U.S. JEWISH GROUPS PROTEST MASS ARRESTS OF JEWS IN RUMANIA
The American Jewish Congress today issued a call to American Jewry to protest vigorously against the mass arrests of Jewish leaders in Rumania. Simultaneously, it announced that a huge protest meeting will be held in New York on June 9.
The Jewish Labor Committee today adopted a resolution condemning the mass trials of Jews in Rumania and demanding the release of the convicted Jewish leaders there. “We consider the present trials of the Jewish leaders in Rumania as an expression of the special stand toward the Jewish people taken by the Communist governments behind the Iron Curtain where a process of liquidation of Jewish culture is going on in full swing,” the resolution said.
The American Jewish Congress emphasized in its call that hundreds of Jewish leaders have been arrested throughout Rumania and thousands of other Jews there are under constant fear that they may be arrested at any moment.
