A memorial service was held at the Choral Synagogue today to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1941 pogrom in which 120 Jews were killed by Fascist hooligans in this capital city. Following the intonation of the Hakarah, Chief Rabbi Dr. Moses Rosen delivered a sermon in which he said “We Jews struggle with the rest of mankind for a world order in which such dreadful events as the pogrom here 30 years ago are no longer thinkable. We Jews are also full of thankfulness that the Jewish people is restored to the Land of the Bible and is master of its fate.” Following the recitation of the Kaddish, the congregation made a pilgrimage to the cemetery where the martyrs are buried.
