The first issue of a monthly “Jewish Bulletin,” sponsored by the British Ministry of Information with the aim of spreading Jewish views on the war, made its appearance here today. It is similar to Catholic and Protestant bulletins which the Ministry has published in the past.
Edited by H.A. Goodman, secretary of the World Agudah, the publication contains articles by Chief Rabbi Herts, Dr. Ignacy Schwartzbart, Dorothy Thompson, Col. Josiah Wedgwood, A.G, Brotman, secretary of the Board of Deputies of British Jews and Rev. W.W. Simpson, secretary of the Christian Council for Refugees.
One article in the Bulletin discloses that the Committee on the Church and the Nation has presented a report to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland which states that “the Gestapo, concentration camps and the Nuremberg decrees must be abolished,” as a minimum condition to any armistice. The report adds, “Conditions of the Jews in many countries demands larger efforts be made to solve their rights. Minorities and racial groups demand new attention. Their rights to cultural and religious freedom should be considered afresh.”
