Lord Russell of Liverpool, who was forced out of his post as Assistant judge Advocate of the British Armed Forces over his insistence upon publishing his short history of the Nazis, “The Scourge of the Swastika,” has donated the royalties from the Hebrew edition of his book to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The Hebrew edition will appear in Israel shortly.

Lord Russell expressed the wish that the monies should be used for the benefit of a student whose parents were killed in a Nazi concentration camp. Lord Russell and his wife were guests at a ball this week-end tendered by a group of friends of the Hebrew University.
