A committee representing all sections of Jewish life has been formed here to carry out a plan for the erection in Palestine of a “Tomb of the Unknown Jew” as a memorial to the 6,000,000 Jews murdered in Europe by the Nazis.
The tomb would be in the center of a specially planted forest. An eternal light will burn over the memorial. It is hoped to raise sufficient funds here and in other countries to plant 6,000,000 trees. Work on the project will start in two years.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
