Resolutions protesting the revival of anti-Semitism in Germany, persecution of Jews in Iraq, and attempts to sever Jerusalem from the state of Israel were adopted here last night at a conference of the Movement Against Racialism and Anti-Semitism. The meeting, attended by 1,000 delegates from 100 organizations and societies, was presided over by the Movement’s president Andre Blumel, prominent French Jewish communal leader.
Representatives of French political parties and of the League for Jewish Christian Understanding addressed the conference. Copies of the resolutions were forwarded to French President Vincent Auriol, the National Assembly, the Council of the Republic and the United Nations.
In connection with the submission to French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman of a memorandum on behalf of the Iraqi Jews, officials of the French section of the World Jewish Congress, in conjunction with the Federation of Jewish Societies and the French Zionist Federation, held a protest meeting here.
