A Rabbinical Court presided over by Chief Rabbi Isaac Herzog today dismissed slander charges by Georg Kareski, former Government-appointed head of the Jewish Culture League in Germany, against the Association of German Immigrants. The court upheld the truth of the allegation that Kareski sought the leadership of German Jewry with the assistance of the authorities and against the will of the German Jews.
The court also upheld the charges that Kareski had attempted to ruin the German Zionist movement by a public accusation of Marxism against it, that his paper had threatened the assassination of Dr. Siegfried Moses, then the head of the German Zionist Federation, and that he was responsible for the bankruptcy of Ivriah, the Zionist bank, which he headed.
