For the first time a joint Jewish-Christian meeting was held in Frankfurt Wednesday, in connection with religious persecution in Soviet Russia. At the meeting, in which the “Central Verein der Deutscher Juden” participated, 2,000 people were present.
Among those who addressed the meeting were the Lutheran minister, Rev. Kuebler; the Catholic prelate, Herre, and Rabbi Lazarus. The meeting adopted a resolution expressing its sympathy for the religious martyrs of Russia.
