The Board of Deputies of British Jews, leading Jewish organization in England, is now preparing detailed data on Nazi atrocities against Jews for the purpose of submitting it to the Inter-Allied Committee formed here last week to secure proper punishment of Nazi officials responsible for terror against the civilian population in occupied territories.
In announcing the preparation of such data, Prof. Selig Brodetsky, president of the Board of Deputies, today disclosed that the Board was assured that “the fate of the Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe will not remain unavenged.” This promise, Prof. Brodetsky said, was made by one of the members of the Inter-Allied Committee whose name he was not at liberty to disclose.
Referring to the fact that the communication on anti-Jewish atrocities sent by the Joint Foreign Committee of the Board of Deputies to the Inter-Allied Conference was not read at the opening session of the Conference, Prof. Brodetsky said that letters of acknowledgment have been received from some members of the Conference. The communication, he revealed, was addressed to all governments participating in the Conference as well as to the Polish Premier Gen. Sikorski in his capacity as president of the Conference.
