A delegation of Greek Jews, headed by Chief Rabbi Ben-Zion Usiel, yesterday appealed to the Government for admission into Palestine of Jews escaping from Greece.
Simultaneously the Association of Jewish Students disclosed that many Jewish students left Palestine some time ago for the Greek front ” to fight shoulder to shoulder with their Greek comrades against the common enemy.” They were a part of the British expeditionary forces in Greece.
