The newly opened French Jewish Community Center here was crowded to capacity tonight as Parisians, non-Jewish as well as Jewish, observed the 20th anniversary of the heroic rebellion of the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto. The event was conducted under the sponsorship of the country’s major Jewish welfare organization, the Fonds Social Juif Unifie.
Other commemorative observances were conducted by the Memorial to the Unknown Jewish Martyr and by the French section of the World Jewish Congress. Large sections of the French press featured articles today depicting the heroism of the Jewish rebels in the Warsaw Ghetto.
