Assurance that the Jews in Poland will be given not only sympathy but also help from the United States was given here today by Mayor William O’Dwyer during a reception at City Hall for the Jewish delegation from Poland which has come to America to secure financial and moral support for the surviving Jews in Poland.
Dr. Emil Sommerstein, leader of the delegation, replying to the Mayor’s greetings, said that “those responsible for the murders of Jews in Poland today are the same terrorist bands which attack the present democratic government of Poland.” He charged that the anti-Semitic terrorists are receiving aid and guidance from Gen. Wladyslaw Anders, commander of the Polish Army which is now in the process of being dissolved by Britain, Dr. Sommerstein and his delegation was presented to the Mayor by Dr. Stephen S. Wise.
