A complaint by the Union of Jews for Resistance and Welfare that other Jewish groups were boycotting it revealed that the French Jewish community would not cooperate with Jewish Communists on any program.
The Union revealed that it had called for a joint celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sholem Aleichem, the noted Jewish writer, next year, but was told that other groups would not join it until the Union had made a public statement expressing disapproval of the Soviet Union’s liquidation of Jewish cultural institutions in the country.
