A petition on behalf of the Jews in Germany was today presented by the Union of Jewish Communities in Switzerland to Guiseppe Motta, head of the Swiss delegation to the League of Nations Assembly.
The petition states that “the new anti-Jewish laws in Germany threaten adversely the whole world, and call into question the achievement of culture and humanity.”
The Swiss Jews ask Motta to use all means to support efforts to restore the violated human rights and dignity of German Jews.
