Professor Albert Einstein, Oscar Wassermann and Dr. Leo Baeck and a number of other prominent German Jews, have accepted membership in a committee to organize a Jewish association for world peace.
Plans to organize this association were formulated today at a meeting held under the chairmanship of Oscar Wassermann. One hundred and fifty leading German Jews attended the meeting.
Prof Albert Einstein, who addressed the meeting, declared that the Jewish religion is the oldest institution advocating the spirit of peace and brotherly love.
Among those present at the meeting were Consul General Kahn, Dr. Alfred Klee, Gerson Simon, Heinrich Stern, president of the Association of Liberal Jews in Germany, Rabbi Hildesheimer, and Herr Wolff, president of the Federation of Prussian Kehillahs.
