Jewish Witnesses
To Be Called at
Nazi War Trials

Hebrew Schools
Begin New Term,
Organize Classes

NEW YORK, (WNS)—One or
two witnesses for the Jewish peo-
ple will be invited to testify at
the forthcoming trial of the Nazi
war criminals in Nuremberg,
where crimes against Jews will be
used as primary evidence against
the Nazi leaders, it was revealed
by the American Jewish Confer-
ence.
Louis Lipsky, Dr. Israel Gold-
stein and Meir Grossman, spokes-
men of the American Jewish Con-
ference who have just returned
from London, announced the for-
mation in London of a four-man
committee which will draw up
claims for reparations to be paid
the Jewish people for damages in-
flicted by Germany and present
these claims to the United Na-
tions War Reparations Commis-
sion. This committee will also
deal with "idemnification of and
compensation to Jews, the funds
secured to be used for aid and
constructive relief in those Euro-
pean countries where Jews still
reside."
The four-man committee was
formed jointly by the Board of
Deputies of British Jews, the
American Jewish Conference and
the World Jewish Congress. An-
other committee was set up in
London by these three organiza-
tions to sift and prepare evidence
on the Nazi plot to exterminate
the Jewish people, for presenta-
tion to the Nuremberg tribunal.
An agreement was also reached
by the three organizations to es-
tablish a joint three-man secre-
tariat in London.

Isa Kremer to Star

Isa Kremer, the world's great-
est balladiste, will star in the
Yiddish revue "Jolly Fellows"
which will be presented in the
Scottish Rite Auditorium of the
Masonic Temple this Sunday at
matinee and evening perform-
ances. Isa Kremer has made a
name for herself in both the Eng-

mantic actor and singer and a

"Jolly Fellows" is a riot of fun
and merriment, according to Mr.

Littman.

Classes for new pupils are be-
ing organized in all branches of
the United Hebrew Schools, and
new pupils are being accepted in
all classes.
Additional facilities have been
added for the accommodation of
pre-school children in two of the
Hebrew school units, the Rose
Sittig Cohen and the David W.
Simons. These pre-school classes
are open for children ranging in
age from three and a half to five.
For five-year old kindergarten
children there are classes in the
afternoon from 4:00 to 5:30.
Children of seven and over are
admitted to the regular classes,
and sessions are held, after pub-
lic school hours, at 4:00 o'clock
in the afternoon. The length of
the session is an hour and a half.
Younger children are admitted to
the first session at 4:00 o'clock,
while older children attend the

ers to rededicate themselves to
the observance and fulfillment of
the laws of the Torah and the
preservation of our faith.
Nothwithstanding his personal
observance of strict Orthodox Ju-
daism, Rabbi Zager was not a
fanatic, but was at all times
sympathetic to those who were
limited in knowledge and strict
observance. His method of preach-
ing was not the harsh reprimand
but rather the plea of persuasion.
Rabbi Zager dedicated his life
to every communal institution
and cause that furthered Juda-
ism. His manuscript of 2000
pages is expected to he punlished
