A conference of volunteer and professional Jewish community organization workers of Western Europe, believed to be the first of its kind, will be held here from June 16-19 and bring together Jewish social workers from France, Belgium, Holland, West Germany Italy and other countries. The session is being sponsored by the American Joint Distribution Committee.
The conference will be addressed by Baron Elie de Rothschild, chairman of the recently established United French Jewish Fund: Edward M.M. Warburg, chairman of the Joint Distribution Committee and Henry L. Zucker, executive director of the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland.
Following the conference, Mr. Zucker will complete his assignment for the Joint Distribution Committee as consultant and advisor to the Jewish community organizations in Western Europe and will work abroad until August. The Cleveland executive has been guiding the West European communities in setting up local federations and other community agencies. Technical and other information on American community methods has been supplied to the new overseas groups by the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds.
