A delegation of Argentine Jews today visited the grave of Baron de Hirsch at Montmarte to pay their respects to the memery of the philanthropist whose bequests made possible the settlement of Jews on the land.
The delegation represents farmers who settled in Argentina with the aid of the Jewish Colonization Association. Present at the ceremony, besides the Argentine delegation, were representatives of the J.C.A. Administrative Council and the Alliance Israelite Universelle.
