BERLIN—(WNS)—An offer of
help in the restoring of Jewish
cemeteries desecrated by Nazi
vandals has been made by Ger-
man Protestant students at the
Humbold University and Techni-
cal College of Berlin.
Writing to the Berlin Jewish
Community, the students aligned
themselves with the policy of the
Pan-German Synod which de-
nounced mistreatment of Jews
and called upon German Protest-
ants to protect Jewish shrines
from desecration.
Whether for the latest news or
the best in advertising, it always
pays to read the Jewish Chronicle
the year round.
