The formation of a “Committee of Jews from Czechoslovakia for Material Claims Against Germany” to protect the interests of Czech Jewish refugees in relation to the German reparations pact was announced here today by Dr. Stephan Barber, acting chairman of the group. The committee, set up at the initiative of the Relief Committee of Jews from Czechoslovakia in Great Britain, has as its aim:
“To watch over and represent the interests of Jews of Czechoslovakian origin in respect to the implementation of the Luxemburg Protocols (embodying the settlement of claims of world Jewry within the terms of the Israel reparations pact). German legislation about individual indemnification of the victims of Nazi persecution, the use of funds to be made available for the relief and resettlement of needy victims and for certain cultural projects, are some of the principal matters on which the Committee has been concentrating its attention.”
