A group of 20 members of The Generation After and Holocaust survivors staged a protest against the policy of apartheid by the government of South Africa at the South African Consulate here last Friday. John Ranz, chairman of the Holocaust Survivors Association, was arrested when he tried to submit a protest memorandum issued by his organization to South African officials.
Dr. Harry Faivus, president of The Generation After, declared at the protest rally that “the basic principles of higher and lower races are the same for South Africa as they were for Nazi Germany. It is an insult to humanity that 40 years after the defeat of Nazi Germany these vestiges of Nazi racism are still in evidence.”
