Jewish Congress Urges Senate Investigation of Nazi Resurgence in Western Germany

A Senate investigation of the resurgence of Nazism in Western Germany along the lines of the present one on the struggle in Korea, was urged by Rabbi Irving Miller, president of the American Jewish Congress, as a result of the record vote rolled up by the Socialist Reich Party, an undisguised Nazi group, in the recent elections for parliament in Lower Saxony.

At the same time, he wrote to Secretary of State Dean Acheson urging a thorough re-evaluation and revision of policies in and toward Germany and for the consideration of measures “which will more effectively strengthen democratic forces in that country and halt the rise to power and influence of those groups which have twice brought war and destruction upon all mankind.”
