A “Palestine-Russia” exhibition to mark the second anniversary of Russia’s entry into the war will open in Tel Aviv on June 22, it was announced here today by the Victory League for Russia, which is sponsoring the exhibit. Among the material on display will be an hitherto unpublished exchange of letters between Sholem Aleichem and Leo Tolstoy and Maxim Gorky, and also a copy of the “Black Book” issued last year by Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, containing details of the Nazi persecution of Jews and other civilians in occupied sections of the Soviet Union.
An appeal to Jews in Palestine and throughout the world to unite for full support of the democracies “in the war for liberation” was issued here today by a conference of Hebrew writers meeting at Hulda “to clarify the tasks of the Hebrew writer in the present crisis.” The meeting also called on all writers and the spokesmen of the United Nations “to rescue the remnants of Israel.”
