The Association of Jewish Refugees in Great Britain announced today the reaching of an agreement between the Association and the Jewish Restitution Successor Organization for the return to the JRSO of the Association’s Council for Jews from Germany. The Association expressed the hope that the JRSO executive would ratify the pact.
The comprehensive social and cultural program of the Council cannot be fulfilled without substantial allocation of funds from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, the Association said, adding that these programs are based entirely on the expectation of such funds.
“The allocation of sufficient funds from the Conference would enable the remnants of German Jewry to look properly after their aged ones and their brothers in distress,” the Association declared. “It would also render possible the establishment of those cultural institutions which will present to posterity the spiritual heritage of German Jewry in a manner worthy of its history.”
