Judge Louis E. Levinthal, advisor on Jewish affairs to the U.S. Army in Europe who addressed the opening session, said the “problems of the Jewish communities and ## DP’s are indivisible.” Declaring that although the future of the Jewish people depends chiefly on a Zionist solution, Judge Levinthal pointed out that there will be Jews living in countries outside of Palestine, and that a Jewish state will help then rebuild Jewish life.
Norbert Wollheim, representing the British zone, said the German people “must clean house of the Nazi elements which still exist.” Max Cahn, delegate for the American zone, paid tribute to the fortitude of the Exodus Jews and expressed the ##llingness of the Jews in the U.S. zone to cooperate with Jews from other zones in #tending aid to the Exodus refugees. Julius Meyer, delegate for the Jews in the soviet zone, pointed out that there are only about 1,200 Jews in the Russian area and ##ded that all of them were active in fighting for the rights of the Jewish people throughout the world.
