Greek Jewish Community Will Become Self-reliant Within Few Years, J.D.C. Official Says

The emergence within a few years of a completely self-reliant Greek Jewish community was predicted today by Harold Goldfarb, Joint Distribution Committee director for Greece, who returned here from Greece last week.

Passage of a new restitution law on March 31, returning heirless Jewish property to the Jewish community, opens the way for Greek Jewry to become increasingly independent of foreign vuluntary aid, he added. Heirless Jewish property valued at $2,000,000 or more will be turned over to a foundation fund administered by nine representatives of the Greek Jewish community, ho disclosed. The funds will be used for the rehabilitation of 8,500 Jewish survivors in Greece.
