Formal dedication ceremonies were held here today for the New Americans Memorial Plaque to the 6, 000, 000 Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis which will be placed in the reception room of the HIAS offices in the Associated Jewish Charities and Welfare Fund Building here. The plaque was purchased with funds contributed by more than 140 refugees of the Nazi holocaust who came to this country after the Second World War. It contains an electric memorial light which will remain lit at all times.
