The DAIA, Argentine Jewry’s central representative organization, called on the Argentine Government today to intervene with the United Nations to bring to an end Egyptian persecution of Jews.
The appeal charged that Nasser’s regime in Egypt had reduced the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to “scraps of paper.” It charged that Egyptian persecution parallels the “Hitler pattern.”
Meanwhile, the DAIA expressed support of the Argentine Government’s decision to accept 3,000 Hungarian refugees and orphans. It offered the experience of Jewish organizations which had been involved with immigration activities to any government program for the refugees.
