Deep concern over the situation in Germany was expressed by Leonard Montefiore, presiding at today’s meeting of the Anglo-Jewish Association. Mr. Montefiore said that a situation had arisen in which there was no longer any place in Germany for half a million loyal, German Jewish citizens who had fought and suffered for their country.
In the course of a discussion, Haham Dr. Gaster, Retired Chief Rabbi of the Spanish and Portuguese Congregation, suggested that a public protest meeting should be called with the object of drawing attention to the gravity of German conditions. In reply, Mr. Montefiore said that both he and Neville Laski, president of the Board of Deputies, would consider the suggestion, but that he hoped no such action would be necessary.
