The first assembly of the Jewish communities of Greece on the problems of the Jewish Rehabilitation Fund closed here last night following the election of nine new members to the board of administrators of the Fund, which uses the proceeds of heirless Jewish property to help rehabilitate Greek Jewry. The representatives of 18 communities participated in the parley.
A board of supervisors, representing the communities, was also elected. It will act as a liaison group between the Fund administrators and the communities. The parley adopted resolutions thanking the World Jewish Congress and the American Jewish Committee for their aid in having the Greek Government pass a Jewish property restitution law and establish the Rehabilitation Fund.
