An emergency meeting of the national board of Hadassah today adopted a resolution which likened the current Soviet anti-Semitic drive to the beginning of the Nazi campaign 20 years ago, and emphasized that “complacency, the ally of all foes of freedom and democracy, will never again lull the free world into inaction and indifference.”
The Hadassah statement, made public by Mrs. Samuel J. Rosensohn, national president, voiced the prayer that the Soviet-dominated governments “would recover their reason before it is too late” but warned its membership “to be prepared, staunchly and with dedication, to preserve fundamental principles of equality, justice and democracy which we hold so dear.”
