The Nazi persecution of Jews in Europe was described here today by Professor Maximo Kahan addressing the three-day conference called by Mexican liberal organizations to condemn Nazi atrocities in occupied countries.
The conference was opened last night by the Mexican Minister of Interior, Sr. Miguel Aleman, who strongly condemned the Nazi terror against the civilian population. At the same time the Archbishop of Mexico, Monsignor Luis Martinez, issued a statement severely criticising the Nazi brutalities and declaring that the Catholic Church in Mexico will fully support the present anti-Nazi policy of the Mexican Government.
