A check was presented by Dr.
Kubowitzki, following his recep-
tion by Pope Pius XII, to Monsig-
nor Giovanni Battista Montini,
Acting Secretary of State at the
Vatican, in recognition ;of the
work of the Holy See in securing
the rescue of Jews from FaSeist -
and Nazi persecution, which en-
tailed considerable expenditures.
The gift was made at the request
of the -Union of Italian Jewish
Communities.
Similar Contribution
A contribution of a similar sum
had been made by • the World
Jewish Congress prior to the lib-
eration of Italy to the Italian
Res.'grtance Movement which was
instrumental in saving many Jew-
ish lives.
(The Swiss newsuaper Berner
Tagwacht criticizes the World
Jewish Congress gift to the Vat-
ican, declaring that "when the
remnant of European Jewry lives
in despair and in need, there is
no reason for making such gift
to the wealthiest institution in
the world.")
Anti-Semitism is now on the
decline in the liberated countries
of Western Europe, and the non-
Jewish population there is dis-
playing more sympathy for the
Jews than in the early months of
liberation, Dr. Kubowitzky told
a press conference here.
Economic Position
They emphasized that the eco-
nomic position of many Jews in
France, Belgium and Italy is grad-
ually improving, they find it dif-
ficult to adjust themselves to life
in an atmosphere where they lost
Members of their families and
their most intimate friends. He re-
vealed that there are, at present,
15,000 new Jewish refugees in
Italy, who entered the country
during the last six months. They
are being well treated by the
Italian authorities, he said.
