Boston Jews Thank Norway and Sweden for Admitting Sick Dp’s

The Combined Jewish Appeal here has given special recognition to two Scandinavian countries as being the only ones outside of Israel to have opened their doors to handicapped Jewish DP’s. A special “Salute to Norway and Sweden” was held here at Temple Mishkan Tefila where the Boston Jewish community’s recognition and thanks were expressed to these countries for admitting a group of post tubercular and other handicapped Jewish DP’s.

Arthur J. Anderson, Boston consul for Sweden, and Johannes Sigurdson, vice-consul here for the Norwegian Government, were recipients of special citations for their governments. Rabbi Israel J. Kazis, spiritual leader of Temple Mishkan Tefila, lashed out at the McCarran Immigration Law which he said restricts immigration “even to the healthy.”
