The appointment of Rabbi Simon G. Kramer, of New York, as liaison officer between the American Military Government and the religious Jewish community in Germany was announced here today by the Rabbinical Council of America. He was selected for the post by the Synagogue Council of America at the request of the U.S. Government.
Rabbi Kramer will leave for Germany on April 4. “The continuous policy of re-educating the German population in the ways of democracy and of laying the spiritual foundation upon which to build a new and free society is the clearest indication of the U.S. Government’s policy of building for peace,” he said today. Rabbi Kramer is vice-president of the Synagogue Council of America and a member of the Committee on Army-Navy Religious Activities of the Jewish Welfare Board.
