Dr. Leo Baeck, 72-year-old former Chief Rabbi of Berlin, who spent 26 months in the notorious Nazi concentration camp at Theresienstadt, will be one of the principal speakers at the three-day national conference of the United Jewish Appeal, which opens at the Hotel Chelsea in Atlantic City on Dec. 15. Leaders from Europe and Palestine will confer with delegates from Jewish communities throughout the United States on a program of world-wide aid to the survivors of the Titler era of destruction.
Dr. Baeck is one of several Jewish leaders who are arranging to fly to the United States from Europe and Palestine next week to submit first-hand reports to the Atlantic City parley on the plight of Jews overseas. The United Jewish Appeal has surmoned the forthcoming conference to afford American Jewish leaders from every section of the United States an opportunity to hear the reports and to formulate a nationvide program to aid in the reconstruction of Jewish life in Europe and Palestine in 1946.
