The Frankfurt Municipal Council made a donation today of 20,000 marks ($5,000) toward the cost of erection of a new building for the Leo Baeck School in Haifa. Dr. Baeck, a leader of Liberal Judaism in Germany, was interned during the last two years of World War II in Nazi concentration camps. He died later in London.
