Three Democratic aspirants for the Presidential nomination–U.S. Senators John F. Kennedy, Hubert H. Humphrey and Stuart Symington–today sent messages lauding the heroism of the Jews who staged the uprising against the Nazis in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943.
The messages were sent to the Congress of Jewish Culture, which will conduct commemorative services honoring the Warsaw Ghetto martyrs at a meeting to be held at the Biltmore Hotel tomorrow night. Other messages addressed to the meeting have been sent by former Sen. Herbert H. Lehman and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
Yesterday, another meeting, attended by 3,200 persons, commemorated the Warsaw Ghetto revolt. One of the principal speakers at this meeting was Romuald Spasowski, Polish Ambassador to the United States.
