Julius Bomholt, Danish Minister of Education, and other representatives of Danish cultural and educational life were present at a ceremony here commemorating the 150th anniversary of the only Jewish day school in Denmark–the Caroline School here. Guests, among whom were Israel Charge d’ Affaires Harry Beilein and Professor Harald Isenstein, Jewish sculptor, gathered in a tent erected in the school grounds for the ceremony.
Otto Levysohw, president of the school’s board of directors, told the guests that the school worked for understanding between Jews and non-Jews in Denmark. Minister Bumbolt said that he was happy that a branch of the Jewish people had settled in Denmark and given that country so many prominent citizens. He presented the school with a check for 6,000 Danish crowns for the erection of a school library and kitchen.
