The Association of Baltic Jews, in cooperation with the Associations of Hungarian, Czech and German Jews, sponsored a mass meeting here last night in memory of the 6, 000, 000 European Jews murdered by the Nazis.
Dr. S. J. Roth of the World Jewish Congress, said there were still victims of Nazism whose claims to compensation had not yet been net though their claims were just by any measure. He said “we must continue to fight for their case.”
Dr. Solomon Goldman, a Lithuanian, stressed that the loss of European Jewry was a loss not only of quantity but also of quality. He said world Jewry had lost a source of Jewish learning and piety which had nurtured western Jewries for generations.
