More than 10,000 persons attended anniversary services here to commemorate the liberation of the Hungarian Jews from the ghetto.
In an address before the services, Chief Rabbi Simon Hevesi paid tribute to the Red Army and the Allied forces. Urging the leaders of the Government to suppress anti-Semitism, he warned that another Jewish outbreak might bring disaster to Hungary, and expressed the hope that lawful Jewish claims would be satisfied and reparations made. Premier Zoltan Tildy, the president of the Parliament, and other Government leaders attended the ceremony as well as Red Army generals and members of the American and British military missions.
