The American Jewish Congress, at a meeting of its national administrative committee here today, adopted a resolution comdemning “the continued persecution of Rumanian Jewry as part of the Communists’ program to eliminate all remaining vestiges of spiritual autonomy of the Rumanian Jewish community.”
The resolution called upon President Eisenhower to “formally condemn” the mass arrests and sham trials of hundreds of Jewish leaders in Rumania. It also appealed to President Eisenhower to press for immediate ratification of the United Nations Genocide Convention, which outlaws the mass destruction of national, ethnic, racial or religious groups.
