The International Auschwitz Committee appealed today to rectors of Universities in Austria to speak out against anti-Semitic activities conducted, by student members of neo-Nazi organizations. The Committee said that the horrors of Hitlerism made it the duty of the rectors to warn against the great danger “which any form of fascism and anti-Semitism represents.”
The Committee reported that the Yugoslav Government had transmitted 5, 000, 000 dinars for the construction of a monument at Auschwitz, Poland, in memory of those who perished at the Nazi extermination camp. A number of other countries had pledged contributions for the project, the report said. Yugoslavia also will help supply materials for the monument.
