The Crimes of Adolf Hitler
Here are three children, Jane, Jacqueline and John. They are blind.
It would be difficult for Hiller to find weaker or more helpless opponents-yet he is trying to destroy them.
At the actual moment this picture was taken, at the Sunshine Home for Blind Bables at East Grinstead, an air rald warning was sounded,
There is a touching story behind this picture.
When there is an air raid the Matron rings a bell. The kiddies are still ignorant of the meaning of a siren, but when they hear that bell, they prepare for a treat.
Wisely, the Matron has made the air- raid shelter a party--to which children who have been good are invited.
Sometimes they have meals there-and as a special treat they may even sleep there- during night raids.
When the bell sounds, six-year-old Jane hurries to find her especial friends to take them to the party.
Those three little blind children go to their shelter, gulded by a rope, ignorant of the fact that a mad beast is seeking their lives,
Jane, Jacqueline and John, weak and helpless, are yet terrible accusers against the monstrous crimes of Hitler,
