The progress made in rebuilding Jewish life in Western Europe during the decade following World War II and Hitler’s attempt to annihilate Jewry will be marked by a special consultative conference of Jewish organizations in London, June 12-16, it was announced today by Irving M. Engel, president of the American Jewish Committee.
Sponsors of the conference–which will give the Jewish communities of Europe and North Africa the opportunity to examine their present problems together and to plan for the future–are the American Jewish Committee, the Alliance Israelite Universelle of France and the Anglo-Jewish Association of Great Britain. Invitations to the conference have been sent to Jewish organizations in 27 communities of Western Europe and North Africa, Mr. Engel said. A similar conference was held in London in March, 1946.
