Urges Nazi Prosecution
At the closing session of the

Poland, declared that every Nazi
should be tried and punished as
a criminal.
A memorial service was held at
the closing session in tribute to
the memory of the 6,000,000 Jew-
ish victims of Nazism.
"Any who embraced and parti-
cipated in the Nazi program of
deliberate •enslavement, torture,
and murder must be condemned
as unfit to live in our civiliza-
tion and should be banished from
this world," Mendelsohn declared.
Other Resolutions
Earlier in the day the conven-
tion adopted resolutions calling
for punishment of war criminals,
rehabilitation of Jewish life in
Europe, and opening the doors of
immigration of America, Pales-
tine, and other democratic na-
tions to Europe's displaced Jews.
Other resolutions adopted laud-
ed the British Labor Party for
its leadership of the democratic
socialist movement of the world,
affirmed the Workmen's Circle's
support of American labor's ef-
forts to organize all workers into
trade unions, and pledged its
support to the fight against legis-
lation curtailing the right to
strike, and endorsed the Murray-

Refugees, who have found a
haven in Detroit, feel strongly
about the urgency of the Allied
Jewish Campaign, according to
Mrs. Ailce Schwab, director of
the New Detroiter group at the
Center.
"The New Detroiter group at
the Center," said Mrs. Schwab,
"wants to give a contribution as
a unit, although this by no means
replaces the individual gifts that
every single one of them intends
to give. This group, consisting
of people who were saved from
certain death and deportation to-
find safety and freedom* in this
land, are anxious to show their
gratefulness by trying to help
save the poor victims of vicious
persecution."
Mrs. Schwab, herself a German
refugee, with her family have ex-
perienced the persecutions of the
Nazis.
