Active participation of the Hilfsverein der Dentschen Juden in the reconstruction work of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee in Russia was begun with the departure of Dr. M. Wischnitzer, general secretary of the Hilfsverein.
Dr. Wischnitzer will spend several weeks in Russia where he will study the cultural and social situation of the Jews. His trip is in connection with the plan of the Hilfsverein to take active part in the Russian colonization work.
