Burkhardt, newly-appointed director of the files, and K. Baum, head of the WJC tracing service in Europe.
The new director of the Arolsen files is a Swiss national who has been associated with the International Red Cross since 1936. He has specialized in tracing missing persons and problems connected with prisoners of war.

Replying to a message of congratulations from the WJC, M. Seydoux referred to his own efforts in the past to cooperate with French Jews and expressed confidence that he would have their support again in this new post.
