A proposal to establish an Association of Federations of Polish Jews will be considered at the joint convention and celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Federation of Polish Jews in America, which will be held at the Astor. Hotel beginning June 10, Benjamin Winter, president of the Federation of Polish Jews announced yesterday. The nucleus of such an association already exists, Mr. Winter stated, in the Polish-Jewish Federation of the United States, England, Argentine and Brazil.
The convention will take up a proposal to launch an educational campaign against the “false impressions” about East European Jewry. A volume has been prepared by Z. Tygel, executive director of the Federation of Polish Jews in America, giving a history of Polish Jews in all parts of the world which he hopes may contribute towards dissipating “false impressions” frequently current about Polish Jewry.
Among those who will address the convention are Rabbi Stephen S. Wise; Bernard Deutsch, president of the American Jewish Congress; Rev. Everett R. Clinchy, of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ, who recently visited Poland; M. Maldwin Fertig; Mrs. Rebekah Kohut and Louis Lipsky.
The gratitude of the Federation of Polish Jews to the Polish Government in protecting its citizens of Jewish faith residing in Germany was expressed by a delegation from the Federation which called to pay its respects to the Polish Ambassador in Washington, Stanislaw Patek. The delegation was composed of: Benjamin Winter, Jacob Brown, Dr. J. Tenenbaum, Z. Tygel, Benjamin Weinberg and Samuel Kalesky.
