Moriz Rosenthal, the famous pianist who lived in Vienna until Hitler’s conquest of Austria, and at 76 is becoming an American citizen, and 350 New York students comprising the Inter-Scholastic German Glee Club joined last night in a concert at Carnegie Hall for the benefit of the United Jewish Appeal and the American Committee for Christian German refugees.
Dr. Ernst Wilhelm Meyer, former German diplomat in Washington and now executive secretary of the American Committee’s new Education Department, said in a post-intermission address that the concert was “a rebuttal to those who would like us to believe that help to refugees from Germany is a stirring up of animosity against the German nation.”
