A proposal for a comprehensive study of the “political and psychological processes” from which emerged the Nazi crimes against the Jews was made here today by David Astor, editor of the Sunday Observer, at a meeting commemorating the 19th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising at St. Pancras Town Hall.
Lord Boothby and Sir Barnett Janner, chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, were among the many who paid tribute to the martyrs of the Warsaw Ghetto revolt. A display of paintings created by Jews in the Ghetto, which were recovered by Dr. A. Bernfes, was at the entrance to the Town Hall.
Bernard Gillis, a vice-president of the British section of the World Jewish Congress and of the Association of Jewish Ex-servicemen, appealed to the West German Federal Government to consider in its amending legislation once compensation to victims of Nazis, those who managed to leave Iron Curtain countries only after the final dates fixed for application for compensation under West German Federal law.
