### Kuberski Poland’s Religious Affairs Minister and a member of the Communist Party central committee, will visit Israel next October. He announced this officially to participants of the Fourth European Congress for Hebrew and Hebrew Culture now underway at Warsaw University. Kuberski mode it clear that his visit will be within the framework of his role as minister heading the international committee which is now at work establishing a scientific institute to be named after Janusz Korczak, the famed Polish Jewish educator and doctor who perished in the Holocaust.
A delegation from Israel, headed by Prof. Aryeh Tartakower, which is participating in the Congress, asked Kuberski if he would meet with Israeli Religious Affairs Minister Aharon Abu-Hatzeira. He replied that his visit was not a political one but limited to the work of the Korczak institute planning committee and expressed the hope that his visit would be seen in that context.
He said the government of Poland intends to establish a Janusz Korczak township some 17 kilometers outside Warsaw that will be the site for educational and scientific institutions. Twelve thousand dunams has been earmarked by the Warsaw municipality for that project, Kuberski said.
