More than 2,000 delegates representing 60,000 pupils of Jewish schools in this city voted to “adopt” the newly re-opened Jewish schools in the devastated areas of Europe, at the Fourth Annual Children’s Community Assembly held today at Hunter College Auditorium, under the sponsorship of the Jewish Education Committee of New York. Under the plan, individual Jewish schools of this city will become the sponsors of specific schools as they are re-established in European areas.
A resolution adopted unanimously by the Assembly called upon the leaders of the United Nations to take immediate steps to guarantee to Jews full opportunities “to live wherever they wish without hindrance or discrimination; to insure the opening of the gates of Palestine; and to aid displaced Jews to reconstruct their lives.
