Also present at the ceremony were Dr. Joseph Schwartz, European director of the Joint Distribution Committee, and leaders of various Jewish organizations in Vienna.
The Jewish community here today also handed over to Dr. Lewin 3,200 religious and medical books for the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
