A message expressing hope for a Greek victory over Italy was cabled to Chief Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Koretz of Salonica today by British Chief Rabbi J.H. Hertz in response to a plea asking transmission to heads of the churches in Britain of a protest against the bombing of civilians in Salonica.
“British men and women, who are now enduring indiscriminate bombings for many months, fully sympathize with the victims of the latest exhibition of Fascist barbarism against your brave country and community,” Dr. Hertz’s message said. “May God speedily send victory to all the fighters for freedom.”
