Singing Hatikvah and the Cuban national hymn, the demonstration stopped in front of the Presidential Palace and was greeted by President Dr. Ramon Grau San Martin, The marchers then proceeded to the building of the Senate where a delegation was received by Senate President Dr. Suarez Rivas to whom a memorandum was submitted. Later a copy of the same memorandum was submitted to Dr. Miguel De Leon, president of the Congress.
Participating were Jewish organizations of all political shades, including Zionist, orthodox and Communist. The demonstration was arranged by the World Jewish Congress.
