Dr. Emil Maurer and Wilhelm Krell, president and general secretary, respectively, of the Board of Jewish Communities in Austria, today returned from Zurich where they conferred with Dr. Nahum Goldmann, head of the Jewish Claims Committee, on the attitude of the Austrian Government toward the Jewish claims for indemnification and restitution arising from Nazi persecution of Austrian Jews.
The Board of Jewish Communities stated that Dr. Goldmann had told the Austrian leaders that strong bitterness had been aroused in Jewish circles by the Austrian Government’s sudden reversal of position on the Jewish demands. Dr. Goldmann also pledged that the world Jewish organizations would continue to press the claims against the Austrian Government, and will make known to world opinion the arguments presented by the Austrian Government for not meeting the Jewish claims.
