All educational institutions, professions and occupations are open to the Jews of Poland “not as a matter of benevolence but as the rights of citizens,” Edward Drozniak, Poland’s Ambassador to the United States, declared here last night.

He was one of the principal participants in ceremonies here commemorating the 19th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto revolt. Simon Federman, president of the American Federation of Polish Jews, presided at the meeting, attended by a capacity audience of more than 3,200 that jammed Manhattan Center here.

Poland’s Jaws of today, said Ambassador Drozniak, as such laws affect the Jewish people, are “among the lessons we have learned from the bitter past, guaranteeing equal rights and opportunities for all citizens, forbidding the spread of hatred or contempt or humiliation of any citizen on the grounds of race, creed or nationality.”
