Prominent diplomats, Labor representatives, writers and others joined the Jewish community of Peru in a series of actions during the week-end of December 12-15 to protest the Nazi atrocities against the Jews and to demand that efforts be made to rescue them.
On Saturday, the Peruvian Labor Federation issued a strong protest against the massacres and the general secretary of the organization delivered a nation-wide address on the fate of the Jews. The following day Jewish leaders called a protest meeting at the hall of the Jewish community here, which was attended by local notables. The series of demonstrations closed with a special mass for the martyred Jews in a Catholic church the next day.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
