A deputation representing the Council of Jewish Associations of Belgium, headed by Prof. Nue Gunzburg, today presented a bronze medallion to Cardinal Van Roey, Archbishop of Malines, as a token of the gratitude of Belgian Jewry for help given it by the Catholics during the Nazi occupation.

The delegation drew the attention of the Cardinal to the question of Jewish children still in Belgian convents and with Catholic families in this country. The Cardinal promised to give that situation his careful attention. Referring to Palestine the Cardinal said that it was impossible in his view to prevent the realization of a Jewish state.
