Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Zionist Organization, today was presented the Henrietta Szold Centennial Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to Zionism. Mrs, Siegfried Kramarsky, national president of Hadassah, and Miss Barbara Ruskin, president of the Junior Hadassah National Council, made the presentation to Dr. Goldmann at special ceremonies in the offices of the Jewish Agency.
The award to Dr, Goldmann was originally made last December on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Henrietta Szold, founder of Hadassah, but was presented personally today since Dr. Goldmann was not in the United States last December. The Henrietta Szold Citation hails Dr. Goldmann as a “champion of Jewish dignity eloquent pleader for human rights, outstanding and brilliant servant of the cause of Zionism and of the Jewish people everywhere.”
