Rehabilitation of the widows, orphans and other surviving relatives of racial victims of the Nazis will be one of the chief tasks of the Rumanian Red Cross henceforth, according to a resolution adopted today at the first postwar congress of the organization.
The group has been entirely reorganized and has elected a new central committee which includes for the first time representatives of Jews as well as of peasants and workers. In an address to the congress, Gen. Nicolas Parvulescu disclosed that members of the former central committee were now undergoing trial for refusing to assist Jewish victims of racial persecution. He cited the refusal of the former Red Cross organization in Rumania to assist survivors of the Jassy pogrom.
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.
