An “Altar for Freedom” monument, dedicated to the memory of “our beloved who died among the 6,000,000 of our Jewish brethren under Nazi barbarism” was unveiled at a service at the United Hebrew Brotherhood Cemetery here. The project was initiated by 100 survivors of the Nazi holocaust who are now living in the Minneapolis community.
A year ago, through the efforts of the group, with the aid of Minneapolis Jewry, a living memorial library fund was established at the Minneapolis Public Library, which announced this week that the first 50 books purchased through the $3,500 memorial fund had been placed on its shelves. The books depict the history of the Jewish people, including the Nazi period.
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.
