The European Cultural Foundation, based in Amsterdam, showed this week its will to participate in the development of Jerusalem, despite the resolutions recently taken by UNESCO. Its executive committee granted 50,000 guilders to the Jerusalem Foundation which aims to make of the holy city a cultural and spiritual center for mankind and a place where people of different religions and different cultures could live together. The European Cultural Center stated that instead of entering into vain polemics it prefers to show a concrete support. The European Cultural Foundation is chaired by Prince Consort Bernhardt of The Netherlands. Mayor Teddy Kollek is the head of the Jerusalem Foundation.
