The annual Beth Sholom Brotherhood Award, bestowed each year here by Beth Sholom Synagogue, was presented tonight to the Danish nation and people “for their attitude of solidarity and practical sympathy with their Jewish fellow citizens under Nasi rule.”
Danish Ambassador John Knox came here from Ottawa to receive the award. In the past, the award had always been given only to individuals. Past recipients have included former Canadian Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker and Ontario’s ex-Premier Leslie Frost.
