A two-story Home for Jewish Aged, built by Protestants and furnished with the aid of non-Jewish organizations and personalities in West Germany, was formally dedicated here today.
The construction costs, amounting to 750,000 Deutschemarks, was contributed by the Protestant Help for Jewish Citizens with the help of the Organization for Relief of Non-Jewish Victims of the Nuremberg Laws and of the Relief Administration for the Property of Dead Victims.
Among prominent Germans who have contributed toward furnishing the Home are Dr. Theodor Heuss, President of West Germany, Dr. Eugen Gerstenmaier, president of the Lower House of the Federal Parliament, and leaders of the Protestant Church in the country.
Diplomatic and church representatives from many foreign countries attended the dedication exercises, among them representatives from the United States, Britain, Switzerland, Belgium and The Netherlands.
