The Jews of Germany do not harbor hatred, not even against those at whose hands they suffered in the past, Rabbi M. Freier of Berlin today told a German Protestant conference here.
Dr. Freier said that the Jews wish to thank those Christians who risked their lives in Hitler Germany to help the persecuted Jews. He added that thanks is also due to those Germans who today seek reconciliation between the Germans and the Jews.
In Hamburg, Erich Lueth, originator of the “peace with Israel” movement, reported that contributions have been received by his movement for the purchase of the first 2,000 olive trees to be planted in a “Wood of Reconciliation” in the Jewish State.
