Tribute to the memory of Jewish war dead was paid by representatives of German sport societies on the occasion of the Turnfest held here this week.
Memorial services were held at the monument to the Jewish war dead on Roonstrasse. Wreaths were laid on the monument by the organization representatives.
Following the religious services Justicrat Dr. Bodenheimer delivered an address in which he expressed his hope that the German sporting societies, through their spirit of impartiality and sportsmanship will contribute toward bringing about a condition in which “class and race hatred will disappear and unity among all sections of the German people prevail.”
An appeal to gather further data about the Jewish soldiers who fell in the Germany army during the World War was issued by the Union of Jewish Soldiers who served at the front.
Data is needed particularly from the province of Posen and the district of Hamburg.
