up and speak out on what Rabbi Prinz has called 'the most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most tragic problem' of our day."
