A campaign to build a center in Tel Aviv in memory of the late Vladimir Jabotinsky, founder of the Zionist Revisionist movement, was launched here last night at a banquet sponsored by the South African Revisionists.
Edel Horowitz, chairman of the Zionist Federation, brought federation greetings and expressed confidence that all sections of South African Jewry would support the memorial campaign.
Raymond Schmittlein, a leading French statesman and friend of Israel, said that it would be paying a long-standing debt to Jabotinsky’s memory to build a living memorial to him in the Jewish State. He was supported by Haim Landau and Eliezer Shostak of Israel.
