A series of commemorative events honoring tie memory of the martyrs of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising is under way here under the auspices of the Ashkenazic Jewish Community. The opening event, held last night in this city’s largest synagogue, was addressed by Dr. Moshe Gurary, of Israel, representative of the Keren Hayesod, fund-raising arm of the World Zionist Organization.
