The Buenos Aires Kehilla and the Federation of Argentine Jewish Communities today cabled the Joint Distribution Committee headquarters in New York expressing “deep sorrow” over the tragic death of Charles H. Jordan, JDC executive vice-chairman.
Noting that Mr. Jordan “was well-known in Argentina due to many activities with the Argentine Jewish community,” the cable added that “we regard this murder as a new sign of increasing hatred toward Israel and the Jewish people behind the Iron Curtain.” The cable was signed by Dr. Tobias Kamenszain, president of the Kehilla, and Hirsch Triwaks, general secretary of the Federation.
