Germany remains one of the major political problems facing the world and Jewry, Dr. Noah Barou, chairman of the European executive of the World Jewish Congress and a member of the team which negotiated the German reparations pact, today told a WJC conference here. He added that the demands in Germany for the liberation of war criminals and the building of an army are a bad augury for German democracy.
Dr. Barou asserted that “reactionary elements throughout the world, many of whom are markedly anti-Semitic, are being encouraged by the atmosphere of the cold war and manifestations of anti-Semitism or anti-Jewish movements, often sponsored by Nazi refugees, are taking place in various countries.” He also pointed out that the Arab countries have intensified their war against Israel and the position of Jews in the Arab countries is very primaries.
